Still Another Published Screenplay

My screenplay for RIDE ALONG should be available for purchase in both paperback and Kindle editions sometime this week. It's a fun romantic action comedy about a tough lady cop and a liberal district attorney who are stuck together one night in a "ride along". I hope you'll take a look at it.
I've also decided to publish one other of my screenplays, CHARLA, which was inspired by my relationship with actress Charla Doherty, who passed away in 1988. It's been sitting on my shelf ever since, but now I'm going to make it public...with her son's blessing.
CHARLA was not an easy script to write. Indeed, it was certainly the most personally emotionally painful one I have ever written.
Paperback and Kindle editions should be available by the end of this month.
I also got a message this past week from the artistic director of the community theater in Soap Lake, WA, the town that my family and I spent our summers when I was a kid during the late 1940s and early 1950s.
She had read my published screenplay, THE SUMMER FOLK, which deals with my time there, and she would like to do it as a stage play.
Actually, I had written a stage version many years ago, long before I began working on a computer, so there is no electronic copy. In any event, I found the script, read it and was not too happy with it. As a writer, I've come a long way since I wrote that stage play.
Nevertheless, the idea of having this story presented on stage in the town that it is set is certainly intriguing, so I'm going to spend the next few weeks trying to doctor the script to my liking. If I can, the theater wants to produce it next June and I will try my best to be in attendance.
I will keep you informed.
You have a creative week.
Michael
