The trip to Dodge City to launch Thunder Over the Prairie is a month away. I’m excited about the book being released, but nervous as well. What if it gets bad reviews? What if noone buys a copy? What if people are disappointed when they meet me? My name throws people off. I’m often mistaken for a guy…and that’s AFTER they meet me. The launch parties themselves will be the highlight of the Dodge City experience. Jim Sherer and Carolyn Reeves have been very supportive and kind. Howard Kazanjian, the coauthor of the book, is going to be named an Honorary Marshal. he deserves it. He is one of the finest individuals in the film industry and I’m glad I know him. I met many people during my visists to Kansas and they’ve all been wonderful. I feel blessed. The trip is going to be a great belated birthday present. I had almost forgotten I’d be 48 next week until JC Penneys reminded me earlier today. They sent me a 15% off coupon for the occasion. 48! I remember when I used to think that was so old. It works out to be 72,000 in frequent flyer miles. I have a lot of frequent flyer miles. There have been some new additions made to the website. Checkout the Media section and let me know your thoughts.
