While I myself am a new fan of fan fiction, my book is not in this category.

My adventures in this book are from true happenings back in 1964 as I lusted after George Harrison (in my own innocent way) and did my best to meet him -- which eventually I did, after a really crazy set of circumstances.

So... Dear Sir or Madam, will you read my book?

(even if it isn't Fan Fiction?)

Hey Judy!

I've just returned from Beatle Week in Liverpool, (among other places!), and I thought you'd appreciate hearing this.... While standing outside the Adelphi Hotel, this guy named Glen, who is the spitting-image of George, was asked by a fan to pose for a pic "reading" your book, "A Date With a Beatle"! Glen commented that he hadn't yet read the book, so I told him he should - that he'd enjoy it. Anyway....noticing he was using a digital camera, I was going to ask the guy taking the pic for a copy to send you, but when I turned back, he'd completely disappeared! I am including the link to Glen's MySpace page in the event the pic turns up, (or maybe you can even make a request there - I've a feeling the guy was a fan of Glen's). Glen advertises himself as a George tribute artist and look-a-like, so I'm not giving away any personal info. It's Glen Knowles . So, "George" was photographed reading your book! Isn't that great?!!!

Good news, Judy - the photo is on the site! I don't want to copy the image here as it isn't mine to do so with, but you can check it out at Glen's site!

Judy!

WOW!!!!! And wait til you hear this!

I was asked to have a book signing that will benefit the Lupus Trust (Julian Lennon is a patron) at St. Thomas' Hospital at their WH Smith's store in London on August 25th! AND... George look-a-like Glen Knowler is going to be there at the signing!!!!
Also.... all copies sold anywhere in the world that day (of A Date with a Beatle) will benefit the Lupus Trust!

That is just wonderful!

I just got your book and read it at home in one sitting (I normally only read on my work lunch hour). I couldn't put it down! How clever you were to write all those hotels! (and the part with the ladies of the evening made me laugh out loud!)
and of course I can't talk to much more about it for fear I'd give the big climax away to someone who hasn't seen it yet!

Who could forget Judy's lawyers, Over & Dunwith? How can you not love the names? A more resourceful fan could not be found. George was a very lucky Beatle to be so well loved.

I was overjoyed to get the reception I did in Liverpool!
And all because of my crazy teenage years, a good memory, well-tended diaries, and many friends who reminded me of some things I'd rather forget. :) Bill Heckle, who owns The Cavern and runs the festival invited me back in 2012!!!! AND... the book is being released in German this week - "Eine Nacht mit George Harrison" ... This is just soooooooo cool. Again, because of The Beatles ... I'm still a lucky kid! :) :) :) :) xoxoxox.... Judy

That is BEYOND coooool....I'll do a review of "A Night With George Harrison" in German on the German Amazon.de!

Hi Judith,

I just wanted to say I got your book at Beatleweek in Liverpool this year too - thanks for signing it for me! I think the little literary festival thingie they had was really good. Hope they carry it on. Are you thinking of writing any more books?
