August 2024

All us Fab Four Fans know that this month marks the 59th anniversary of the Shea Stadium concert – the first rock and roll concert in a baseball stadium. The Beatles were the first at so many things.  Good time to relive that glorious day with: Top of the Mountain – The Beatles at Shea Stadium 1965.  You can get it from me personally signed (email me at lauriejacobson@juno.com) or order it from Amazon or B&N. Either way, you are going to love it.  HUNDREDS of photos, many never seen before, and stories I KNOW you haven’t heard.  Hey, I spent close to 7 years on this one and it has everything but the kitchen sink!  Makes a great gift!  Remember, all you need is love…and a little yeah, yeah, yeah!

I also reworked my most popular book: Hollywood Haunted. When originally printed, my publisher cut almost 100 pages, not for content, but for cost.  I got the rights back after 25+ years and added back the deleted chapters for a new and improved version: Hollywood Haunted: Authors Cut. As above, it is available online or from me personally.  Halloween is around the corner! Great gift!

Speaking of great gifts, don’t forget TV Dinners – 40 Classic TV Stars Dish Up Favorite Recipes with a Side of Memories. If you or someone you know is a fan of Classic TV of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, this is the book for you!

Working on my next one – a history of the Sunset Strip.  Been collecting info, photos and memorabilia for this one for close to 40 years (seems unbelievable) and I promise it will be a remarkable tome…definitive.

My husband – Jon Provost who played Timmy on Lassie – and I are real animal lovers…dogs especially.  Over the last year, we have developed a fantastic CBD spray to help alleviate anxiety, aggression, fearfulness and joint and arthritis pain called Spray, Mix ‘N Go!. Many of our customers have called the changes in their dogs and cats miraculous! We are thrilled with the great reviews. Helping pets to be happier is what we live for.

We are enjoying the summer, watching lots of Olympics and having a blast with our 3 grandchildren ages 9, 4 and 18 months.  We feel incredibly fortunate that they are all happy, healthy kids. 

Speaking of healthy, we are trying to stay that way, working out a couple of times a week, eating well, spending less time at the computer and more with friends and family.  We believe when our time comes to say farewell, we will not wish we’d spent more time working.  Words to live by.
