Frantic Activity

Okay, I missed Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress on my Oscar predictions.
:-(
I have no issue with 12 YEARS A SLAVE winning those two categories. It's a fine film. I just thought that since GRAVITY is a more entertaining experience, it would take the top prize. Indeed, there were several Academy voters I spoke to who really didn't want to watch 12 YEARS A SLAVE because of the subject matter.
B MOVIE, my stage play about the scandalous Franchot Tone/Barbara Payton/Tom Neal affair is now available in paperback and on Kindle.
Here's the link to the trailer for B MOVIE, and if that doesn't work, just copy the address below into your browser and you'll be taken right there.
BTW: I'm very proud of this play. I hope you'll take a look at it and, if you're involved in a theatre group, perhaps you will suggest it for production.

Here's the link to where you can purchase the script on Amazon.

ACX, the company that distributes my work on audio is, sadly, changing their royalty structure. Any productions not contracted for by Wednesday (12) will receive a lower royalty. I, like many other authors, have been scrambling to sign deals with actors before the deadline. I have 2 offers out; waiting to see if they are accepted.
Finally, there's a new review of MANDELA: Long Walk to Freedom up on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page. It's an excellent film, so take a look.
You have a creative week.
Michael
