Gerald Everett Jones - Biography

Gerald sometimes feels he is a Renaissance man, which might just mean he was born 500 years too late. At various times, he has been a businessperson, a technologist, an historian, a creative artist, and an all-around professional thinker and worrier. His business and computer books have sold over 50,000 copies worldwide and have been translated into many languages, including French, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Korean, Thai, and Mandarin.

Gerald has launched a book development company that packages business and technical books, as well as companion DVDs and reader-support websites. Visit the serious side of La Puerta Productions at www.lapuerta.tv.

He has also served as a business consultant to such clients as Atari, Epson America, Suzuki, Beckman Industrial, and Ortel.

He is an accomplished screenwriter, having studied in Lew Hunter’s master class at UCLA. He has been a semi-finalist in the Nicholl Fellowship Competition of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and a semi-finalist three times for the Chesterfield Writers Program. In fact, he actually won a writing competition once. When he was in the fourth grade, the Kansas City Public Library awarded him two tickets to The Wizard of Oz for his insightful essay "Why Most People Like Tom Sawyer."

In 1999, his play Hypatia of Alexandria was a finalist in the Long Beach Playwrights Festival. You can read an excerpt on this site.) In the spring of 2001, based on a feature script competition, he was selected to participate with nine other writers in the annual Scriptwriters Lab sponsored by the Independent Feature Project/West.
