Great interview of OUR Creative Writing Conservatory teacher! Thanks so much for posting this. We display his book with our travelling store...someone stole my original book from the display...hope they are enjoying and sharing it! OC High School of the Arts OShop
Del Rey was crazy... "Anubis Gates", "Dinner at the Deviant's Palace" & "On Stranger Tides" were all excellent & fun reads! I loved the fact that the "hero" characters in those novels didn't always fall into shit & come out smelling like roses. It added a sense of realism to the characters that I found genuine. Powers is a good storyteller & I personally would recommend any of his novels. I would love to see a movie version of "Anubis Gates" provided it stuck very closely to the novel's contents.
I lived in orange county also. I sang at the opening of Disneyland The Anaheim High school cour all sang and the train stairs opening day Oh yes I am up there in years I was frank Sinatra's gal for 13 years back in Vegas, Do you think my book will be a movie some day? Breaking My Silence:
Powers is too generous. Disney stole the novel and butchered it on screen. Then they sold the right to make a lame novel based on the movie. I wretch at what will happen to Last Call.
But, the book is sooooo much better! The brightest spots in the movie were geoffrey rush (who was always magnificent as barbosa!) and ian mcshane (who is always magnificent, period!)

The film was a pretty good one. Look forward to reading the book!

if that movie had been made like the book it would have been better 10 fold
I am loving the audiobook of the original novel 😆 Thanks Tim Powers!!!
