A new play collection

I am very happy to announce that I have a new 10-minute play collection, The Cell Phone Rings for Thee.

It's published by Dramatic Publishing Company, the publisher that has three other plays of mine. There still seems to be a market and audiences for 10-minute plays, though my guess is the mania for the short plays has cooled off somewhat. But I love 10-minute plays, still love reading collections when I can.

My collection is tied together by loose theme of modern gadgets. My comedy, Close Shave, which is about a very aggressive razor and which has had a couple of productions, is one of the seven plays included.

Life has been such that I haven't had near the time I'd like to work on new plays. So I am glad this collection is out now and hopefully it will spur me to action. Naturally, I will be curious to see how it does. My last play with Dramatic, All I Really Need to Know I Learned by Being in a Bad Play, has really taken off. Productions are scheduled all over (even one I noticed in Fayetteville in 2010).

Here's hoping this one joins it.
