THREE ZOMBIES AND A MOVIE will be performed Saturday, October 30 starting at 7:30 PM at the historic Chief Theatre in Bemidji, MN. Tickets are $10. The playbill includes HOW TO MAKE A BRAIN SOUFFLE and TENURE, two one-act comedies from my soon-to-be-released (August 16) THREE ZOMBIES AND A DEMON (Stygian Publications), and MARRIAGE…AFTER DEATH (w/. Abbey Ferrier, Heuer: www.hitplays.com) followed by the Bemidji premiere of the short film THE DAY LUFBERRY WON IT ALL.

Cynthia and I are comped Guests once again at this year’s DiversiCON in St. Paul, July 30 - August 1, and it looks like I’ll be mostly doing writing and literary panels along with pitching a few more book manuscripts.

You know, the usual.

Also signed up for the 3 - 5 PM shift at the Bemidji Book Festival Author Signing down at the Lakefront August 14th.

(Sigh.)

Playwrighting career update: I’m now at 670 productions worldwide in 27 countries.

My 50 minute kaiju comedy RODRIGO GETS THE POST MODERN BLUES is now up for sale at Heuer:

Here’s the original artwork by Caroline O’Neal for my upcoming THREE ZOMBIES AND A DEMON:

BEANIE AND THE BAMBOOZLING HORROR MACHINE by Bob May and Roy C. Booth (Samuel French, www.samuelfrench.com) will be produced by the Ragged Edge Community Theatre of Harrodsburg, KY October 22 - 31.

Ironically (and somehow oddly appropriate), it is also now listed as my 666th known overall production…

Spoooooooooky.

BEANIE AND BAMBOOZLING ADVENTURE MACHINE (Bob May and Roy C. Booth, www.samuelfrench.com) will be performed by the Thebes Players at the Lowell (Michigan) Performing Arts Center January 28 - Feb. 6, 2011.

The Thebes Players performed BEANIE AND THE BAMBOOZLING BOOK MACHINE during the summer of 2009.

Yep, BEANIE AND THE BAMBOOZLING BOOK MACHINE (May/Booth/Tibbetts) was produced by the Johnson School 6th graders of Nahant, MA earlier on June 4.

RODRIGO GETS THE POSTMODERN BLUES (www.hitplays.com) has been proofed and is now off to the printer.

HOW TO MAKE A BRAIN SOUFFLE is now officially registered as a winning entry for the MN Shorts Play Festival in Mankato, MN and it looks like we’re up against some really heavy hitters this time:

CAFE A LA IONESCO (from what can tell) survived its festival appearance in Osnabruek, Germany June 4 - 6.

Planning on producing HOW TO MAKE A BRAIN SOUFFLE, MARRIAGE…AFTER DEATH (http://www.hitplays.com/default.aspx?pg=sd&st=MARRIAGE…AFTER+DEATH&p=2448) and play to be named later late fall at the THE DAY LUFBERRY WON IT ALL film premiere here in Bemidji — stay tuned.

And there we go for now.

My editor at Heuer sent us the galley for MARRIAGE…AFTER DEATH (and, by the way, that’s how the … are being used by the publisher on this one…), and it has already been proofed and sent back.

Huzzah.

Abbey is thrilled (she also gave birth last week! Yay!) and I am satisfied.

Here’s hoping we have copies in hand before CONvergence!!!

I am now the new Script Editor over at Lady Luck Publishing:

More publishing news to be announced from that front soon, too.

Other stuff:

THE FUNKY WEREPIG interview went great, found out from R. Scott on air that Stygian Publications will be releasing THREE ZOMBIES AND A DEMON in August, hopefully in time for Diversicon. The podcast for that is now up, too.

I’ve also been tapped to be a guest on THE DARK FICTION SPOTLIGHT as well, stay tuned.

The first of a series of interviews on the upcoming screenings and DVD release of THE DAY LUFBERRY WON IT ALL, a short multi-speculative genre film based on the adaptation of the short story by R. Thomas Riley (from his collection, THE MONSTER WITHIN IDEA, Apex Book Company) by Roy C. Booth and John F. Mollard to be produced by Frosty Moon Omnimedia:
