• I know I’m asking for a lot … but I’m also offering a lot: signed copies of books before ‘Cats With 12 Lives is available to the public, restored game films on DVD, recognition of supporters in the book, space for your memories, get-togethers with the author. And, of course, my lifelong gratitude.
I’ve written thousands of newspaper/magazine/TV stories, as well as a book that sold more than 2,000 copies (Legal Lynching: The Sad Saga of the Groveland Four), and I’ve edited three other books. I have a first-rate copy editor and artist I’ll work with, I’ve conducted 90 percent of the interviews I deem necessary, and I’ve started writing. ‘Cats With 12 Lives will be published. Your pledge will ensure the book is as thorough and accurate as possible. You should have your copy of the book in your hands no later than April, probably sooner. I’m allowing plenty time to complete the book, including restoration of game films.
