Earnie Shavers Message in a Bottle
Here is a Message in a Bottle from Earnie Shavers, boxing legend who will be interviewed in an upcoming Legends and Legacies. I met him at the doorway of the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame Awards at the Crowne Plaza LAX, where he, Alfred Urquidez, Martial Arts great Conan Lee and little old me were inducted. The first three were obviously being honored for their martial skills, and I received the Author of the Year award as I signed copies of The Five Principles of Everything, Shidoshi:The Four Ways of the Corpse and The Panda Chronicles alongside Mr. Shavers, prior to the ceremony. A full report will follow soon. For now, here is Mr. Shavers' Message...

If you are in the Los Angeles International Airport area this weekend, drop by the Crown Plaza Hotel. I will be at the USA Martial Arts Expo, signing my latest book (Saturday the 28th), The Five Principles of Everything (along with my previous two novels, Shidoshi:The Four Ways of the Corpse and The Panda Chronicles). Alfred Urquidez and my wife Barbara will be joining me to sign The Five Principles, while Rico Rose (the Panda himself) will be on hand to co-sign that book. I'll be there from around noon until the Hall of Fame Induction Banquet begins at 6:30 p.m. I then will be getting inducted into my third Hall of Fame, along with my martial arts brother, Alfred Urquidez. If you want to attend the banquet, you are welcome, but remember it is a black tie only affair and the cost is $70.
