This year, I wrote a full-length, unauthorized play, My Brother Walt (http://www.odsmil.com/page/plays), about the stormy but vital relationship between Walt and Roy Disney. It had a well-received reading last January, but I haven't yet found a theater group to stage or workshop the show.

With a Phillip Glass opera (The Perfect American) and a Tom Hanks movie (Saving Mr. Banks) also exploring this historic figure, I hope I can drum up some interest.

I posted a long chunk of Act One at my website today, along with nearly the entire revised first act of my Dracula adaptation, Blood of Nosferatu.

See the play excerpts here! (http://www.odsmil.com/page/plays)

That's really good! I can't wait to see it be made into a show! :)

Novel, play, you have been a busy little beaver.

Definitely get together a table reading. (And Skype me in!) I've done a couple of those with this play, and it's super fun. There's even a little cameo from Salvador Dali in Act Two.

Oh yes, Moonliner. I'm still going. I'm composing a couple of songs that will connect with the novel, I'm polishing some short stories for the website, and I've got a start on the next book. (Also, I completed my revision of the Dracula play last month.) If regular employment should come along, and it better, it will slow down my creative productivity quite a bit. On the other hand, my power won't go out again.
