Description:
I have been nominated for a Shorty Award. Since the competition is J. K. Rowling, among other famous authors, it's a long-shot, but I'm already in 16th place. I'm pleased if I end up in 16th, but a few more votes would ensure my keeping that placement should any below me make a last-minute dash... :-)
No matter how it ends, it's an honor to be nominated. I'd be delighted to have your vote. YOU MUST BE A TWITTERER TO VOTE: DEADLINE FEBRUARY 17TH. ONLY TWO DAYS LEFT TO VOTE.

Thanks, my friends. I appreciate it so much.

Sorry about removing my story of Clint Eastwood. New book to contain that story and other celebrity stories. (Biographies & Memoirs)
1 chapters
—
updated Mar 29, 2010 04:33pm
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

Betty Dravis is such a beautiful soul, and talented author, it would be a shame to miss out on this book. A recollection of where she got her start and her inspiration was given wings. A must read for those of us who are "real" people, down-to-ear...

Congratulations for getting 'Dream Reachers' out of your typewriter and into the world. You always get the projects you announce completed. Great!
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.
Hugs - Betty
P.S. And did you let all your friends know about my Florida air time?

You're welcome, Ilyn. I'm fine today. Working on a book of interviews I'm co-authoring with a friend. I'll let you know when it's published.Thanks for letting me know about those groups. I'll try to get around to them soon.
Hugs and all the best,
Betty
Hello Betty,How are you? Thank you for accepting my friend-request and for marking Reason Reigns to-read.
Please visit these groups when you have a chance: “Happy & Brainy Group” and “To the Glory of Man”.
Have a marvelous Sunday. Warmest regards.
Hi Betty and I joined this a while ago but didn't get back to build a profile till now:) Thanks for reminding me:)Love and light to you

Hello Betty, I also went to the grocery store yesterday. =) And book promoting as well. About as well as can be expected. Today promises to be okay, spending the day with my son. =)
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.Ed
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
