About the author:

Like millions of first-generation Rock & Roll teens, Sandi Haynes Pichon, Author, Columnist & President of TCB ELVIS STYLE Fan Club in Louisiana, was Raised on ELVIS! ELVIS! ELVIS! In between the time she sat with him on his motorcycle at his Audubon Drive home until the day she stood weeping by his coffin inside Graceland, Sandi was front row and center for Elvis concerts all over the country. As a pre-teen in Memphis, she was there to witness a regional attraction which become a national obsession; she devoted years of her adult life to being part of his global audience, and has since dedicated herself to charities that pay homage to his iconic memory.

Through several chance meetings with Elvis himself and friendships with his inner circle Sandi was close enough to feel for the wonderful man that was living in the shadow of his awesome reputation. They exchanged gifts and kisses across the footlights and she was invited to the parties after the shows and even to Graceland Mansion. "I was so fortunate to have been able to have such meaningful contact with the most beloved entertainer ever," Sandi relates. "I always knew that I was there for the millions who wished they were, so this story belongs to all the fans, who have loved him, turned their rooms into shrines to him, and stood by him for all these years." So now enjoy this pictorial novella of a time and place where a man changed the world one heart at a time.

I have just finished my book by Sandi and I have to say, I was so delighted to read it. I was so sad to see the book end. It made me, a fan or 30 years that was only 8 when he died, feel like I had walked this journey with her. The book makes alot of things come to life for me. If any of you are die hard Elvis fans, you will get so much from this book. Through a fans eyes, you will feel like you are right there. You will laugh and cry all at the same time. This book was written with so much life and passion. You can feel it in every page. I would recommend this book to anyone that is an Elvis fan. You sure did an awesome job on this Sandi. Thanks to you from the bottom of my heart for letting us fans share your memories, that I know are so dear to your heart. Elvis would be proud. Dora Malone
