As one would expect someone with the wealth and means of Ashton Cargill has a large collection of some sort. Some collect coins, stamps, books, artwork, but Ashton's main collection is cars. There are few from his vast collections.

1925 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Piccadilly Roadster









1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom York Roadster







1955 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud-the car Ashton gave Ana.

About the Book: Pixilated Obsidian Roses is an experimental work of fiction, in the vein of Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror.
Told from multiple perspectives across various times and spaces, the narrative centers on the lives of two primary characters, Thomas and Diggory Rivenport. Although these two young men exist in different eras of history, both have come into contact with members of the Shedim—odd, sometimes preposterous, beings whose origins are unknown and whose influence in the world is profound.
In fact, the Shedim have orchestrated events in such a way that the separate worlds of Thomas and Diggory have begun to converge and neither is discernible from the other.
"Strange title. What’s it all about?"
Giving a straight answer to that would be too much of a spoiler. However, some clues could be pulled from each word.
pix·i·lat·ed or pix·il·lat·ed (adj.)
1. A derivative of the word pixie—the mischievous, child-like creature of folklore. One who is pixilated (that is, “pixie-led”) is thus under the influence of a pixie-like being, or is acting in such a manner (i.e., somewhat mentally unbalanced, slightly eccentric, crazed, bewildered, prankish)
2. Variant of pixelated. In computing, an image is pixelated when all or a portion of itself is blurred by the reduction of its resolution.
ob·sid·i·an (n.)
A glass-like rock, formed by the rapid cooling of lava, that is usually dark, but transparent in thin pieces.
rose (n.)
The widely cultivated flower from the plant of the genus Rosa, having prickly stems (thorns) and a fragrance often considered romantic.
