You can buy it directly from the publisher, Rutgers University Press, or any number of other platforms and outlets, including Amazon. Well, what can I say? I can and will keep saying more and more! For now, if you’re looking for one of those kind of books that helps make sense of it all while also being a fun read, then George’s Run is the book for you. The members of what came to be known as The Group were fully aware of what they were doing: along with a wide variety of offshoots and variants, they were primarily engaged with reshaping genre writing for a contemporary audience. You’ve got one of the most colorful and engaging of individuals, George Clayton Johnson, who acts as a main character in a novel about his own life and times while also taking on the role of tour guide into the inner workings of much of what we take for granted today in entertainment, both high and low culture. It doesn’t get much better than that, folks. I have George as our guide, our main character, who connects us with a significant movement in contemporary writing. She also performs various musical and stage shows. She has appeared on television and as a voice over actress on video games and animations. So, yeah, this review got me to thinking. Eliza Jane Schneider is an American actress, voice actress, singer, playwright, dialect coach and dialectologist. I particularly loved the author’s humorous, respectful nod toward the entire group of sci-fi, fantasy, and horror writers by depicting them as shambling zombies. The best thing about this graphic novel, spurred on by the brief, blossoming friendship between George Clayton Johnson and Henry Chamberlain which describes George’s life and adventures as a writer, is the sweet and straightforward artwork combined with a sort of stream of consciousness storytelling that picks you up and floats you along, moving forward through years, events, and situations. Here’s an excerpt from I Forgive Heathcliff’s review: One of the goals of my graphic novel is to connect the dots and make the subject at hand accessible. Description: Eliza Jane Schneider, actress, songstress, oral historian, dialect researcher, and playwright, has been fascinated by sound all her life. It helped me to better appreciate my own efforts. All I can say to any fellow creative, no one will love and understand your work as much as you do until, all of a sudden, it does click and people do get it! This review made me think and gave me pause. This was from I Forgive Heathcliff (depending upon your browser, you may need to do a separate search) and it gets to the heart of what my graphic novel is all about. I was just minding my own business when I stumbled upon a delightful review on Amazon of my new book, George’s Run. Yes, the gang, or The Group, is all here!
