A Christmas Cactus
A holiday mystery comedy in two acts
Christmas Eve is no bed of roses for struggling private eye Cactus O'Riley, a fiery redhead with a bad case of the holiday blues. Being a P.I. is a tough business. Is she really cut out to be a detective? Should she try to scrape up the rent, or close up shop for good?
The last little surprise package she needs is a lovelorn deputy D.A., a pair of armed-and-goofy fugitives hunting some dead private eye, and her male secretary's overbearing mother -- who mistakes a tense hostage situation for the perfect little holiday murder mystery party. Just what she's always wanted! And just what Cactus didn't need this Christmas Eve.
It's a Dickens of a Christmas for Cactus as she digs up long-buried
mysteries, unwraps a few small miracles, and takes a second chance on love and luck--and the complicated life of a private eye.
A Christmas Cactus has been produced across the US and Canada, often just in time for Christmas.
Gumshoe Rendezvous
Two one-act mystery comedies
Remedial Surveillance Teaching a night school private eye class? Headache enough for this burned-out ex-detective. And Buzz's new "star pupil" Irene is a dizzy wannabe gumshoe who's seen too many old movies. But Irene's surveillance homework not only catches Buzz with his pants down, it might just save his hide.
Deja Rendezvous Partners? Buzz and Irene?! Yes, but their new private eye biz isn't exactly booming and they can't even agree on splitting up. Can this unlikely partnership blossom before a femme fatale out of Buzz's past poisons their relationship (and a lot more)?

Interviewing Techniques for the Self-Conscious
