Mandy has a new fan fic just started called Cigarette Traces....This is a cross with the film Velvet Goldmine, by Todd Haynes. It is a kind of Glam rock oddessy about the search for fame and how a person can lose themselves in that pursuit. It's also about how love might stand against something like that.
It is colorful and wild, Ennis and Jack as we've NEVER seen them suffused with Mandy's own unique voice. Here's a taste...
"And they were happy, for a while anyway, until Jack wanted more, as he always did. Nothing could last, not forever. And one night, after Jack had performed his own brand of rock dressed in a frock and platform boots in front of a festival crowd who understood only the Beatles, forever came to a halt when Jack laid eyes on the lithe body standing solemn on stage, torso bare, black leather pants clinging to legs like second skin, eyes coaled with black eyeliner and golden curls hanging lank and greasy over a stone face. Ennis Del Mar, he’d later learn, had stepped onto the stage. How could forever even hope to stand against that?"Gosh can that girl write or what! Give it a try you won't be disappointed
