LISTEN TO MADUSA!
I have been remiss in promoting the fact that The Woman Who Would Be King: The Madusa Story is now available as an audio book wherever you get your audio books. Of all my books, I think I am most proud of this one, as it is an amazing, hard-to-believe story that bounces from funny to heartbreaking, never losing its humanity. Now, that said, it’s Madusa reading the book for 10 hours … so imagine how many hours I got to talk to her to put the book together! Buckle up, it’s a bumping ride!
BOOK #20 HAS ARRIVED
Book #20 is now for sale, at Amazon. It’s called Run with the Bull: Three Generations of Sports and Entertainment. I worked with comedian Eric Johnston on it, and had some help from Joseph Casciaro. It is available online and at Eric’s many, many shows. I’m proud of this one, as it goes back to the 1950s for the story of Eric’s grandfather Bull Johnston, who was a wrestler and promoter in Hamilton, Ontario, and then to Eric’s Dad, “Bullwhip” Danny Johnston (who was a friend of mine), and all kinds of other things too, including the deepest dive into the movie Blood & Guts yet. For more details, see the Run with the Bull page.
OLIVER EDITORIAL SERVICES
Besides writing books, I have been hired often to help lay out and edit books. The most recent one I did was a lot of fun, since I’m also a big Toronto Argonauts football fan.
Dan Giancola was a kicker in the Canadian Football League, without ever playing in college, making his story quite unique. Then on top of his time with the Argos, Ottawa Renegades, BC Lions, and even, briefly, with the Buffalo Bills in the NFL, he’s lived a full, complicated life. He teamed with Perry Lefko (who I’ve known for 30+ years) to write his memoir,
Perry and Dan had me put the book together, and then I held Dan’s hand as he launched it on Amazon.
Dan has a truly infectious personality, so perhaps it’s best to crib one of his Facebook posts:
Dan Giancola is feeling grateful with Perry Lefko and 9 others at Bto Performance 106 Ormond Street Thorold Ontario
