Carson Gilmore is the young author of “Boy on Fire,” a story built out of his critical thinking about the Bush administration’s implementation of No Child Left Behind… More from his website:

Author and actor. My first novel, “Boy on Fire,” is available on Amazon.com (go ahead…order…you know you want to…just let it happen: ORDER NOW ) The book, though fiction, is an indictment of No Child Left Behind, caustically addressing the program’s destruction of creative youths otherwise bound to be tomorrow’s leaders. Filled with sex and booze and achievement tests.

Other than that: I’m “breaking and entering” into the dingy remains of Hollywood as an actor/screenwriter/associate producer. I’m also a passable tenor and fledging sqwaker on the violin, and a composer of sonatas now and again; F. Scott Fitzgerald gazes blearily down at my work desk from a framed photo; and I dig anything of value from the 1920’s-1940’s.
