I will be at the August 10 performance of “The Diva and the Baritone” at 7 pm. (See below for details.) Hallie and Ted are singing, will include Jeanette and Nelson in the show and also give me a shout-out.  I’ve been asked to bring some books along for signing, so if you will be in New York City next week and want to join me, please do! (In fact, if you make a reservation, please email me and let me know so we can arrange to sit together.) Their show is wonderful and last time they performed it several people approached me afterwards who had a personal Jeanette or Nelson connection. In fact, the father of their accompanist is a well-known actor and a huge Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy fan. You never know what interesting people you will meet at a show like this…and of course, the music is beautifully sung. See you there!

My thanks to all of you for your support…and please continue to keep it on the Best Seller list. Tell your friends, “Like” the book on Facebook, etc. What a thrill to see Nelson’s name on a Best Seller list again! 🙂

Nelson Eddy: The Opera Years just released on Kindle!

0 Comments

This book was our first to be released online in softcover back in 2001. Now Nelson Eddy: The Opera Years has another first – our very first Kindle book!

You can download it instantly from Amazon.com at this link.

Our other books will one-by-one also be released as e-books but this process will take a few months. (Sweethearts, in particular, may not be out until the end of the year.) I will keep you posted.

Nelson Eddy: The Opera Years can also be read on your iPhone or iPad as long as you download the free Kindle app. There are also free Kindle apps for Blackberrys, Android phones and tablets. You can even download a free Kindle reader for your computer! Here is the link for all the available readers. Some of the benefits are that you can read your Kindle books on all your devices plus you can enlarge the text size to your liking.

If you have been thinking about getting an e-reader, I recommend the Kindle Fire since it has a large screen, shows full color and has many more features. At this link you can see all the available Kindles and learn more about them. One great feature is that if you’re signed up for Amazon’s Prime Shipping, they have a Kindle lending library and you can borrow Nelson Eddy: The Opera Years for free along with thousands of other books like the entire Harry Potter series.

Take advantage of the special introductory price.You can also purchase it as a gift for someone.  We would like to see it on the Amazon Best Seller list so spread the word!
