Are You Lonesome Tonight?
A woman's epic tale of her secret love affair with Elvis Presley
and the daughter she never revealed. This expansive account offers
an intimate portrayal of Elvis dating from before he was famous
to the day he died. The book was extremely controversial when
it was released in 1987. Some questioned its authenticity. However,
it has stood the test of time and has been subsequently verified
by famed handwriting expert Charles Hamilton, among others. The
story itself makes it clear how such a deeply personal relationship
could have been hidden from Elvis' closest associates.  |

Taming The Beast
Taking up where Helter Skelter left off, Taming the Beast
chronicles the prison years of infamous 1960s cult-leader Charles
Manson. Charlie's notorious family is alive and well, while Charlie
himself has continued to raise hell despite his incarceration.
My co-author in this project, Ed George, was the corrections
administrator in charge of Manson for nearly two decades. It's
interesting to see how the diminutive, master manipulator gets
inside Ed's head and nearly destroys his life. |

It would have been easy to think only of myself
and run to Elvis. I wanted to, but I couldn't. There were too
many people who would have been hurt. He was so trusting. Those
who betrayed him injured him more deeply than anyone knew. I
played my part. I hid a secret that nearly destroyed us both.

My entire body was powering up for a fight
to the death. And that was my problem. Instead of banding together
and going out in a blaze of gunfire, I knew that Dad would want
us to walk into that room at our scheduled times like lambs to
the slaughter and passively accept whatever fate the Mob decreed.
