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!

Basil Is Back on the Computer

by Michael B. Druxman on 10/06/12

October 8, 2012

For those of you that were unhappy with the fact that I had abandoned my Basil Rathbone stage play, fear not.  It's back on...for the moment.

This past week, I came across an interesting piece of information about the screen's most famous Sherlock Holmes that gave me an intriguing idea on how to instill a dramatic thrust into my play.  In any event, I'm back writing on it, and we shall see how it progresses.

This past week, we also finished work on the audio version of ORSON WELLES, and it is now in the hands of the people at ACX who will be doing a technical check before making it available for sale.  That process takes between 2-3 weeks.

I'm very proud of this one, and if you are an Orson Welles fan, I think you will want to download it when it is released.  Actor Ed French, who performs the role, becomes Welles in the recording.  More on this later.

For my Los Angeles area friends, I will be appearing at the Son of Monsterpalooza horror convention at the Burbank Marriott Hotel and Convention Center (across the street from the Burbank Airport) on October 26-28, so if you're in the area, please stop by and say "Hello".

That's one of the advantages of having written and directed movies for Roger Corman.  When you get old, you get to be a celebrity guest at horror conventions.

Finally, there's a review of THE ICE HOUSE starring Daniel Craig newly posted on the Best Bets on DVD website, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page.  It's a first-rate mystery, so take a look.

You have a creative week.

Michael
