Everything you ever wanted to know about the hardest working screenwriter in show business ... or at least enough to get by for the pop quiz!

• I'll be offering a lecture at the Applied Complexity Lecture Series in the Santa Fe (NM) Complex on May 14. The topic is Serious Games, Simulations and Autonomous Actors in Evolving Worlds.
• In June, I'll be back teaching a 3-day mentor class for The Screenwriting Conference at Santa Fe.
• In January I spoke on two panels at the annual New Mexico Media Industries Conference, on the topics of 1) the WGA strike, and 2) serious games.
• Story and Simulations for Serious Games, which I've co-written with Nick Iuppa, has been published by Focal Press. You can order it from Amazon (read the blog too!), or if you prefer, from Barnes & Noble (nice review on B&N!). Need a more serious taste? Read chapter 1.
• Hours before the WGA strike began, I completed scripting an ambitious simulation/serious game project for first responders.
• alt.screenwriters has concluded its decade+ run as a regular column in Written By. Check out the cutting edge of screenwriting, as well as some of the reasons behind the recent WGA strike!
