STOP PRESS:Photo to the left is Michael at the Poisoned Pen
function held at the The Arizona Biltmore, one of Arizona’s premier
and oldest resorts which has operated since 1929. It was
designed under the influences of Frank Lloyd Wright. The function
was held in one of two rooms that gum-guru William Wrigley used
to show director cut films before they were released to the public.
Director John Ford and his actor John Wayne were some of the
regulars. So McGarrity shared the stage with John Wayne. (Thanx
to Pierre O’Rourke for both the titbits of history and the photo and
thanx also to Poisoned Pen for their photos).
See Album page for photos - it looks like everyone had a good
time. Michael will update you when he reports in tomorrow.
More Amazon reviews for Hard Country and it’s unanimous - a 5
star book - it seems that Michael’s readers not only get what he
wants to say but are lapping it up. Amazon’s Bestseller posting this
morning (AUD time) is Amazon Best Sellers Rank: #1,780 in Books (See Top 100 in Books) and #15 in Books >
Literature & Fiction > Genre Fiction > Westerns.
A NOTE FROM MICHAEL
I won’t be sending updates daily, but I will report again on Friday
after my three-city swing to Phoenix, Tucson, and Denver. If the
crowd counts continue to hold, I will have appeared before about
a thousand fans by week’s end. Now that’s heady stuff!
Don’t forget, photos from the tour are welcome. If you snap some
pictures, she’d love to have you send them (Include your name so
we can give you a photo credit) to Di Bingham so she can do a
small website album. If I want to use them formally, I may ask for
a signed release so I can use it for future publicity.
Stay tuned for more to come - Michael
