Funny, Denise called me today to pick up her book. I pre order the book about 3 years ago but I been in contact with her since I live in the same town. She left a voice message on my cell where to pick up the book and a new number to call her. I have her cell number but have not used in in over a year. Will update later to let ya know whats going on. Looks like she moved to a new address.

I pre-ordered mine awhile ago as well. Heck it has to be at least 3 years, maybe. I wonder if I will get my copy. Because I sure the heck aint paying for it again.

I really hope her book is good and well written because if any of you read Herion Diaries you would know that she likes to write in Riddles with a lot of metaphors and i can't stand reading stuff like that.

I talked to Denise earlier and told me to meet up with her Sunday after a church here in Fremont, Ca to pick up her book. She sounded very excited and happy to finally have this book ready.Will report back and maybe posts some pics of the book when I pick it up.

What about the folk who paid for the book, which included shipping? When/if you see her, ask her about that.

Ok, I just got back from talking to Denise. YES, the book is ready and its pretty nice too. Its says limited edition on the back and it has about 120 pages and pictures scattered throughout the book.She will autograph it to you personally also. As for reading it, I have not done so yet. It seems easy to read with expected religion overtones. Saw one page where she mentions she went to the American music awards with Prince and he was telling everyone that Vanity was his wife.

As for people who PRE ORDER the book, PLEASE SEND A EMAIL TO Denise@ DENISEMATTHEWS.com so she can vertify your mailing address as she understands some changes of addresses may occurred during the last 3 years. She wants to be sure that the book arrives at the correct and current address as the book is ready to ship out.

Thats all I got for now. As for pictures of the book, will look for my camera to post some.

Hope this helped.

"CAMERAS WERE HOVERING ABOUT, HONING IN, INTERROGATING FOR IMPRESSIVE SUBJECT MATERIAL. I, SOMEWHAT CONFUSED - MUCH LIKE THE GREAT FALL OF BABYLON - FROM THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC BOMBASTIC EXPLOSIAN OF QUESTIONS ON MY RIGHT, BUT I RECALL ONLY ONE THAT MATTERED? WHO IS THE LOVELY LADY PRINCE?

True enough its damn near kryptic, but I understand it, she gets her point across. I'm about to order her book. I'm tripping, Prince had just met her and referred to her as his wife. That just shows you how mesmerized he was by her................

Denise is looking good. she is a little skinny but she says she was at 90 pounds when she was in the hospital last year. She is full of energy though and very positive towards life.
