For Page and Screen Interviews Yours Truly

A New Author Interview by For Page and Screen

I am thrilled to announce A New Author Interview just released by For Page and Screen Magazine. Recently, I was interviewed by For Page and Screen Editor Sarah E. We discussed theater, fiction, and making funny character faces. We weighed the difference between stage scripts and short stories, related the trials and rewards of collaborative writing, and generally had a good old time.

My one-act stage script Best Guy on the Crew was published by For Page and Screen Magazine in January of this year. Best Guy on the Crew is a retelling of the tribulations of Job, set amidst the machinations of a mafia crew. A New Author Interview is a follow-up to that ribald stage play.

For Page and Screen Magazine…

This is not your ordinary Lit-Zine. For Page and Screen is one of the few literary magazines that supports and publishes stage scripts. I am grateful to the editors for taking a chance on my one-act play Best Guy on the Crew. Just as they support poor scribbles like me, you can support these fine folks (and Yours Truly) by giving their website a visit. You won’t be disappointed!

Best Guy on the Crew

As I said, my one-act stage script Best Guy on the Crew was published by For Page and Screen Magazine in January of this year. You can read the play right now with no paywalls. Here is the link to my play on the For Page and Screen Magazine website:

Donner und Blitz…

No, not the reindeer. It’s all sturm und drang here in Northern Yurp as summer heat brings afternoon thunderstorms. Big ones! Just the thing for a Midwest kid so far from his birthplace. There’s more than thunder and lightning rumbling through the MEF garret. Stories being crafted, stories being submitted, the backhand of rejections, and the welcome embrace of an acceptance. In other words, more stories on the horizon, my friends.

How will you know when a new story breaks? Glad you asked, Friends. Read On! Drum roll and… Meanwhile, don’t miss any upcoming stories. You can stay tuned for all the latest by following the MEF blog:

And finally, with your indulgence, allow me a blatant book plug. Even writers need to eat. So please, buy a damn book. Thanks!

About the Book

Vienna, Austria, a city of palaces, music, and cafés. But behind the cold, grey stone lies a dark secret. Against this backdrop of culture and shadows, the fates of three unforgettable people will be drawn into a common peril. Perry Farmon is an American photographer on sabbatical in Vienna, searching for his lost creative spark. A strange friendship and a mysterious love alter Perry’s quiet world, drawing him into a shared secret. The powers threatened by that secret force Perry into a deadly flight from danger. He must learn trickery and cunning to survive. His life and love hang in the balance. Zita de Luca is a woman marked by a wine-colored stain on her temple, the shame of her family, and anger. An opportunity for revenge is complicated by an unexpected passion for an American professor. She must choose between the two. Käru “Charlie” Villiger is a habitué of cafés, either an outrageous liar or a dangerous man. He holds the key to the past, but time is running out. Charlie must pass on what he holds before he is silenced by those he has betrayed. He must choose someone else to carry the burden. As the lives of the characters cross, revenge shifts to passion, betrayal becomes an act of honor, and the past exacts a heavy toll from the present. The secrets of the past threaten the lives of those that hold them; the same secrets threaten the men who work in the shadows. The weight of the past will pursue Perry and Zita across two continents, threatening their love and their lives. The chase becomes a conflict of revenge and desire, of shadow and light, of love and the struggle to survive.
