I was very excited and more than a little proud to see that “ Monologues They’llRemember You By ” had become the number one bestselling book in Theater Acting & Auditioning in the Amazon.com.au Kindle Store today. In truth, I’ve been astonished, overjoyed and rather humbled by the tremendous reception the book has enjoyed since its release.

So a great big, heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s purchased a copy so far, and more than that, I hope it helps land you all of the roles you’re chasing after – for me to know that my words have helped you achieve your goals would be the ultimate reward.

It also saw the publication of my anthology of comedic short plays, “ Ten-Minute Plays: The Comedy Collection ,” which is also proving to be very popular, hitting the #1 spot for hot new releases on Amazon upon its release. And 2018 promises to be another big year, as I’m currently working on a brand new book which I hope to finish in the coming months. This one’s a little different for me, as it will not be a book of my playwriting work but a book about playwriting itself. It’s still in its formative stage, but essentially I will be sharing insights and experience from my journey as a playwright, offering advice, tips, and all ...
