Soul mates can be found on-line! Rolling Seas Reviews unearthed this story: The newly released book ‘Instant Message’ (IM) launches itself into the future of on-line dating. Published by AuthorHouse, ‘Instant Message’ has it all -- love and prejudice, hatred and lies. Steven Jackson has worked for Universal City Studios in the production ‘Friday Night Lights’ directed by Peter Berg, along with Roland Emerich’s production ‘Day After Tomorrow.’ The New York author, actor, and screenplay writer of, ‘Numbers…..A Gangsta’s Child’, was interviewed about his passion for writing and acting. “In my teenage years I use to write in my diary about my daily activities and my thoughts. So yeah! I’ve had a deep desire to express myself through writing for over twenty years. When I was a teenager I wanted to enroll into Barbizon Modeling School, I thought since most of the guys in my neighborhood wanted to kick my butt because their girlfriends liked me, I might as well do something with my good looks. But my mother put an end to that pursuit due to her needing me to work in one of her stores. The things I had to do for my mother in them days were worth writing down! "One day a buddy of mine wanted me to take a look at a screenplay he was shopping to film executives in Hollywood. After reading the script I wanted to express myself on that level so I started writing and my buddy became my script agent. I was taught that the best stories come from personal experiences so I wrote about situations that took place in my life and I ended up with three screenplays. ‘Numbers....A Gangsta's Child’ being my first. At the same time I thought since I still had a little sex appeal maybe I could pursue my earlier dreams of becoming a model. So I conducted a search online for modeling agencies. "An agency asked me to come in. They had me read a monologue and the next thing I knew I was scheduling an appointment with a photographer! A dream come true! But the thing is it wasn’t for modeling it was an acting agency looking for new faces for background work in movies. They sent me to a site where Roland Emerich was working on a movie called ‘Day After Tomorrow’, from there I started searching for my own assignments and landed a gig with Peter Berg. I spent ten days in the Astrodome Stadium in Houston, Texas filming a movie called ‘Friday Night Lights’ starring Tim Mc Graw, Billie Bob Thronton, Derek Luke.” Jackson has written three screenplays. "‘A Gangsta’s Child’ and ‘Blood Thinner Than Mine’ were written before ‘Instant Message’. ‘A Gangsta’s Child’ was inspired by my mother who got involved with organized crime back in the late 1970's. She had a ten year run before the feds ended her career in the underworld and subsequently forced her with her children to leave the State of New York. True story!
