            Amazon.com

"Gazes unflinchingly at it's subject...The book to read! "  Nashville Tenneseean 

"... Done with great respect and humor and just enough down-and-dirty detail... 
Worth the price of admission ... Cline's life was a country song - 
laughing on the outside, crying on the inside."

                                                          
  
New York Daily News

“Patsy Cline is the undisputed queen of Hillbilly Heaven...
[Honky Tonk Angel] poignantly chronicles her journey from planet Earth 
all the way to the Pearly Gates...
A fascinating trip and a fascinating read.”

                                                                                                  Marty Stuart

"[The] painstaking interviews provide an insightful and
comprehensive look at one of country music’s pioneers...A good read.”

                                                                          Rocky Mountain News

"The book is one of the most compelling biographies...
Written with great skill and the cooperation of [Cline's] family and friends."

                                                         
Northern Echo (U.K.)

"(A)  memorable biography of one of country music's most enduring legends."
                                                                   
Publishers Weekly

"A revealing and absorbing book."  Liz Smith

"A warts and all look at Patsy Cline's turbulent career...
The book is absorbing...superlative biography."

                                                                Daily Post (U.K.)

"This thoroughly researched book manages to capture the raw
elements that went into making Cline the entertainer she was -
and to his credit, Nassour doesn't try to paint her over in shades of gold...
it provides insight into a woman who was certainly one of the most unusual 
and talented performers to come out of country music in any decade...
"

                                                                        Billboard     

"No Patsy Cline fan on this planet does not own Ellis Nassour's biography. 
It was the first and will always be considered THE definitive biography 
about her long after we are all gone, and it's one of the prime reasons Patsy's 
legacy will continue...Truth will always win out. Patsy's music will live forever,
but new fans who hear her will always seek out more information about her. 
We have Ellis to thank for providing it."

In Memoriam

Carrie Lee McNeil,

Vancouver, Canada
1961 - 2008
Carrie Lee and I began corresponding on publication of my first Patsy bio.  She was the ultimate Patsy fan, and  special  is so many ways.
God bless her determination and spunk.  She did much, in spite of many obstacles because of a lifetime of illnesses
to tirelessly promote country music and the legacy of Patsy Cline. No one could ask for a more valued and true friend.
