Taking the 1964 Airstream Globetrotter to great places like the high Sierra, Mojave desert and the Northern California Coast,
Working on a 1962 Jaguar E-type,
Improving and maintaining her 1974 Eichler home,
Integrating bleeding edge consumer electronics and on-line social networks into everyday life, and
Most recently, writing fantasy and science fiction....Hello Nano!

Synopsis: Social Endeavors

Social endeavors (a truly awful working title), follows the stories of three teens who learn the truths and the lies that lay hidden in their Northern California town. Good and evil are not always what they're supposed to be, and technology does not fix all.

Excerpt: Social Endeavors

“Hey,” David breathed. “Check out this out.”
“What” I replied.
“Get on Facebook, I just got an update from her.”
“What!” I exclaimed. “That’s not possible.”
“Check it out.”
Fingers flying, I logged onto Facebook. There it was among the weird ads for some flat in New York and the mundane items about my friends in my newsfeed.

Beth Carter is learning the ropes in hell. Wish you were here! ;-)
