- Eon Challenge Results

- The CGSociety Eon Challenge is finished, with absolutely spectacular results! Congratulations to all who participated -- and heartfelt thanks for your time and creative energy. The trailers competition resulted in astonishing works, practically requiring movie-scale productions in themselves, complete with live actors, music, and wonderful CG effects. The illustrations and 3D categories are breathtaking, proving that artists around the world are stepping up to the professional plate with major talent and drive. Needless to say, I'm jazzed.

- QUANTICO Available in Germany
- Posted: 11/29/2006
- QUANTICO is now available in Germany, and Heyne has done an exceptional job -- including creating a glossary of terms that might not be familiar to German readers. Rather in the tradition of DARWIN'S RADIO and DARWIN'S CHILDREN, but this glossary covers political, historical, espionage, and a few scientific words and phrases. Outstanding! Now -- since I don't read much German, I'm hoping my German readers will kindly send in any corrections that might be necessary. Thanks in advance! [Read more about QUANTICO]

- Updates: DARWIN'S CHILDREN and DARWIN'S RADIO
- Posted: 03/01/2006
- DARWIN'S RADIO and DARWIN'S CHILDREN have been released by the Sci Fi Channel and will not be developed by them for a cable miniseries. Executives had changed the tone and emphasis on these books substantially—rendering the New Children into vicious mutant aliens with elf ears, blue blood, and telekinetic powers, something of a mix of "Village of the Damned" and "It's Alive." Eventually, creative differences became insurmountable. Producers Michael DeLuca, Howard Braunstein, and Created By's Vince Gerardis are now free to take the properties to other networks, or develop them as a feature film.
