Dinah is Back!

Last week, wife Sandy and I decided that we are going to clean out and then get rid of our storage space. It will probably take a couple of months to do that, because we have to bring boxes home, sort through them, and then figure a way to incorporate the stuff we want to keep into our house without creating clutter.
So, we brought a half dozen boxes home on Wednesday and in doing so, I really screwed up my back so badly that, on Thursday night, I thought I might be having heart problems. Sandy took me to the hospital emergency room where we spent a few hours. Thankfully, my heart appears to be okay...but I do have an appointment with my cardiologist in about a week.
In any event, while going though the boxes we brought home, I came across my old manuscript of the Dinah Shore biography I wrote back in the late 1970s. I'm currently reading it and, if I do say so myself, it's pretty good. It does need some updating, since Ms. Shore died in 1994, but it's otherwise fine.
I contacted my publisher (BearManor Media), and they want to publish it. I'm sure it will be a year or more before it's out, because I do have to do the updating and there are already a few things on my plate that have to be finished first. But, at least, this unfinished project will finally see the light of day.
Those of you who read my memoir, MY FORTY-FIVE YEARS IN HOLLYWOOD...AND HOW I ESCAPED ALIVE, will, hopefully, recall the sad story about why my Dinah Shore biography was not published back when it was first written.
There are two new reviews posted on the Best Bets on DVD site, accessible via the Introduction section of this page. One of them is THE WALKING DEAD, Season Three, and the other is a film, entitled PAWN SHOP CHRONICLES... so please take a look.
Other projects are in the works, but as I said in previous postings, I can't talk about them yet.
You have a creative week.
Michael
