With the Costa Concordia making headlines, it’s a good time to check out my story “Everybody Overboard,” a suspense conceived as a screenplay and written as a “scriptment,” which is to say a treatment as both story and script. It can be downloaded as a PDF at the bottom of THIS page. Also check out THIS cruise ship fantasy (under the humor heading to the right.) As a news item, my novel “The Methuselah Gene” is currently being recorded for audio by Tim Lundeen, who is a voiceover talent as well as an audiobook producer and engineer (his “Anne Frank Remembered” won an Audie award.) I’ll be interviewing Tim when he completes his mission, but in the meantime HERE is an audio sample as an mp3. By the way, did you see travel guru Rudy Maxa on the PBS Newshour, talking about Costa Concordia? My interview with him (about Paris) is at this blog, under “Interviews.” I didn’t make it to Paris, Rudy, but I did take a cruise out of Barcelona to Nice and Italy in September on a Royal Caribbean ship. The ship passed outside the island where the Concordia sank, coming back from Naples.
