Body = This exciting adventure yarn blends teenage restlessness
with cowboy thrills while paying tribute to the Western stars and
movie sets of the late 1950's. “The Kid”—a 20th
Century lad with a stubborn wish that he’d been born a 19th
Century
gunfighter, and his faithful companion—an eccentric Indian
called “Indian,” embark on a heart-stirring odyssey
that takes them from John Wayne’s set of "The Alamo"
in Texas, to Opening Day at the Old Tucson Western Movie-Set Amusement
Park in Arizona. Their rowdy escapades eventually lead them to California’s
celebrated Corriganville Movie Ranch—the Universal Studios
Tour of its day. It is there where The Kid quickly learns the ropes
by testing both his love and his courage. Acting out famous historical
gunfights for the throngs of paying tourists brings The Kid closer
to his dream—and to death. "Nickel-Plated Dream"
is loosely based upon the author’s humorous and youthful recollections
of 1959 when he was a 16-year-old gunfighter-stuntman at the then-world-famous
Corriganville Movie Ranch Attraction near Hollywood. "Nickel-Plated
Dream," to be published by Behler Publications of Lake Forest,
California, will be available before year’s end, at your favorite
bookstore.
