"The Godfather," how to find the Theme and other things you may have missed.

These are just a few links to things that some of you may have missed. So, in case you are interested, here they are.

I recently gave an interview to Henry Sheppard for his blog Adelaide Screenwriter.  He asked me a question about The Godfather and its theme.  This was my answer:

I also did a guest post for Kay Kenyon's website Writing the World:

This is a nice book review from Henry Sheppard:

And this is the rest of my interview with Mr. Sheppard:

An embarrassingly nice review of Invisible Ink. Though apparently not so embarrassing that I won't stoop to calling your attention to it: http://www.paperwingspodcast.com/2012/01/pwp-19-how-to-write-comics-that-engage-your-audience/#comment-8710

Some of you may have seen these already, but for those who hadn't I hope at least some of these things are worth your time.

Thanks,

Great guest blog on KayKenyon's site. Nice to see the emphasis on Storytelling, as opposed to writing. I have some friends with notebooks full of "writing", but have trouble telling me the Story of what the writing is about. I do that too with my comics, but I'm working on it:)
Really enjoying the interview as well. Looking forward to your next book and films man.

Hi Brian,

You're an incredible storyteller. Love this blog as well as your interview for the Adelaide Screenwriter.

We would like to talk to you about the possibility of your attending a 'A Celebration of Dyslexia' that will be held in the Los Angeles area at the Four Seasons Hotel. Could you let us know how to get in touch with you, and thanks!
