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!

Holiday Disasters

by Michael B. Druxman on 01/03/15

January 5, 2015

Happy New Year!

I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday season.

Mine was a bit of a disaster.  About ten days before Christmas, our projection TV died, so now we have a new 4K flat screen in our family/living room.  Then, on New Year's Eve, our washing machine quit.  The service guy came out on Friday, and the repair is not going to be cheap, but much less expensive than the cost of a new machine.

Other than that, it was a pretty quiet holiday season.  I started reading actor Paul Henreid's excellent autobiography, LADIES MAN, which I am thoroughly enjoying, and on New Year's Day, I re-started our subscription to Netflix.

On this coming Friday, I will be doing a live radio interview with Mary Jane Popp, who has a show on a Sacramento station.  We'll be talking about my book, MURDER IN BABYLON, which deals with Hollywood's infamous William Desmond Taylor murder.  The book was published in early December and is selling well.

This week, I will probably start writing again.  I've been laying off for a few weeks, but I have a book of short stories/novellas that I want to do.

There are three new reviews on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page.  They are BLACK SAILS, Season One, BY THE GUN a pretty good Mob movie, and THE MERV GRIFFIN SHOW, a terrific 12 disc set.  So take a look.

Winter has finally come to Austin.  It's cold and rainy here, and it will probably be that way all week.

You have a creative one.

Michael
