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!

Waiting for Dinah

by Michael B. Druxman on 10/12/13

October 14, 2013

I'm sort of in a limbo period right now. 

I've approved the final audio version of CLARA BOW, which should be available for download in 2-3 weeks.  My new book, LIFE LIBERTY & THE PURSUIT OF HOLLYWOOD is out and about, the audio version of HAIL ON THE CHIEF! will be recording in Boston shortly (sans my presence) and now I'm between projects.

Actually, I know what the next project will be (i.e. my Dinah Shore biography), but there is not much I can do with it until the typist who is transferring my manuscript into a MS Word document sends me the file.  Hopefully, that will be soon.

In the meantime, I'm preparing to do the Austin Film Festival next week; a speaking engagement for the the Austin Network Mixer in mid-November and an appearance at the Austin Wizard World Comic Con the weekend before Thanksgiving.  So, it's not that I'm not busy.

I'm also pondering the idea of doing a couple more one-person plays for THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection, but they will come later.

One annoyance that I've been dealing with this past week is that all the lights in my office ceiling fan blew, so doing any work at night has been difficult.  The situation will, hopefully, be corrected by Tuesday of this week.

There's a new review of I MARRIED A WITCH with Fredric March and Veronica Lake posted on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the link in the Introduction section of this page, so please take a look.

You have a creative week.

Michael
