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!

Two New Books

by Michael B. Druxman on 12/06/14

December 8, 2014

I hope you all had a happy Thanksgiving.

I've spent much of the last week launching my two new books. 

SEXY REXY, my 5 character dark comedy about Rex Harrison and the women in his life, is now available in both paperback and Kindle editions.  I think it turned out rather well, and even though Harrison was not the most likable individual, you should find my handling of him appropriate.  Indeed, if you find Larry David's character on CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM funny, then you will definitely like this.

Here's the link to the book on Amazon...and if that doesn't work, then just copy the address below into your browser and you'll be taken right there.

http://www.amazon.com/Sexy-Rexy-Play-Hollywood-Legends/dp/1503197875/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417060119&sr=1-1&keywords=sexy+rexy

MURDER IN BABYLON is my novel based on the William Desmond Taylor murder, Hollywood's most infamous unsolved mystery.  This is a book that I actually wrote about 40 years ago, then completely forgot about.  I discovered the manuscript in my storage space a few months back and, after updating it slightly, sent it off to my publisher, BearManor Media.  I'm rather proud of this one, which has an official release date of December 16th. 

Here's the link to the book on Amazon.  Same rule applies if it doesn't work.

http://www.amazon.com/Murder-Babylon-Novel-Based-Fact/dp/1593937822/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1417637368&sr=1-2&keywords=murder+in+babylon

BearManor is also publishing two more of my books later in 2015: my Dinah Shore biography and a reprint of my first book, which dealt with actor Paul Muni.

My next project is going to be another book of short stories and/or novellas... depending on how long they turn out to be.  I've got three of them that I want to get down on paper, so it's going to be awhile before they become available.

By the time you read this, or certainly within a day or two of that, I will have uploaded a new review to the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page.  I haven't watched the film yet, but it looks interesting.  It's called STONEHEARST ASYLUM and it stars Kate Beckinsale, Ben Kingsley and Michael Caine.

You have a creative week.

Michael
