Las Vegas, Nevada- June 16, 2008– WINE WALK at Lake Las Vegas was a reasonable success. The heat was 105 in the shade. The Candlelighters’ Childhood Cancer Foundation was doing a brisk business in tickets to taste over twenty-five wines from around the world. You can drink as long as you can walk, seemed to be the motto.
My author signing area was close to the registration area so many folks were able to add some literature (Artist’s Proof) to their bag of goodies, for a donation of $25.00
Several of the attendees had already purchased the book and a couple of folks asked some interesting questions… I will answer here. (without giving it all away).
Q. Who would play the part of DJ Singer if it were a movie?
A. I’d like to think Debra Winger or Sandra Bullock be interested.
Q. Are ALL the artists’ in the book real?
A. No. The obvious names; Dali, Picasso, Miro’ are real. Fleming is a composite. In the story of Artist’s Proof, the portrayal of his life is a compilation of the real life experiences of many of the most famous artists.
Q. Have you been to all the places depicted in the book?
A. Yes. Capri, Rome and Naples in Italy. Mexico. New York City, and the midwestern states of America.
