The following is taken from the journal of Earl Yorke, December 26, 2002:
Dina and I just finished calling all of our “references” on our application for an appartment in South Berwick. They’re all fake of course; family members posing as friends, but we’re desperate and we really want this appartment… BADLY. I feel like Ezeth, trying to evade the Romu’ateb just so that I can stay alive [nobody, save for a few, will understand what the “Romu’ateb” are until “The Focus of Bloodlines” is published, but I’ll say this… Vampire Evolution].
I hope to go over to Best Buy later to get a usb cable for Dina’s mp3 player, and to pick up all of the various “Luscious Jackson” cds that I can find. Ralph[my uncle]and I have found that we are both really into their music right now… perhaps I’ll borrow mother’s Lexus[I still find myself drooling to this day every time I think about driving that car!]
This entry will be a quick one since I’m anxious to continue my work on “The Dominance Flush.” I’m at a crucial point in the story where my main character, Sheila Haventon, is beginning to loosen up a bit (both mentally and spiritually). She is starting to question her own prudish attituded and religious obsessions. This will be the third book that I’ve worked on in 2002[little would I know that it would take me an additional three years in order to edit them]… what can I say, I’m in a zone!
