Me.



Growing up a voracious reader, Hope would often hide her latest Vampire novel under her desk in class. Please note that this was PRE Twilight... We are talking Anne Rice Vampire novels like The Vampire Lestat! No wonder this led to a love of the written word, wit and the ever present sarcasm that will spew out of her mouth often before her foot is inserted.

As a pseudo-adult, she found herself finding jobs that would enable her to travel. Not for the love of the job but to get out of Michigan. First as a Marine Biology major at Texas A&M in Galveston, a Print and Runway Model in Madrid, Spain to a Flight Attendant for Northwest Airlines.

The Flight Attendant gig lasted for all of three months but what a three months they were which included three long Amsterdam tours. Marriage and motherhood settled her down but after divorcing she found her voice in a few cameo movie appearances (The Double with Richard Gere) and writing for a few local Detroit publications.

Hope seems to have a hard time deciding between writing and being in front of the camera but there is no reason she can't do both!

His Humvee ran over a tank mine, flipped over a ravine and exploded. He was a proud Marine in the 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, 2nd Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force at Camp Lejeune, N.C. He was fun loving kid with a great sense of humor. He always knew how to make everybody smile. He wasn’t a big guy but he made up for with physical training & a great attitude. He joined ROTC in high school and enlisted in the Marines in 2002 after graduating. He was just two days out of combat training when he was deployed to Iraq for five months. He was three months into his second tour

On Set.... Detroit 187-How I got invited to the Wrap party.....

Image
courtesy of ABC                    I have to say, I am dying to tell you all the juicy details of the wrap party for Detroit 187. First of all you need a little background on how I even was invited. For the last year or so I've been a doing a little "acting". I don't think I can call myself an actress, but I have been paid for lines in a movie so maybe I am.  My significant other is on the show since the first episode and he kept bugging me to become a uniform police woman, which is a recurring role (and pays more). Finally with only 6 episodes to film, I said yes. Of course, everytime we got an availablity check from RealStyle (our extras casting agency), we put in for the same days. It seemed like we were never going to work together.               My first gig on set was hilarious and totally embarrassing (at least to me). First thing I had to do was check in, then go see wardrobe where you need to tell them your size. I have gained some pounds this year

Witchcraft, Wicca, Devil worship, old crones eating babies, hexes and that Voo-Doo-that-you-do-so-well, you and I have been conditioned to think these things when you hear the word Witch and now according to The Guardian, young women everywhere are flocking to witchcraft. Lock up your virgin’s! Witches are on the loose. But this isn’t your great-great-great-great- grandmothers witchcraft, or is it?            Image courtesy of Tom Mc Nemar Photography, copyright www.tommcnemar.com Every generation or so you hear about a resurgence in interest in the natural spiritual arts, whether it is witchcraft, Wicca, Shamanism or tree hugging. It is not a true resurgence according to Sandra Stevens, owner of At Mystic Mountain in Royal Oak, Michigan, but people feeling more comfortable to come out of the closet about their beliefs.  Practitioners of Witchcraft have been persecuted for centuries and still are in less educated and more superstitious parts of the world.  “People are not
