ABOUT THE AUTHOR
J.G. Maccabee is a novelist, screenwriter, producer and game designer. Three novels are published in four languages, the best selling of which, MIAMI MILLIONS, sold 350,000 + copies.
The games he designs have strong central narratives and equally strong in-game characters played by actors with a knack for improv. Ghosts Of A Chance, a Webby Honoree, is a ghost story wrapped inside a game sponsored by the Smithsonian American Art Museum. A second game for the Smithsonian, PHEON, ran live and online, with live events influencing the ongoing narrative of a graphic novel, PHEON: THE WARS OF AUTHENTICITY. George Washington University, The University of Maryland’s School of Information, Colonial Williamsburg and Envision, a charter high school in San Francisco have used J.G. Maccabee’s games. BYZANTINE, a computer game he wrote and co-designed for The Discovery Channel was named Game Of The Year at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
He has written scripts for features and TV at Sony, Universal, Warner Brothers, NBC and CBS.
