Anderson Cooper

Hurricane Katrina made Anderson Cooper a superstar. As an "Emojounalist," passionate feelings hanging on his sleeve for all to see, Anderson waded in and confronted everyone, including, at times, his own feelings about what was happening.

In Hurricane Boy I have a silver-haired journalist who is supposed to be a salute to Anderson Cooper. Harry Hathaway. Like Anderson often does, Harry gets injured in the line of duty.

  1. You failed to mention how Harry gets injured in the line of duty.

  3. What's the name of the book about Harry Harrison and where can I get a copy of it? I'd love to read it.

    I posted a link on my Anderson Cooper blog "Thoroughly Anderson Cooper" at http://thoroughlyandersoncooper.blogspot.com/ . I will link it again when I get more information about the book, especially where to get it. I am sure my readers will be interested in it too.

  4. Well that will be difficult because it hasn't been published yet. Or maybe ever. It's my book, Hurricane Boy. I've sent it places but so far, no go. But I promise if it ever sells, I will let you know so fast you won't know what hit you.

  5. Peter, just went to your blog. Nice. I love Anderson too. Thanks for putting me up there. Since the book does not currently exist, I'll understand if you take me down until I have good news. Thanks for visiting.
