What took you so long to get here?
Where have you been all my life?
I’ll tell you where I’ve been.  

I’ve been in show business!

Ever since I was a little kid and heard Pinocchio singing, “Hey, diddly-dee, an actor’s life for me,” that’s what I wanted. Well, not to be an actor. 
I got tired of that during my freshman year in college.

So, what to do, what to do. . .

After many years as a Hollywood press agent, I became a writer…movies, stage plays, books.  
Anything that was a challenge.  I love telling stories.

After all, with due respect to actors, directors and other artists, isn’t the only truly creative aspect of the performing arts the written word?     
Everything else is “interpretation”.

On this site you will find links to my many stage plays that are available for licensing, listings of my books that are available for purchasing, some of my screenplays that are available for optioning, plus my blog that will keep you apprised of my various on-going activities and we can get to know each other, maybe too well.

If you’re into DVDs, take a look at my monthly newsletter, BEST BETS ON DVD.

Also, if you have a story that you want told, either in screenplay or book form, I am still a writer-for-hire.  Have Mac-Will Write.

So, please sign the guest book and share your thoughts and comments on my blog.  But, let’s play nice!

Don’t be such a stranger.  Keep coming back!

95th Anniversary

by Michael B. Druxman on 01/31/15

February 2, 2015

Yesterday, February 1st, I was a guest on Gregg Hunter's radio show which aired at 9pm (PT) over CRN Talk.com.  Michael Sinclair did the actual interview in which we discussed my new novel (based on fact), MURDER IN BABYLON, which deals with the William Desmond Taylor case, Hollywood's most infamous "officially" unsolved murder.  Interestingly, February 1st was the 95th anniversary of Taylor's murder.

The last time I hit a date like that was with my one-woman play, LOMBARD, which debuted in Burbank on the 50th anniversary of Carole Lombard's death in a plane crash.

Do you rent DVDs or Blu-ray discs from Netflix? 

I sign up for the service every few months, but this past month has been a problem.  It used to be that Netflix would send out your next disc on Monday and you'd get it Tuesday.  During January, the discs would go out on Monday, but I wouldn't get it until Wednesday, which resulted in my getting 1/3 less movies each month.  At the end of the month, the situation got worse.  It's now taking 2 days (instead of one) to return a disc.  That means even fewer discs one will get for their monthly fee.

So, I've just signed up for RedBox.  Truthfully, there are not that many new films that I really care to see, so I figure I'll spend less each month if I just pay for the ones that truly interest me.  Also, it appears that RedBox gets the newest movies a few weeks before Netflix.  In any event, we shall see what happens.

Speaking of movies, there's a new review of IN YOUR EYES on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page, so please take a look.

You have a creative week.

Michael
