About

 Playedwell Publishing was created by Lee Anians-Mueller to be the parent atheneum for all of his published material.  Since live theatre took an intermission during the pandemic,  a demand rose for paperback copies and ebook versions of his comedy plays from play-dead.com.  Lee made his plays available at the major book retailers.  Subsequently, he began other writing projects; short stories and novels away from the murder mystery genre. In order to keep all under one creative blanket -  Playedwell Publishing was born.  Comedy plays and murder mysteries could co-exist next to dramatic theatrical works and short stories. All the works can play well together.  The collection can be found at the links below. 

Lee Anians-Mueller was born in St. Louis, Missouri. For over thirty years he has been involved in the performing arts, from acting, directing, improv/sketch comedy, and most notably as a playwright. His first one-act play, "In Between Days" was produced during a national writers' conference. His second one-act, "The Favor" was a finalist in a short play competition in St. Louis.

He has specialized in comedy murder mystery plays that have been produced all over the world. His play "Death Of A Doornail" won "Best Original Comedy" at the 27th Annual "Arty Awards" in Fairfield California. "Murder Me Always" ran for a month at the Laugh Factory in New York.

Lee also hosts a Podcast on creativity called "And So The Mind Reels" and has published a collection of short stories called "Idle Essence: Tales Of Marvin" and a follow-up called "Street Ends No Outlet."
