The Grand Opening of the Official Dew Point Museum



It's been a while since I've updated this page. That's largely due to my day job but more importantly a great opportunity I've had to direct a show at The Ohio State University this fall. Writing was my first love and theatre my second. In college theatre eclipsed writing for me, and I ended up getting an MFA in acting and taught for several years. Because of...well...life, active participation in theatre became a non-entity for me many years ago, but it came roaring back this fall. I've had a great time directing and working with student actors again for the first time in almost seventeen years. So much so that the release of my story The Grand Opening of the Official Dew Point Museum sneaked up on me. It's available in volume 6 of Mischief Corner Books Quarterly, out early next month.

A bit about the story:

Colm loves his boyfriend Gavin - really, he does. The problems is so does everyone else -- as Dew Point, The Moisture Master! How’s a guy supposed to make time with his fella when his fella’s off saving the world all the time? It ain’t easy, especially if he's missed the grand opening of his guy's honorary museum, but Colm is determined to give it a try. Until, that is, his boyfriend's arch nemesis shows up with plans to destroy the museum and everyone inside. SKULLduggery goes toe-to-toe with Dew Point, The Moisture Master! (try saying that five times fast, I dare ya) but when our hero is electrocuted and left unconscious to drown, it's up to Colm to step in and save his boyfriend as well as the day!

I hope you get a chance to pick it up and enjoy it along with the other stories in MCB's Quarterly Vol. 6.

And if you happen to be in Columbus, Ohio on November 21st or 22nd, stop by Drake Performance and Event Center and check out Doctor Faustus in the New Works Lab. I promise the devil will make it worth your while.
