Jerry has conducted film making workshops, has written several screenplays and short fiction.

July Face the Fiction

Join us Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 8p, Borders, 235 Interstate Plaza, Ramsey, NJ. Our guest this month will be SF author Traci Slatton. Traci has published dozens of poems, short stories, and articles in magazines and literary journals. She greatly enjoyed researching Edgar Cayce, quantum physics, and Rupert Sheldrake's morphic fields for PIERCING TIME & SPACE. For the historical novel IMMORTAL (Slatton's debut novel, blending alchemy and the supernatural in an historical novel that sweeps a mysterious young orphan from Renaissance Florence across nearly two hundred tumultuous years), she inquired deeply into the art and life of the Italian Renaissance, a period when thinkers like Pico della Mirandola, Leonardo da Vinci, and Marsilio Ficino were engaged in questioning the nature and relationship of science, art, and the soul.
