Great news. I’ve just received Kathy’s additions to the manuscript, so I’m now back to work finalizing the project.
Only a few more steps and the book on Kathy and her days before, during and after Elvis will become a reality.
Be sure and follow us on Twitter http://twitter.com/JuneandKathys for updates as we near completion of the book.
Don’t worry, we’ll also keep you up-to-date on here.

Kathy wanted me to remind everyone to send their donations to Haiti, no matter how small they are. They can use every penny.
The GMA website listed below has a large selection of places to send donations and ways you can help.

It was in August of 2005, that Kathy’s widowed mother Connie married Pete Perry in the nursing home where they met. The local newspaper even sent a reporter and photographer for a special article on the wedding. Kathy sang at the wedding naturally.
The couple didn’t have long together however, as Kathy sadly lost her mother on July 22, 2009 from cardiac arrest.
I’m also sorry to say, that Pete passed away this week during a bout with pneumonia. Pete was in his late 90’s.
This is interesting to say the least. A used autographed copy Kathy's book "Elvis and Kathy" is now on Amazon for a whopping $2,500.
A lot of you have been asking about the book I’m writing on Kathy.
Just to give you a little insight into what it’s about. The book covers Kathy’s life before, during and after her seven years with Elvis. All three stages of her life have been fascinating to say the least. Not only have I written of my personal experiences of working closely with her for the last ten years, but theres also lots of surprises.
One of the most exciting parts of the book is how I was able to obtain several chapters contributed by others along the way. It includes chapters and stories from friends from her high school days, as well as ones from friends from her comedy duo adventures with Steve Martin, as well as several chapters that were contributed by some of the people that worked closely with Kathy and Elvis both on and off stage in the 70's.
The best part of course, is that a lot of the stories in the book are in Kathy’s own words, as no one can tell a story like she can.
As the book is now nearing completion, I’ll keep you updated right here on Kathy and I’s blog so stay tuned. This should prove to be a very exciting adventure.
