Make revenantdm a Guide:

About me I am a struggling writer in San Angelo, TX. Originally from Southern California, I relocated to TX in '97. My life is finally taking a good turn for rather than against me for once and I hope to make it a permanent situation. I have worked previously in a host of different careers: Sfx Tech for Movies and TV, Pro Wrestling (Wrestler, Matchmaker or Booker and Promoter); Computer and Network Consultant; Costume Design for individuals, Acting, Security Specialist for major Intl Hotel.Resort Chain, Computer Programmer, Web Site Developer, RPG Game Developer, and Prop manager. I write Occult Fiction which is separate from Horror as Occult crosses all boundaries. Poe, Hawthorne, Lovecraft and Lieber all classified themselves as such. My first book will be published next year some time as a new publisher picked up my contract when the former publisher dropped it. ... I have never been married but I do have children grown and a beautiful, 2 yo Granddaughter named Piper. My family has, in many ways, been my life for 2/3rds of my life and I still have a deep love and respect for them. I am dedicating this site to my father Capt/ David "Tex" Minor, US DOD USN-CBC Fire Dept., Retired, who is the greatest hero of my life. My father passed away in 2002.. Here's to you, Dad... You always told me to follow my dreams, love life, respect others, and do not take life to serious. After all it is a fatal condition they have not found a cure for yet. You never stopped believing in me, thank
Why I use Clipmarks I am a rabid researcher and information junkie. I also love anything to do with the Macabre, Occult or Unusual and consider myself a collector of curiosities. Much of what I find I use in my writing as inspiration for fiction and I am too curious sometimes for my own good. I love the variety of the choices we see placed by our clippers and there is not a day that goes by that I do not come here at least once.

POPS Ghost towning steeped in mysteries of Old West

Other ghost towners described making a half-dozen trips before finding the town, but agreed the search is half the fun. Though their motto is to "take nothing but photographs, leave nothing but footprints," there are gifts to be found -- literally and figuratively -- at ghost towns. David Pike, who grew up in southern New Mexico and now lives in Washington, D.C., has rated nearly 20 New Mexico ghost towns on his Web site. He says ghost towning has helped him understand how his environment affects him and taught him to live in the moment. "It's hard to ignore a metaphor when you're standing right in the middle of it," he said. "When you're standing in a building that was once something and now is slowly fading into not being anything anymore, that's a stark reminder about appreciating what you've got when you've got it."
