RED ASPHALT
See that car in your rear-view mirror?
The driver wants to kill you.
Don't take it personally.
You're just in the way.
Calvin Wheeler is an American dreamer in a triple threat cage match with his two biggest adversaries-everyday life and himself. His marriage to the woman he believed to be his soul mate is rapidly evaporating before his eyes. The book he’s been working on for over a decade is slipping through his fingers as he struggles to complete it. As these pressures grow, Calvin compensates by conjuring up outrageous road rage scenarios in the multiplex of his mind. To make matters even worse, he drives for a living. As his life, job and dreams simultaneously implode, his wild fantasies begin to literally bleed over into reality. Now with a gun in one hand and a steering wheel in the other, this distant runner-up in the human race feels empowered for the very first time. At least our boy’s finally found a purpose in life.
Red Asphalt tells a violent, tragic tale with darkly humorous touches and pointed social commentary. And the moral to the story?
Traffic can be murder...
"RED ASPHALT is a joy ride to read. Buckle up and hang on tight!"-Shannon Yarbrough, LBR

IN THE DARK
A LIFE AND TIMES IN A MOVIE THEATER
Most people have a memory bank.
This guy has a movie theater in his head.
At least the floor isn’t sticky.
In The Dark: A Life and Times in a Movie Theater is an anecdotal personal history of one of life’s great pastimes-going to the movies. This comical coming of age saga recalls such Baby Boomer cinematic events as the final days of the Saturday afternoon matinee, backseat action at the drive-in, and the rise and fall (no pun intended) of the skin flick. Take a trip down Memory Lane, potholes and all, with this self-proclaimed film geek as he lives his own version of the American Dream of life, liberty and the pursuit of one great movie after another.
"Cherney weaves a fascinating tale of his obsession with the silver screen."-Joseph Fotinos AKA Legendary Horror Film TV Host Professsor Anton Griffin
"A fun journey!" -Actor/Director D.W. Landingham
