The Inspiration Behind Allegro

I've been a ballroom dancer since 1989 and teaching ballroom classes since 1997. One night, my dance friends and I were at a dance talking to the leader of a Big Band. He told a story about the band leader who trained him and the rise and fall of that band. It seems a disagreement between the members tore the band apart. They split, each taking with them the rights to certain pieces of music and arrangements. (I didn't really understand all that.) The result being no one could perform again their book of music as a whole. That story stuck in my mind and morphed into The Crystal Ballroom Series.

Behind Kubbern's Ghosts and The Haunted Homestead

In fourth grade, I began researching the family genealogy to fulfill a homework assignment. I fell in love with the mystery, the history, and the people. Back then, research consisted of trips to old churches, and creaky libraries---even a few attics. Kubbern's Ghosts and the Haunted Homestead Series was and is my chance to bring some of those characters to life. The names have been changed to protect the innocent and guilty and the stories are fictional, but I hope I've captured the hardiness of those who created today for us.

The Fictional Characters of our Lives.

Frankly, I believe this scene was in large part a mesh of "Scooby Doo," "The Virginian," and "Bewitched." Ya know how the larger than life eyes in the painings always followed Scooby and Shaggy. Thoses eyes were the inspiration for "SuperMoon Witch." And at age six I decdied I was going to marry Trampas (Doug McClure) from the Virginian. Sadly, he didn't wait for me , but that's another story. I liked the way he talked to his horse. Of course, there's a little of Endora from "Bewitched" wrapped in "SuperMoon Witch." Amazing how the fictional characters from out youth remain with us throughout our lives.

Creating Lois Collins.

Lois Collins is one of my favorite characters. She was created as a mix of my mother’s Aunt Lois who called Michigan City, Indiana home until her death at age ninety-four and an ancestor who was one of the early settlers in Rochester, Indiana. Rachel’s stories in a century old newspaper recounted tales of shooting Mountain Lions off the back porch to protect the livestock. Granny on “The Beverly Hillbillies” flashed in my mind and stuck around. Aunt Lois always conducted herself with refinement, elegance, and inner strength. She cared deeply about others and she got things done. Her Way. Yet, I never heard her raise her voice. A lady till the end. In the character of Lois Collins I attempted to capure the essence of both of these strong and passionate women.

Katrina

I created Katrina's character from a family legend. As the old story goes my ancestors were accused of possessing magical books outlawed by the German Government. One night the townpeoples tired of fearing the women with too much power and decided to rid the land of evil. I
