Great Class!

I had a great time teaching my 3-hour class on Saturday afternoon. There was a full house of 30 students, and they seemed to appreciate what I had to offer.
One young man was even driven down to Austin from Dallas by his father, a noted author of non-fiction. His father is Kurt Eichenwald, who wrote the book upon which The Informant with Matt Damon was based. The young man, a high school student, also wants to write, but he's more interested in fiction.
After the class, Kurt gave me a copy of his newest book, 500 Days, which deals with the aftermath of 9/11. In it he wrote: "With many thanks for teaching my son the kind of writing I can't do."
As I said, I had a great time and hope to teach another class soon.
I started writing a new one-person play last week, and also continued to work with my 3 actors on the three books/plays that are currently in production for audio. ORSON WELLES is almost finished.
The subject of the new play, BTW, is Basil Rathbone. He may not have been as big a star as Gable, Flynn, Tracy or some of my other subjects, but he certainly has a major following because of the Sherlock Holmes films.
This week, I have to order books for my upcoming appearance next month in Burbank at Monsterpalooza.
You have a creative week.
Michael
