I've just published my latest book, IncestAscide. It's full of DANGER, MYSTERY, SUSPENSE, INTRIGUE, MURDER, PASSION, LUST, BETRAYAL, and INCEST; in short all those things that make life interesting. Well, perhaps not personally but they do make for a darn good story (I hope)!

Here is the system I came up with. As you can see from the photos it is essentially a “point and shoot” camera system. It has a handle so I can hold and point the camera and a “trigger” so I can take the picture. If you would like to build such a system here are the instructions along with a parts list on how to build one. The system cost me about $200. in total of which the major expense was for the camera.

Or perhaps it's a Christmas devil that's been stealing my memories. Since I've returned home from the nursing home I can't seem to find very many but I have dredged up a few. Some good, some humorous and a few scary but all precious.
