Petticoats

This is the second of my short plays about Maud Duncan. This is about the "Petticoat Government" of Winslow, AR who held office for two terms from 1925-1927.

Carl Webber is a fictional character. To understand some of the context, Maud wrote in favor of going to war with Imperial Germany during WWI. Carl Webber is a German name, but he fought for the US and the Allies when he was 18-19.

Justified "Measures"

"Raylan squares off with a pair of Detroit hitmen; the battle between Boyd and Quarles comes to a head."

Where It Went Wrong


Yes, I'm breaking out the red pen.
At this juncture in my life, no one is going to confuse me for a successful writer. Outside of two short plays to be performed in the near future, none of my works have ever seen the light of day. I don't have a degree in creative writing. Or literature. Or even English. Some people might think this would disqualify me from passing judgment on others whose writing has been more successful, both commercially and critically. They may even be right.

Castle "47 Seconds"

"When a bomb kills five people at a protest rally, Beckett and Castle try to solve the case by reconstructing the 47 seconds prior to the explosion. Using video and witness accounts, they uncover the shocking truth about who planted the bomb."

Hoodies, Racism, And The Urban Community: My Defense of Geraldo

On February 26, George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin. Martin was unarmed. Zimmerman was carrying a 9mm. After the initial call to the 911 dispatch, Zimmerman was told to stop trailing Martin, whom he thought looked suspicious. He didn't. Shortly after, Martin was dead. Truth is, those are really the only facts we know about the case of a 17 year old unarmed black teenager shot to death by a 28 year old Hispanic neighborhood watch leader. It's a tragedy whether Zimmerman was in the right to shoot or not.

"The soulless eyes of capitalist marketing!!!"
A lot of things have changed in the lives (and the world) of our favorite advertising agents in the 17 long months Mad Men has been off the air.
