New EF Book?
by
Rick
on Mon 31 Aug 2009 10:29 AM PDT
Hello All - Just a brief note to say that Amazon has listed yet a new David Bret publication on EF due out in November 2009 entitled "Gentleman Hellraiser". I did not bother reading his first attempt -- by all accounts a massive work of fiction with little or no reliable sources. Apparently, Mr. Bret is taking a second run at the topic in order to expand upon "new material" that he did not include the first time around. Rick Saturday, August 22

 Read Tom McNulty's review of our Author Steve Hayes western novel "Packing Iron" online: Tom writes, in part:
"The Western is not dead. I say this with total assurance because I have just read a Western that has rekindled my faith in a genre the critics have attempted to flog to death with their incessant negativism. It’s true the Western has had its high and lows, but this is natural for a genre so fraught with the very essence of the American experience. "The book I’m referring to is Packing Iron by Steve Hayes and it’s published by Robert Hale in London as part of their famed Black Horse Western series." Sunday, August 16

Our Author Louis Kraft has his third interview at Wild West Magazine concerning his career and Louis says, "Johnny Boggs & WILD WEST allowed me to talk about Custer, Wynkoop, Gatewood, Apaches, Cheyennes, Flynn, de Havilland, genocide, race, and humanity... " It's a fascinating interview not to be missed in the October 2009 WILD WEST (on newsstands soon)! Louis adds, "Usually their interviews are about two pages. However, it is now online (and I think longer than the print version...)". Read the online version of the interview with Author-Playwright Louis Kraft Monday, August 10

DESCRIPTION
The star of such classics as The Charge of the Light Brigade, The Sea Hawk, and The Adventures of Robin Hood, Errol Flynn garnered notoriety for wild and reckless behavior, a reputation that wasn't always warranted. In Errol Flynn: The True Adventures of a Real-Life Rogue, Lincoln Hurst masterfully sorts fact from fiction behind the famous name.
Relying upon never-before-published revelations by those closest to Flynn and by Flynn himself—including his explosive private diary during his visit to the Spanish Civil War in 1937—Hurst reveals a man and a story more extraordinary, complex, and fascinating than any role the actor ever portrayed on the silver screen. Hurst focuses on the least understood aspects of Flynn's life and exploits, such as the exact nature of his political beliefs and his largely-unknown private quest for life's meaning. The book concludes with a filmography, a collection of Flynn's unpublished letters, and personal testimony from those who knew him best.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
The late Lincoln Douglas Hurst was professor emeritus at the University of California, Davis.
