Film – Eros Salvatore

My friend Desiree Anzalone, great-granddaughter of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, died last Sunday, September 27th after a six year battle with breast cancer. She was only thirty-one years old. I met her in 2007 when she was just seventeen years old and attending summer school in Ashland, Oregon. She was a part of a group of filmmaking friends we had and I encouraged her to explore her creativity and made this music video of one of the songs she had written. It was the first video I ever made, and despite it’s poor audio and Standard Definition video (this was before HD was readily available!), it shows the beauty of her spirit. We lost touch after she left Ashland and I hadn’t talked to her in many years. Then I found out she had died a couple of days ago on September, 27th, 2020. I plan on writing a short story about my experience with her and our friends that summer. May your spirit live forever Dez, in the lives of the people you have touched.

This website contains links to my published writings and is updated every time I publish a new writing or creative work.

Most of my writings are tragedies, romances or faerie tale-like adventures Some based in reality, others not. I am currently working on a novella entitled Psyche’s Dream – the story of an orphaned, homeless teenage girl who discovers a world of magic after a suicide attempt.

Please sign up to follow my blog. You’ll only receive updates every time one of my stories is published online, which is no more than half a dozen times a year and usually less than that.

These are two films I made that are taken from early versions of the novel. They both showed in film festivals in 2011.
