description:
When I was a young newspaper columnist and feature writer for the Sun Newspaper chain I had the honor of meeting and interviewing the living legend Clint Eastwood. It was when he was making all those Spaghetti Westerns and was a rising star. It was a memorable day in my life. I shared that anecdote with you but since it's now going to be in a book of celebrity interviews that I'm co-authoring with Chase Von, I had to remove it.
The new book, DREAM REACHERS, will be out in mid-2009. I'll keep you all posted.
DREAM REACHERS will feature my anecdotes about behind-the scenes when I interviewed Clint Eastwood, Jane Russell, Sen. Ted Kennedy and others. It will also feature interviews by Chase Von ... of new, upcoming entertainers (Darcy Donavan and Kiara Hunter, etc.), authors (including me and Chrissy McVay), and several artists.
This is a fun project and I can't wait to see it in print. I'll be sharing the tentative cover with you very soon.
Hugs - Betty Dravis

Hi, Cher,I'm just pleased that you are doing so much writing at TEXTNOVEL. Wow, you are prolific! I only left one comment because they only allowed one when I visited. Are you now allowing more?
Best of luck with all your writing projects, my friend.

P.S. And did you let all your friends know about my Florida air time?

Hey, Bettykins...I see that this "friend comment" spot is blank on my page, for some reason! Hint!
Just wanted to know if you got the book...Also, I got the Vine badge! Now I am confused as to the criteria for achieving that. Maybe it's a combination of things.
Hope you're having a great day.
Thanks for the add, Betty. I've found out where to post friend comments now. Your meeting and interview w/Clint Eastwood sound fascinating. Great stuff. Best for your books. I flagged 1106 Grand Boulevard to read. Sounds cool. I try to read at night, so it might be a while, but I get my reading done.

Hey Bettykins: I know that you don't belong to the Women's Fiction Group---probably most of your books are of a different genre. But I do belong, and took the liberty of adding your book "1106 Grand Boulevard" to our bookshelf.
Saints alive, Betty . . . I am dipping toes in marketing bubblegum now . . ought to be an interesting trudge for Stalking Irish Madness . . thanks for adding me and I look forward to enjoying The Toonies Invade Silicon Valley . . btw, in real life I once lived in the same apartment building as Clint's Secret Service officer in The Line of Fire. What a cool snap of you two up there. - Patrick
