SuperObamaWorld

Dear England, the game you've all been waiting for is here!

You might recognize the game!

Screenplay complete!

I am pleased to say I've now completed a screenplay for my novel The Pride and the Sorrow.

To distinguish it from the novel, I've called the screenplay The Knight of New Orleans. It's currently with the Film and TV agent Meg Davis, Director of MLA Literary Agents in London.
I also took the move of registering The Knight of New Orleans with the Writer's Guild of America, East as proof of copyright. Copyright is immediately assigned to the originator at the point of writing, so registering any work (or mailing it to yourself in a sealed post-stamped envelope) has to be a wise move.

I look forward to The Knight of New Orleans being sent out in 2009!

Singapore Creative Writing interview!

The above pic shows the green roof of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. I'm pleased to receive an interview there for Assistant Professor of Creative Writing! I'll be mowing the roof garden part-time.

I'm excited about the interview, happening on a Sunday night for me and early Monday morning for the Nanyangs, given Singapore is 13 hours ahead of the US!

Here's the Division of English department. Terima kasih, NTU!

Enjoy yourselves!

This one is for America folks - London buses are now sporting advertisements from the British atheists...and apparently people are responding positively. Click the bus above for the full story!

Why not call the campaign "enjoy yourself with no consequences"?

Looks like the Ancient Greeks were the funniest guys after all. Click here or the pic for the article.

The Monty Python crew have classic taste, even the Greeks would agree.
