More About the Author
May you live in interesting times, say the Chinese, and they mean it as a curse.
And these are interesting times for the publishing industry. And all of us involved in it, one way or the other. Storytelling is in a state of transformation as well, with devices such as the Ipad and technologies such as Flash promising wholescale integration of other media (images, recordings, etc., now - sensations? smells? to come?) alongside traditional text narratives.
This is a topic of much interest to me, and others, and you can find much about it over at the appropriate LinkedIn discussion page.
In the meantime, I am working on several projects integrating those forms. One in particular I'm excited about is NUTS. I mean that, literally, NUTS.
I'm also hard at work in the universe created by Brad Wardell over at Stardock Inc., which is right now taking shape in the form of a videogame (or two); Elemental: Fallen Enchantress, a turn-based strategy game set in a S&S (not Simon and Schuster, sword and sorcery!) universe, will be out in February of 2012, and I urge you to watch for it.
In the meantime, keep reading. I've just finished a book called Heaven's Keep, by an author I worked with many years ago at Pocket Books, William Kent Krueger, who is right about at the top of the mystery/suspense genre. That's the ninth or so book in a series he's been working on for a long time, featuring a character named Cork O'Connor. Do not start with Heaven's Keep. Read from the beginning - Iron Lake.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Adam Sandler is a god,
This review is from: Adam Sandler: An Unauthorized Biography (Paperback)
Adam Sandler is my idol. He has been for a while. I own every movie and have posters and every cd of his and 2 books. This one is awesome. I only gave it 4 stars though because i don't anymore unathourized biography i want a full fledged Adam Sandler autobiography. I shall leave you with this though... This book is a must have for the smallest ot the largest (me) Sandler fan.
5.0 out of 5 stars

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Adam Sandler: An Unauthorized Biography (Paperback)
I have spent my life since I first saw adam trying to make myself as funny and cool as he is. Well when I read this book it let me know a lot of things I didn't know about adam. I reccomend this for any fan. Whether you are also one of his biggest fans like me or just a small fan you'll probably like it.
