For the past decade, I have made it my mission to tell Elvis Presley’s true story in spite of all the rumors and myths floating around. So, what drew me to Elvis in the first place?
Aside from the obvious – that he had a million (make that a billion) dollars worth of talent, Elvis was the quintessential rags to riches story. Presley came from nothing, but he lived the American dream. Elvis worked hard and he played hard, and he tried to squeeze the most out of life that he could.
I am constantly fascinated with how Elvis handled his wealth and fame, what he did with his money, how he interacted with his fans, his personal relationships, and how he evolved as a person.
When I published my first book, ELVIS: Behind the Legend, in 2015, I had no idea I would be able to write a total of 4 Elvis books in 8 years! I'm planning to write more - stay tuned...

Very interesting!
I chose this rating because of the amount of work it took to put all of the facts together. It was a very impressive and interesting read.

This book provided me with more information on the Beatles meeting with Elvis and that they continued to interact until his death in 1977.
