My newest play, "Holding," has been selected as a Semifinalist in the 2015 Eugene O'Neill National Playwrights Conference. The Eugene O’Neill Theater Center is the country’s preeminent organization dedicated to the development of new works and new voices for the American theater. The O’Neill has been home to more than 1,000 new works for the stage and 2,500 emerging artists. Scores of projects developed at the O’Neill have gone on to full production at other theaters around the world, including Broadway, Off-Broadway, and major regional theaters.

In "Holding," three worldviews collide when a wealthy American woman finds herself detained with an Egyptian traveler, questioned by a small-town sergeant in a police holding room in Ireland.

Proud to announce that my short film "Open House" was selected Best Video Short in the 1st Annual Cake Batter's Funny Women LA Festival at iOWest this past weekend! Our film will be featured on Jill Soloway’s (creator, writer and director of Amazon’s hit series Transparent) WIFEY.TV web site and she will review it, too. "Open House" will also be featured on the iOWest Web site front page and iOWest Youtube channel. 

A big thanks to our cast and crew Carrie Barrett, Herbert Russell, Marisha Mukerjee, Lauren Bennett, and Jason Serrone. And another big bucket of gratitude for everyone involved with the Funny Women LA Festival and iOWest!

Please stop by the SUPe Store Tent on the University of Alabama Quad between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on Iron Bowl day, Saturday Nov. 29. The tent is located near Denny Chimes. I"ll be signing copies of my book, "When Mommy Loves Bama and Daddy Loves Auburn," which are available for sale there, as well as The Auburn University Bookstore, Amazon.com, and Little Professor Book Center and The Dande Lion in Birmingham.

Look forward to meeting you then!

My short comedy film, "Open House," is now viewable on FunnyorDie.com! Check out this two-minute sketch and click "Funny" if you like it. (If you didn't, that's cool, but I'll expect an 10,000 word essay about why it wasn't to your taste. No pressure.)

Open House (2014)

I'm thrilled to announce that "Open House," a short comedy film I wrote, has just been selected as part of the 2014 L.A. Comedy Shorts Film Festival! The festival is May 15-18 at Downtown Independent in Los Angeles. Tickets are available now and we hope to see you there.

We were also excited to be included in the Los Angeles Comedy Festival this past April, in Hollywood's Let Live Theater. We were so impressed with the quality of films, and had a blast meeting new people.

"Open House" is directed by Marisha Mukerjee, and stars the brilliant and hilarious Carrie Barrett and Herbert Russell (in addition to myself, ahem!). The short film is a twisted look at what happens when a house-hunting couple and a real estate agent have a truthful conversation (listening not required). 

With Auburn playing for The BCS National Championship, and Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, make sure you have your copy of the hilarious book When Mommy Loves Bama and Daddy Loves Auburn!

It's the perfect antidote to game day anxiety. This spoof of a children's book provides hilarious perspective, regardless of which side of the house you live in.

Get your copy of this fun book today and see why Winston Groom (author of "Forrest Gump") calls it "delightful!"
