Buy The Last Stage Today!
The books are back! The copies of The Last Stage I sent to Paris for a book signing that got lost in the French postal system have made their way back! This is good for Doors fans, The Last Stage fans, and readers of jymsbooks and readers in general!
The Last Stage follows the travails of Michael Gray who wants to be famous. The problem is, he doesn’t know how to achieve it. He doesn’t have a discernable talent. His only thin thread to fame is that he looks like Jim Morrison. With nothing left to lose he sidetracks a rock band by convincing them to start a Doors tribute with him as the lead singer. As their success grows, Michael’s ego and his sense of destiny grow out of control. You can read the first chapter of The Last Stage jymsbooks, as well as reviews (more reviews are available at Amazon).
This batch of The Last Stage were printed specifically for the 40th anniversary commemoration of Jim Morrison’s death in Paris, all the books made it to Paris, just not the book signing. Since the books were intended for a book signing, I’ve decided to have a virtual book signing! All books will be autographed by me with the endorsement that they’re part of the 40th anniversary printing. The price for U.S customers is $23.00, but includes the price of the book and all shipping and handling. Payment will be accepted through Paypal, check or money order.
Paypal orders can be sent to my paypal account through the email address jymwrite@aol.com, please don’t forget to include in the notes the address you would like the book to be sent to and any special endorsements you would like! To pay by check or money order send the above information to Jim Cherry, 520 Majestic Ln, Oswego, IL, 60543.
For international orders please email Jim at jymwrite@aol.com for international prices.
Supplies are limited so order your copy of The Last Stage today! Don’t forget to tell your friends about this great offer!!!!
