Introduction to Glamour

 


Two genies in a bottle waiting for Alladin to rub them the right way 

 My name is Iory Allison and the Glamour Galore blog is about self-publishing. The main body of my work consists of the Glamour Galore trilogy which is a gay comedic saga set in Boston and Provincetown, Massachusetts with a hefty side trip to Aruba.

This blog explores the avenues of self-publishing that are  opening up for me as I realize the potential of developing media in our time. I started with a print on demand edition of my first book The Family Jewels. iUniverse is the publisher of my books and I will have more to say about all of that presently. I created a website for The Family Jewels and now I am adding  pages to that site which are specific to my second book, Naughty Astronautess

In addition to writing I also create photographic collages with layered digital imaging. My collages are a progression of works that I have created since I was a boy starting with found natural objects and evolving into photographic and antique printed material. Using my extensive travel photographs and my collage graphics I illustrate my fictional world creating the covers of my books, website decorations, business cards, post cards, newspaper advertisements and even my own glamour money (the Naughty Astronautess two-dollar bill).
 
My newest venture into self-publishing is this blog and as I become more proficient with all of its capabilities I will also be audio broadcasting (pod casting) my writing from this platform, a venture that has my brain fairly buzzing with ideas.

 Any posting that I create here will be within the realm of self publishing but I am not an expert concerning this and I will not be writing a How-to Manual of any kind. My concentration is on creating original material through writing, collaging, blogging, photography and dramatic reading. My subjects will be life’s comedy through a filter of my fictional world where I invite you to ponder the unfolding drama and look for the fact in the fiction.
