I’m very excited about heading off to the Philippines next month to do a series of seminars and workshops under my ‘Soap & Glory’ banner. This is part of Story Tour Asia, a new enterprise aimed at forming East/West connections between those in the business of telling stories for a living.
Here’s an article about it in the Philippines Star, which also has a link to the official website:
Screenwriting confab set in Philippines
I’m on a book reviewing bent at the moment, since becoming a member of GoodReads at Christmas. Here’s my latest thumbs up:
Preincarnate by Shaun Micallef
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is just a scream. The perfect little palate cleanser between weightier tomes. A hilarious debut from one of our finest comic geniuses. It’s laugh out loud and very him. The plot makes not an iota of sense, but why should we expect it to? It wildly veers from the surreal to the insane to the decidedly Blytonesque – often within the space of a sentence. Special cheers to the random Tom Cruise, Dan Brown and Matthew Reilly gags. Sheer silliness and I can’t wait for his next one.
