Land of Bliss and Shadow

They will be $46 + $8.20 shipping and handling. Thanks everyone for your interest and patience!

This wonderful event occurred July 31 - August 2 at the Westin Los Angeles Airport hotel and boasted over 800 attendees. I presented her greeting to the gathering, which included Ivy's sister Liz Tomashoff, at the beginning of my Q&A session. The session was moderated by Danielle Gelehrter of Penny Dreadful's Terror at Collinwood podcast fame.  For a recording of the 30 minute session where you can learn more about Sy Tomashoff and my book about his career, visit Guy Haines' Belleroguy YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRFmQ5j1Tbw. Guy has also posted several other sessions from the Celebration on his YouTube channel. I am so honored that I got to know Liz and Ivy a bit, and that they took the time to talk to me about their talented and wonderful father. Here is Ivy's greeting and generous praise for my book ...
