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!

Paul Muni is Back

by Michael B. Druxman on 11/02/14

November 3, 2014

BearManor Media will be re-publishing my Paul Muni biography late next year.  It's been out-of-print for over 40 years, but used copies still sell well on the Internet. 

I'd been hesitant to reprint the book, primarily because it was my first book and I had not yet developed my writing style.  But, the information and research in it is solid and, bottom line, if people want to read it, then I figured that I should get a royalty. 

But, before that book comes out, MURDER IN BABYLON, my William Desmond Taylor novel will become available in December and, next summer, my Dinah Shore biography will be published.

I saw the cover for the WDT book this past week, and it looks great.

I'm down to the last few pages (of the first draft) of my new stage play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection.  After I finish writing this, I think I may do another book of short stories.  They wouldn't be too short.  More like novellas.

Finally, the Best Bets on DVD site is back up and there are several new reviews on it: THE COMPLETE JACQUES TATI, GOOD PEOPLE, BEGIN AGAIN (I really liked this one), THE ONE I LOVE, THE HONORABLE WOMAN and SUNDAYS AND CYBELE.  You can access the site by clicking on the link in the Introduction section of this page.

You have a creative week.

Michael
