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!

Michael

Creating a Memoir and Book Trailers

by Michael B. Druxman on 06/03/12

June 4, 2012

Seattle's JT News gave a nice plug to two of my published screenplays, MATRICIDE and UNCLE LOUIE,  in their current issue.  If you want to take a look, click on this link, or if that doesn't work, copy this address into your browser and you'll be taken right there:

Also, 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 Criterion's HAROLD AND MAUDE, SEEKING JUSTICE with Nicolas Cage, and a 3-disc set of filmed stage musicals, DIRECT FROM BROADWAY.  Please take a look.

Last week was spent writing more chapters for my 2nd volume of memoirs, as well as working on a couple more book trailers for my friend, Marian Hailey-Moss.  She writes nicely illustrated books for young adults.

This week will be pretty much the same, though my neighbor is coming over this afternoon to do a touch-up the paint job he did on my fence two years ago.  That shouldn't take more than a half hour or so.

Later this month, I'm going to be talking about Basil Rathbone at the Baker Street Pub here in Austin, then later that week, I'll be doing a panel on publishing for the Texas Writer's League.

You have a creative week.

Michael
