Art (both traditional and experimental) • Poetry • Reading in general...though I tend to read more science fiction, horror, fantasy and metaphysical philosophy than anything else • Photography • Wraeththu • Vampires • Music (both live shows and jamming with friends myself...I play guitar) • Travel • Wine & Sushi • Philosophy • Wicca... there's really too many things to list here...my interests are diverse and constantly changing, though what I've listed here seems to always be constant...
Music
My tastes in music are very eclectic. After years of working with the SXSW Music Festival and being raised by hippie musicians, I have learned to keep my ears and my opinions open to new tunes. I've done my time as a goth, a punk and a metal head. Now I'm just mellow and love it all. A few of my favorites though are Anders Manga, Soul Coughing, Leonard Cohen, Blue October, Gravity Kills, The Scabs, Morphine, Shawn Mullins, Godsmack, Peter Murphy, Skid Row, Flaw, Nickleback, The 69 Eyes, Tool...really, there are too many to list here...
Movies
Lair of the White Worm • Bladerunner • Dune • Modigliani • All the Mornings of the World • Dogma (anything with Jay & Silent Bob) • Ask the Dust • Goodfellas • Miller's Crossing • Interview with a Vampire • Lair of the White Worm • Born Into This (Charles Bukowski documentary)...again, too many favorites to list here...
Television
I don't watch that much t.v. lately due to too many projects on the burner. On the weekends I always have PBS on in the background as I work to get my good does of round table politics and house building shows. However, I do enjoy "Supernatural", "Law & Order", "House" and especially "Numbers"...
Books
In fiction...anything by Storm Constantine, William Gibson, Michael Marano, or Hunter S. Thompson...My tastes in literature are very diverse though and I tend to simply wander through the isles of a bookstore in search of something "new" each time I visit... In poetry, Leonard Cohen, Charles Bukowski, Ginsberg, Buroughs, Kerouac, Ric Williams, Lyman Grant, Joe Hoppe, Saul Williams...
Heroes
Storm Constantine...a pure literary goddess!
Michael Marano for always inspiring me as a writer!
Leonard Cohen...the god of poetry!
My friends that have stuck with me over the years...
The political and environmental activists I know who go out and fight the good fight each and every day against the looming powers that threaten this beautiful world...You are all angels!..
Ground breaking technohorror author. Eclectic free verse poet. Abstract artist. Branding design expert and public relations manager. These are only a few of the titles I have earned over the years as I have worked in the publishing, fine art and advertising industries. When I am not dreaming up my next novel or collection of poetry, I work primarily through my own independent studio, Faust Productions, where I develop and manage a variety projects for both domestic and international clientel that range from corporate branding and advertising design to literary and film promotions and representation. My primary focus in this aspect of my career at this time is to build an international network of outstandingly creative professionals to branch out further into the literary and film industries.
In 2005 I published my first full collection of poetry, entitled “Before Icarus, After Achilles”, with Publish America. The following year I worked with my mentors Storm Constantine and Michael Marano to polish the completed manuscript for the first book in the Eternal Vigilance series. The first novel, From Deep Within the Earth, was released in April of 2008 by the UK publisher Immanion Press, Storm Constantine's small press. The second installment, The Death of Illusions was released in March of 2009 and has already gained a substantial amount of great press! You can read more about the Eternal Vigilance vampire series on my website: www.gabriellefaust.com. In March of 2009 my new collection of poetry, entitled Crossroads, was also released by Houston-based publisher Seraphmera Books.
My work as a writer and illustrator has appeared in such publications as Darkened Horizons, Ladies of Horror, GUD Magazine, The Bloodied Quill, Doorways Magazine and the websites, SciFi Wire, Fear Zone and Fatally Yours. I am currently at work on the screenplay adaptation of the Eternal Vigilance vampire series, as well as the comic book version of the novels.

I am feeling somewhat better, thanks. Sorry we didn't get to hang out more while you were in town; perhaps Samhain? When do you arrive in NOLA? Oh, btw, my pc at home has died. I'll only be able to check messages & such from work during the daylight hours for now...
Chicks dig scars, everyone knows that, right? Meet Severence DeSnappio, a man who creates ‘fake’ injuries for desperate clients. He’ll get you a stab wound, shot gun blast, snowboarding injury - but a bite from a great white shark?
Set in Miami, Chicks Dig scars is a lyrical, Lynchian mix of dream logic and hard boiled detection.
