Peter Emshwiller
Peter Robert "Stoney" Emshwiller is an American novelist, artist, magazine editor, filmmaker, screenwriter, and actor. He is perhaps best known for his viral video "Later That Same Life" (a teaser for the full-length film of the same name, now in pre-production), which featured him at middle age talking to his actual teenaged self.
He was born in Levittown, New York. His father, Ed Emshwiller, was a visual artist, and his mother, Carol Emshwiller, was an author.
Emshwiller graduated from MacArthur High School in 1977 and married Margaret Mayo McGlynn in 1991.
His work has appeared under his own name as well as P.R. Emshwiller, Stoney Emshwiller, Peter McGlynn, Stoney McGuinn, McGuinn Stoney, and Peter Roberts.
Peter Emshwiller was managing editor of both The Twilight Zone Magazine and Night Cry from 1985 to 1989.
In 1991 his Nebula Award-nominated science fiction novel The Host was published by Bantam Books. In 1992, its sequel, Short Blade, was released (also by Bantam). A paperback copy of this novel was briefly featured in the Quentin Tarantino film Jackie Brown as the top book in the Billingsley shopping bag during the dressing room money exchange scene at the Del Amo Mall. Both works have repeatedly been optioned as feature films since they were published (notably by Jerry Bruckheimer from 2004 through 2007) but never made into movies.
Emshwiller's humorous poetry appears regularly in Asinine Poetry, and he has had non-fiction articles published in many magazines including The Writer, The New York Observer, Locus, and The Long Island Tribune.
In 2008 he co-wrote the screenplay for As Advertised, a sitcom pilot.
