About the Author:

About the dramatic screenplays:

THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE WANDERING JEW AND THE WANDERING JEWESS dramatic screenplay adaptation of George Sylvester Viereck and Paul Eldridge, who corresponded with Albert Einstein, celebrates the universal story of love through the Time and Space continuum. Anno Domini 2000 was the pivotal year for the development of the extra-scriptural Legend of the Wandering Jew: the seventieth anniversary of the literary expression of the above; the fortieth anniversary of the Hugo Award winning "A Canticle for Leibowitz" by Walter M. Miller, Jr., which features our character, sold over five million copies world-wide in six languages (English, Finnish, French, Hebrew, Italian, and Portuguese), and which I lectured about at the 26th Annual Banff Centre Reading Workshop (adapted into THE ABBEY); and the twentieth anniversary of the passing away of Doctor George Kumler Anderson, whose document of twenty years of research, funded by a Guggenheim Fellowship, was published as a bicentennial edition of Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island (1965), celebrating its thirty-fifth publication anniversary.

About the dramatic teleplays:
