About the author

Father, husband, dog owner (actually he owns me), Canadian (living and writing full-time in southern California for 20+ years) novelist, screenwriter, non-fiction book author, former motion picture executive, graduate of USC's Master of Professional Writing program. Author of "The Screenwriting Formula" and "How to Write High Structure, High Concept Movies," and a novel, "God Wars: Living with Angels" that will be available on Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com and Omnilit.com on March 1st). Love my wife, my kids, skiing, ziplining, taking my dog to the beach, watching good films (hard to find them, though), reading good books (never have the time), but most of all writing -- anything! I have a $15 million feature film with a June, 2011 release date, and a $40 million feature in development with "Die Hard" director John McTiernan attached to direct (once he gets over his current legal problems). I just finished my newest novel, "Jo-Bri and the Two Worlds," a YA urban fantasy that is the best thing I've ever written and I'm looking for an agent for that one. Love my life -- what else is there to say? I want to have fun making a positive difference to the world.

[Nadria Tucker · Rating 3 out of 5]

Riddled with typos, but also filled with insightful analysis of screenplay structure
