Of course she was, and I am sure she meant it. In her own Dolly way. She is a generous, sweet person. A little ray of Smoky Mountain sunshine.

Someone may have already noted this after reading the excerpt from the book, but I noticed that she quoted from the Nicksfix.com A LOT! Also, she quoted fan reviews...does anyone recognize on PAGE 9 the review about the America West Arena Show? She should ask permission for this and/or pay those people for the right to print this don't you think? Otherwise, this is unauthorized and illegal on many levels...

i was thinking the same thing when i saw eluid's sig, just fab!!!~ so the day this book on amazon is to be released has come & gone by a few days & it still say not yet released

~ is this lady a nut?, i received emails from her shortly after some of you guys did, but had already read posts here about her & was oh so skeptical, so i just deleted them & didn't read them~
i don't think she is legit, & for stevie fans who love to read & look at every tidbit they can find on stevie, what a rip

The book is being released, it should hit distribution warehouses later this month. I was lucky enough to get a review copy. It's not a bad book, it just doesn't shed any new light for those of us who have devoured every little tidbit of Stevie's career. For a new fan, or the casual fan looking for more info, it's good. I am booking the author for a short tour through some of our stores later in the Fall. I will keep you posted as to where she goes...as long as you guys are nice to her.

Did she interview anybody?

Why book her? Has she been reading the Blue Letter Archives any more thoroughly than most of us? What has she got to tell us?

The book appears to be a bore...I reviewed a few excerpts and, from what I can tell, all that has been done is a re-hash of old interviews and a bazillion references to nicksfix.

I don't trust anyone with the name "Halliburton".

Hee. Exactly what I was thinking.

I really don't have any issues with someone writing a biography, but it seems that she's implying through photos & links to the official site that Stevie has something to do with this. And that could be misleading to new fans - that's what I don't like.
