MY WEB SITE: MARC ELIOT.NET. SEND ME AN EMAIL IF YOU WANT TO CHAT ABOUT ANY OF MY BOOKS, APPEARANCES, OF IF YOU WANT TO BUY PERSONALLY AUTOGRAPHED COPIES OF ANY BOOKS I STILL HAVE LEFT.

SONG OF BROOKLYN is out! I'll be doing several signings in the New York Area, beginning June 17th at the Book Court, 163 Court Street, in Brooklyn, beginning at 7 P.M. Mickey Freeman and Kenny Vance will be with me! Hope to see you there. In a sentence, it is an oral history of Brooklyn, with voices famous and unknown combining in a way that I think you'll find quite entertaining as well as informative. Great fun to write. Thanks to a lot of people, but especially Kenny Vance, Don K. Reed, Mickey Freeman, Zack Norman, Maria Bartiromo, Stephon Marbury, PETE HAMILL, Mel Brooks and so many others...too many to name but all great for being a part of this many-years-in-the-making tome. TRY TO MAKE IT TO COURT STREET TO SAY HI! I WILL SIGN OTHER BOOKS OF MINE FOR THIS OCCASION.

The lecture I gave at the Greenwich Classic Film festival was a big success. I think we sold all but two of the books we had on hand for autographing. I'll be making a return visit this fall, some time in November, after my new biography, "Ronald Reagan: The Hollywood Years," comes out. Publication date is September 10 and the pre-pub first edition print run has already tripled! If you're in the area, come on by and say hi at the Festival.


"Jimmy Stewart" came out in paperback, Sepember 25, 2007.

I'm headed off to China for a few weeks this spring to spend my birthday in Shanghai and Shangri-La, and hopefully, Nepal. I have great friends in China and always feel safe and at home there. Go if you can and you'll be surprised to learn it's a lot different than what your preconceived notions tell you. When I return I will be ready for the big summer push for "Brooklyn" and the fall "Reagan" Reagan and deep into my next biography, which I'll tell you about soon.

Also, two new foreign editions of Cary Grant have been published: Spain and Czekoslovakia.

"To The Limit" went back to press for yet another run, at Da Capo. My biography of the Eagles has now been in print for ten years running.

"Walt Disney: Hollywood's Dark Prince" has just been published in Poland in a brand-new Polish translation. This has a very special personal meaning for me, as part of my mother's ancestry was Polish (and Russian; Odessa to be exact).

Last fall I did an introduction to the highly anticipated Lance Bass memoir, "Out of Sync." It was fun working with Lance and experiencing a little of that *'NSYNC pop mystique up close. That book came out October 23.

And please feel free to send me an email even if you'd just like to say hello.

My new Jimmy Stewart biography was published October 10, 2006. Included in it are some never-before-seen photos given to me by Jimmy's daughter, who was incredibly helpful in the preparation of the work. It has just gone into its 5th paperback printing.

The paperback edition of Cary Grant released by Random House (Three Rivers Press) in September 2005 is now in its 5th paperback printing.

James Brown's album with the Dee Felice Trio was rereleased, on Verve. Brand-new and extensive liner notes are by me.

I had the privilege of participating in Columbia Pictures DVD rerelease of several Cary Grant movies (along with Andrew Sarris and Molly Haskell). This box-set will include a separate DVD with the three of us and possibly others talking about Grant and his films. "Cary Grant" is also available on audio CD or cassettes, with me doing the reading.


You can hear me on a semi-regular basis (when I'm not feuding with everyone on the show, usually over my position on the war and other things), on" Joey Reynolds" overnights on WOR-AM out of New York City and syndicated. It is also available on the Internet via stream. I tend to pop in occasionally and stay all night. It's live and I like that a lot. Thanks to all for your loyal and continued support.
