The cover art is just beautiful.  That picture is just great.  Can't wait to read it.
Cassandra:  I have a potion.  You know it well.  As soon as she drinks it, within an hour, she will go to sleep and have the dream.
Nicholas:  I am much to talented to spend my time drugging drinks.

Hurrah!!!  I just ordered my copy.  I suppose it's too much to hope that it will arrive in time for me to be reading it while everybody else is Festing.

I believe that picture was taken as Grayson was leaving NYC to film The Night of the Iguana in Mexico in late '63.

RJ will be selling it at the Festival, and I do encourage those who will be attending to plan on buying it there.  You'll save on postage AND be able to get the author herself to sign it!

For those who are interested, I wrote a review of the book on the Barnes and Noble page for it.  There is a page for it now on Amazon, as well.

Best, Steve

........If only she had gone to Hollywood instead of Broadway........

.......she probably would never have appeared in "Dark Shadows".  Be careful what you wish for... ;)

Wow!  Just clicked on the link and looked at the slideshow of pics.  What a Glamour Gal she was!  Who knew!!??  She looks like a 1940's Hollywood Starlet in those first 2 or 3 pics!  ;)  Now I really can't wait to buy this book!

i'm starting to think i'm going to need to bring a very fat wallet to the fest this year.usually there are very few new offerings i'm interested in but with this book and kls' new book and the audio dramas and so forth it looks like it's going to be good!
