Rollin - Paperback

by Richard Sanchez (Author)

I am a self-taught writer and illustrator. I reside in Union City California in the Bay Area where I have lived for all my 70 years. My inspiration for this book was a little van I once owned and loved, it served me and my family well for many years. So when I reflect on it my little van came to become alive to me as I reflect on its up's and downs in our every day life. I believe an inanimate object can take on its own life in our imagination where you even start to talk to it. Most people do talk to their cars because most of us use it on a daily basis and we become intimate with our car's and so they even take on a personality of their very own. Given that it opens up many possibilities for an interesting story that is based on fact and fiction. I am also a member of Fremont Art Association where I have the privilege of getting to know other artists that give me encouragement and camaraderie that enables me to grow as a creative person in my community.
