Josh McHugh: April 2008 Archives

Gerard Jones is now serializing his new novel, Million Dollar Ideas online, one chapter a month, at this link: http//edandjohnny.blogspot.com.

It's a funny novel about a couple of Hollywood screenwriters in '40s, with a surreal twist. Gerry cowrote the book with Will Jacobs, his old collaborator from back when they were regular writers for National Lampoon. Yes, that National Lampoon - it's a wonder Gerry is able to keep his puckishness under wraps as well as he does. See those wraps come completely off in Million Dollar Ideas.

Here's a great piece about facing up to the dreaded contributor bio request:

“Giles Turnbull is a freelance writer based in Bradford on Avon, England. He has a web site at gilest.org. He has written for the BBC, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, MacUser, O’Reilly Publishing, and many others.”

Oh, please. “And many others?” Who am I trying to fool with that sort of weasely rubbish? Of course there have been others, but not many, and most of them were years ago. Some of them have gone bust. A lot of the stuff I wrote in the past is stuff I would rather forget.
