THE MARTIANS HAVE COME!

First and foremost, happy holidays and a safe and joyous Yule from me and the Watson!

This is a short and belated post to announce the publication of "But Still They Come" my book on the 1938 War of the Worlds broadcast.

I was glad to be able to do the reveal at the October meeting of The Red Headed League of NJ where I was also the keynote speaker.

The book can be obtained directly from my published, Galde Press.

And now, you can order it from Amazon. I found it highly amusing that I got an e-mail from Amazon, saying that they have a book to recommend, based on my interests:

Yup. My own book. Hope I enjoy it.

A happy part of working on this book was making new contacts and friends. One of these is artist Robert Hummel. He has now done three murals on the imagined battle of Grovers Mill. The first hangs in the Grover's Mill Coffee House

This was in honor of the 70th anniversary of the broadcast. 

Scene II was for the 75th, and is privately owned:

And now, Robert has completed the third in the series for the 80th anniversary:

Of course, Robert has pieces of wonderful art focused on the Princeton area and beyond...

                                  A Night on Nassau Street
                               

                                Guardian of Palmer Square

                            Einstein's Date With The Universe

There are even prints to be found in various local businesses, such as Chez Alice Gourmet Cafe & Bakery:

And there are many more!

Robert does have prints for sale. Check out his site at:

From all of us to all of you...

See ya next year!
