Project Updates

Although my film screenings have quieted down lately, I have been working hard on a number of writing projects. My first novel in a series about a young female spy in Japan in the 1960s is complete and the manuscript is currently making the rounds with literary agents. My Nicholl Fellowships script, The Bonsai, has gone through a number of interesting revisions and a new version is out with a number of fellowships and competitions. Now that the country has begun to really face racial profiling, a hot topic in the presidential debates, and the new success of George Takei's musical, I'm hoping the time is right for someone to option and produce my script about the impact that internment had on a young Japanese American boy. In other news, my blog communities have grown quite a bit at this point. SPY VIBE is now nearing two million visitors (wow!), and I just launched a new site, ATARI DAYS, as a place to share some of my writing and artifacts from the 1970s/1980s. Although that period is informing a new novel (based on a recent graphic novel project), I also hope to develop a collection of essays to publish later as an anthology under the same title. Here is the design banner I made for the site this morning. Enjoy!
