September/October 2022

Here comes the sun…it’s autumn – despite the excessive heat.

I’ve been busy doing a myriad of interviews and podcasts for Top of the Mountain. The Chicago Beatlefest was fab; and I plan to attend the one in New Jersey March 31-April 2. There is no question: Beatle People are as nice as they come. I look forward to meeting more of them as well as some people I interviewed for my book. Now that will be awesome to ‘come together.’ I always announce my appearances and podcasts on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/lauriejacobson  And I post links to them there, on LinkedIn and Twitter. https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauriejacobson/   http://www.twitter.com/@lauriejacobson

Jon and I are currently updating his autobio: Timmy’s in the Well and will have it out for late fall. I have also regained the rights to my first two books, Hollywood Haunted and Hollywood Heartbreak, both of which have been out of print for some time. I am happy to say those too will soon be back in print. Everything old is new again. I’m excited about it all.

I’ll be in Boston at the High Lifestyle Show and Burbank at the Hollywood Show in October and at the Gallatin Comic Con outside of Nashville in November at a big Leave It to Beaver reunion: The Beav himself, Jerry Mathers, with several of the old gang including Veronica “Violet Rutherford” Cartwright and more. PLUS Jay North from Dennis the Menace and Jon Provost of Lassie! It a Golden Age of TV extravaganza.
I’ll be signing Top of the Mountain and TV Dinners, which, by the way, Jon, Jay, Jerry and Veronica are all in as well as the late, great Tony Dow. On Sunday night, after the show, there will be a Q&A in a theater with the gang which I will moderate. I am creating a montage of clips for it as we speak!

So, as you can see, I’m a bit overwhelmed this month.  When all that’s done, I can turn back to the future…and my next book!

More on that soon!

Peace and love and yeah, yeah, yeah!

August 2022

This is the month I’ve been waiting for: the 57th anniversary of The Beatles’ Shea Stadium concert and the release of my new book: TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN: THE BEATLES AT SHEA STADIUM 1965. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime story told through dozens of interviews and hundreds of never-before-seen photos. I worked on this for close to seven years and my publishers did me proud. It’s a beautiful hardback. I am “world premiering” it at the Chicago Beatlefest August 12-14. I am so excited to be attending. Come see me there, get a signed copy and attend my panel.

Too far? I’ll also have my book at the Hollywood Show in Burbank October 21 and 22, signing right next to my fab husband, JON PROVOST.
Still too far? You can get a signed copy directly from me! Just PM me and I’ll tell you how. And I’ll be doing lots of interviews and podcasts. Always check my Facebook page for announcements.
Peace and love and yeah, yeah, yeah!
