Other than the HOT weather life is going well. It should NEVER be over 100 degrees when it is fall. I don?t care what anyone says. When autumn comes it should be cool and the leaves should change color.

Here are some updates:

Erica & I

Life has been busy the past month. Erica and I are doing great. She just celebrated her birthday this past week and is excited that she got a new look and a massage. Her bright smile is as illuminating as ever. She is an amazing nanny! Big named celebrities and high up business folk out here have tried to steal her away from her current family, because as many of you already know she is great at what she does. Erica is good at lots of things so she is trying to find outlets for her creativity. For her birthday she got her hair done, we had a nice lunch at George Clooney?s favorite ribs joint, and we got a wonderful couple?s massage.

Writing

I finished my latest book a few weeks ago. The next phase is edits, but the bulk of the work is done. Tyndale has it slated to come out fall of 2010. I currently have about 8 other proposals out there that are drawing interest from various publishers, so we pray for the right home for each project. Also I have been writing articles and reviews for different websites and that has been fun. The Internet is so useful for a lot of different things. Crazy Circus World continues to sell well despite the fact that it is only out on a soft release (my website). The hard release should be later this year so people will be able to order the book through Amazon and Barnes and Noble?etc. BUT ORDER THROUGH MY WEBSITE AND I CAN SIGN IT FOR YOU.

Acting

I have been out on auditions a lot recently, but the entertainment industry like so many others is taking a hit, because of the economy. Last week I did a Young and the Restless and a Subway audition. I am thankful for these auditions, especially since several of my friends can?t even get their foot in the door. It is a crazy place. We keep hoping for the best.

Producing

In the next month or so my brother and I and a few others will be laying down the foundation to produce our own projects. More about this will come later, but the first project is starting to take shape and the possibilities are very exciting. If you are interested in making movies, being involved, or even investing feel free to contact me via this site. Even if you know of potential investors contact me.

Movie

House of Fallen did very well in the festival. It was nominated for best director and best film. C. Thomas Howell won for best actor for the film.

For Fun

I came across this video about G.I. Joe and I think it?s hilarious, so check it out if you want.

p.s. I still have not figured out why my " ' " keep turning into "?" on here.

House of Fallen opens it's festival premiere on August 27th, 2009. It stars C. Thomas Howell, Corbin Bernsen, & Jayce O'Neal.  

House of Fallen -Three tales one ancient evil. House of Fallen describes the tales of a shadowy group known as The Twelve, whose mission is to destroy the fallen angels who still walk among us. Its a classic and timeless tale of good versus evil. The film also features heavy doses of ancient prophecy and mystery and recurring elements of suspense & action. The film is divided into three tales that intertwine and enrich each other.

Here are the details:

Happy 4th of July from LA! Have fun celebrating our freedom this weekend. Have fun, but be safe. I have just returned from Michigan for my mom?s surgery. She is doing great and recovering well. She is in good spirits too. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers. Here is a fun video from that trip (she approved this video):

TRIP

I did not sleep much on the trip, because of the time change, the time at the hospital, and trying to connect with friends and family since I do not see them that often. I had to leave at 3am on Thursday to make it to Detroit on time for my flight, so needless to say I was up for nearly two days straight. Once I got back to LA I caught a bus and then jumped on the subway and walked with my bags for a good mile or so. When I got into our place I checked my email and then went to sleep.

BOOKS

I have GREAT news! I have gotten ANOTHER book deal, which I should start to work on rather soon. I have also been contacted about other potential projects as well.

ACTING

I have been auditioning and have even gotten call backs which in the acting world is like hitting the jackpot. These projects are from Nickelodeon, ABC, and various films. So far things in LA LA land have been quieter than normal, but the rumor is that after this weekend more projects will go into production. Therefore, more people should be casting soon!

The economy has hurt even the film industry. California is in disarray and the taxes here are CRAZY! The finances have gotten so out of control people are moving out of the state and many of the companies are doing productions outside of good old Cali. So it is definitely an interesting time in the Golden State.

STAY CONNECTED

We always love to hear from you so drop a note to us or find us online.

CURRENT BOOKS

Don?t forget that you can order both of my current books through this website. It goes through PAYPAL so it is safe!

When we hear (or read on facebook or twitter) our friends convey their woes of rain and overcast days, we mourn the fact that all we get is sunshine! We love the good weather but very much miss the variety that other places offer. However, we have no bugs or mosquitoes so that is great!

Erica and I are doing very well. We went hiking this past weekend up in the hills and had a picnic lunch in a nice garden. We very much enjoyed ourselves and could have used a bit of overcast to lower the heat, but we were loaded with water so it was a great time. We also had a cookout with our friends Frank, Carol, and Debbie. We ate some chicken and other fine foods. Overall, it was a grand Memorial Day. We have also taken in the season finales of American Idol, Heroes, Lost, and Chuck. We were even more thrilled that Chuck was renewed for another season.

Books

Both books are available to order online (Books by Jayce tab) and have been getting very good reviews. Here is a portion of one of those reviews:

 

I'm falling in love with this book series... Now, as we move into commencement season, here's a great gift for your graduate!

"100 Answers to 100 Questions Every Graduate Should Know" covers a wide variety of topics. Lila and Jayce really know their stuff--I found myself asking 'where was this book when I graduated?!'

Future Projects

I have recently been contacted about future projects and am very excited about them. I will write more about them when the time is right.

We hope all is well and look forward to hearing from you!
