Welcome to the blog and website! And hopefully, welcome to our new book, a treasure trove of fiction stories and rare insight about Elvis Presley, his friends, and his fans.
Come on in and make yourself right at home. The website is an extension of the latest specific labor of love, a story involving Elvis Presley, his friends, and his fans. I started to list family, too, but the truth is that Elvis’s friends and fans are family. We all have an instant connection and an understanding through the music and artistry of the Hillbilly Cat from Memphis. From day one in 1954, young and old alike were drawn to this shy but immensely talented county boy, and all these decades later, the connection remains strong.
The world of Presley is one that outsiders don’t readily understand. They shake their heads and throw up their arms; “if it makes you happy, then no harm done. I don’t get the fascination, but, well, ok.” We’ve all heard that sentiment; some out loud, some whispered among themselves. I’ve spent time at Graceland and still look around in disbelief, wondering what the King would make of it all. He was unassuming in his fame and always expressed gratitude to his fans, with disbelief at all the fantastic events he had experienced.
This story Selwyn and I have developed is a testament to Elvis’s magnetic pull. Although we come from different points on the globe, have differing backgrounds, and have differing experiences, we have developed a story together that centralizes the world of an Elvis fan. That’s pretty amazing in itself. The Elvis world can be a pretty cool place, so welcome! Visit often, and tell your friends and fellow fans—or simply those who enjoy a bit of 70s love and historical fiction mixed with mystery and intrigue. Join in, ask questions, and we welcome suggestions.
