This one might be useful too: Digital Storytelling: The Narrative Power of Visual Effects in Film
by Shilo T. McClean (Amazon).

Deneva Goins:

This one is a pretty good book too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pr...=pd_luc_0000202408051000262134659

Deneva Goins:

Hi Cindy.. you might enjoy the book Pause and Effect. I no longer have a copy, but check it out if you havent seen it already: http://www.pause-effect.com/

Fred Beecher:

Hey Cindy... We're meeting at 6:30 on Saturday outside the main entrance to The River Club to go find somewhere to eat and discuss IxD for the creative process. Here are some restaurant suggestions: http://tinyurl.com/yvbnav

Looking forward to meeting you!

Charles Hannon:

I'd also like to be included on the book writer's list. I can't locate the blog.

Jeff White:

I'd love to be included in the book writers get-together.

Eduardo Ortiz:

Hey there - I remember you. Very interesting bio! I look forward to seeing you in Savannah as well.

Gretchen Anderson:

Would love to share ideas and experiences re: storytelling. Looking forward to meeting.

Bill DeRouchey:

I love the idea of gathering folks who have or are planning on writing a book. Count me in!

David Malouf:

Hey Cindy, since "comments' sorta float off the page faster than blog entries, why don't you create a blog entry that we can then all comment on, suggestions and interest levels against? Might be easier to organize around a single topic that way ... It's yours to run with.

David Malouf:

Can I get into this club? Let's make it a lunch table ... "book writers"? or a breakfast or something like that. There are lots of book vets and book newbies I'm sure who are going to be at the conference. Doesn't even need to be related to IxD. :)

Dan Brown:

"...planning a book..."? We'll have to get together so I can share war stories!

David Malouf:

Hi Cindy, I'm glad that you are coming to Savannah. Wow! that is quite the bio you have there. Let's talk! I especially like the theme of your book b/c I believe "storytelling" and "narrative" creation is a cornerstone craft of Interaction Design that very few in practice talk about.
