Just a quick update for those of you still following along...
My book is progressing again! The title has been changed, but I have decided to publish it under my original name still. As such, the cover had to get redesigned yet again! But we finally think we have the final cover that we'll go with for publishing.
One of the biggest points of contention with the redesigned cover, has been coming up with a design that we don't think will result in a lawsuit from anyone. With what I've seen in the DeLorean community, it seems to be wise to take the "better safe than sorry" approach. And since paying someone to use one of their DeLorean photos wasn't in the budget....we've had to make due with what we can manage for free.
There are just too many assholes in the car world who get their panties in a bunch if you use one of their photos for something without their permission. I could understand if it were a professional photographer, who did a professional photo shoot....but even a lot of these normal car guys seems to think they should make money off of the photos they snap of someone else's car, in a public setting no less.
Anyways, the book is progressing....and soon I will be able to reveal the new cover!
Stay tuned!

Beautiful in Blue! VIN 10496
Saw this recently on Ebay Motors, and thought I should share. This is VIN 10496, and apparently is a "dealer" painted 1982 DeLorean. One thing is for certain....that paint scheme is classic 80's all the way!
The "Buy-It-Now" for this unique gem is $30,000! But considering the cost of the paint job alone, whether in 1982 dollars or 2014 dollars, I think that is fair. You certainly are getting a unique vehicle for the money....but you'd really have to be anything but a DeLorean purist to appreciate this one.
The DeLorean Dream gets OVERHAULED!
Greetings again folks! Believe it or not....I am still here. And my book The DeLorean Dream is still in the works. It has just been going through a major overhaul since we last discussed it. So much so, that I've deleted everything off this blog that pertained to the book as we originally knew it.
The title may be getting changed, though nothing is for certain just yet.
The cover is getting re-worked, with new cover art.
The synopsis of the book remains largely unchanged, though there have been a few developments in my life since I began writing it. So the tone of the book will change in a few places, and new parts are being added.
Obviously I didn't hit my target dates for publication. But as I have found out so frequently with writing and publishing my fiction titles in other genres....things seldom goes as planned in this industry.
That being said, I am still targeting a 2014 release BEFORE the holiday season! Stay tuned to this blog for updates and new information as it becomes available! (My previous DeLorean Dream page on Facebook got deleted due to too much negativity and not enough project support from the DeLorean community...)
Stay blessed DeLorean fans!
