- Writer
JON GEORGE is a native East Texan who very early on discovered in
himself a deep affection for the Southwestern desert. Because of this,
he has spent the past twenty-five years in Southern California and
Nevada. He now lives in La Quinta, real desert, with his wife and two
dogs. He took his Bachelor's degree in Texas, his Masters on the East
Coast, and did his doctoral studies at the University of California at
Berkeley. Having taught literature for some years at several
universities, he decided he would make some himself. However, this
feeling soon passed, and for the next twenty-odd years he has made his
living writing in film and television, an experience which has only
heightened his delight in a well-told story. Among his work are
HARLEQUIN, ESCAPE 2000, FINAL TERROR, ODDS & OTHERS, THE PERPETRATOR
and DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS. He has written other works, produced but
unreleased, and had others sold but unproduced. That is the way of the
business. He has also taught screenwriting seminars and creative
writing classes at area colleges and universities and feels good about
having helped a number of private clients get a start in the
business.
