Actually I think the link sinkingisland posted was for something else...I tried it and it just says sorry the page can't be completed. Maybe the link doesn't work for the US? The book is out of print so I would just use the link villers posted if you want to find Peters second book. You can get it through there for less than 3 dollars.
So sorry! It looks like I may have been Xanax posting after bedtime. The e-book was all I could find. It's available on iBooks and Kindle (United States). It was originally called, Freddie Mercury - The Afterlife. No offense to anyone else (or embarrassment to myself) intended. I messed up.
Hi Thor and Lee,
I hope you both had a wonderful Christmas! As New Year's Eve is coming up, I was wondering if you have any memories of celebrating with Freddie...like going to Times Square?

Hello all,
I am back from an outstanding, bright, warm and sunny Christmas in Palm Springs. I got to spend time with all of my three long-term
friends. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it so much that I've cancelled my New Years plans in San Diego and am returning to Palm Springs
tomorrow afternoon.
I spent a lot of time with Lee going through his photos and slides and I could not believe how many wonderful shots that I had completely
forgotten about. A whole bunch of never seen before pictures of Freddie, the friend, as opposed to Freddie, the Rockstar. He looks like
he is really enjoying himself in every shot! It's truly a treasure. Thank you Lee for meticulously preserving these gems.
So, that brings me to the good news and the bad news-
We have decided to go ahead with the book, overloaded with photos and written content!!!!!!
Lee has so little time available and we have made a deadline for ourselves of coordinating it's release with the upcoming Bohemian
Rhapsody movie. Therefore, due to the work involved in this project by two non-novelists, we feel we should end this thread.
I attracted Lee to this thread based on my description of how much fun and informative my old thread was. In these 37 pages, the
trolls and those that make "free speech" arguments in their defense is NOT FUN for him as I had promised.
What we would like to do, as an option, is accept PMs by our friends ..and YOU know who you are. No NEW PMs will be considered,
and any changed user names will not be considered.
I know that Shivili, Stop the Madness and pittrek will probably want to congratulate us on the upcoming book, but OH WELL.
Someone should make them look at ALL the photos of the book when it is available!!...LOL
So, thanks to the 94% of good minded people here and on the old thread. expressing their ideas civilly and thoughtfully. To the
haters and the nasty Freddie revisers., sorry, you will have to BUY the book to complain and bitch about it

P.S.
The new book will have many of the photos from the original slide show that Freddie requested us to bring to our farewell in London, in June of 1981.
It is no wonder that he loved this show so much that he requested it for our good-bye to him. No sadness, no regrets, just great memories of fun as
just one of the normal boys in our group of friends. AND, laughter, and more laughter so close to the end. God bless Lee's lighted fruit hat. There
is a GREAT picture of it coming soon to a bookstore near you...LOL

Hi Thor and Lee,
Well this has been an amazing ride....so grateful for all your time and energy over these months. I will enjoy rereading many of these posts and I am beyond EXCITED about your forthcoming book. I was keeping my fingers crossed you guys would attempt this project...So glad it is happening!
There is nothing I would enjoy more than getting in line at a bookstore someday, walking up to the table where you guys are sitting, and handing you your book that I just purchased saying "Hi, It's Rainbow 61... would you please sign this for me?" Okay...I most definitely would want to sneak in a big hug as well. :)
Best wishes to you both and a fond farewell!

Wonderful news about the book, Thor and Lee! I would like to pre-order now, lol. Seriously, I will be looking out for it and will be buying it.
I will be sad to see this thread close, but understand that change happens. It's crossed my mind that there may be some other medium online for talking as a group that will exclude trolls and haters....and where you can pop in when you feel like it, without any pressure to answer every question...but I personally don't know of what that could be. Just a thought though.
For now, so long...I may send a pm in the New Year to wish you both well and cheer you along with the book!
Best wishes for a great New Year celebration!

Rainbow61, SmokyQuartz,
You are definitely TWO of the friends for PMs that I mentioned, both for myself and Lee.
HaHa...is there such a thing as a NO HATER forum...I think not...LOL

Thor and Lee, thanks so much for the time and openness you shared here. It has been so much fun and I am grateful I found this thread when I did. I'm so excited about the book and I will definitely be buying a copy. It sounds like it is exactly the format I hoped it would be.
SmokyQuartz, as far as another medium online that could be exclusive, I know you can form invite only groups on FaceBook. I am in two, both political. I don't know how to create a closed group, and I don't know how many people here are on FB, but it might be worth thinking about. Hmmmmm though..........I don't know how we'd even locate each other because I use my real name on FB and only created Katydyd for QZ. I'd be open to any thoughts.
While I am disappointed to see this group end, I do understand. It has become my first stop when I am online, and I'm grateful for the friends I"ve made here.
Thor and Lee, you will be missed.

Good luck with the book guys! Like others, I'm sad that you're going, but as a writer myself, I know you have to kind of isolate yourself from social media a bit to get things done. It takes dedication and willpower to complete something like that. I hope my stuff is written by the time of the biopic too (it's kind of Freddie related as well!)
Don't be surprised if I message you sometimes though! I'm a really nosy person so I'd want to know how everything's going!

I was gonna say a private Facebook group would be a good idea too. I run a few, so if anyone needs advice making one...
Also you'd have full control to boot haters out

captainjory and Katydyd,
You both are another two I'd love to hear from every once in a while via PM for now, in order to stay in touch!
Thanks for all of your well wishes and kindness. Kindness is something Freddie really appreciated! I only wish
I could introduce you to him today.

So sad to see you guys go! I hope I'm on the list for PMs because I've still got questions and you know I love your answers! All the very best, Thor and Lee. We love ya!
LOL, I have a list of questions I was keeping so that I didn't overwhelm all at once. I got most of them in, but was working up to one in particular. I will miss these guys, but I know a book must take an enormous amount of time, so go for it. I hope you are feeling excitement over this new project and getting a small taste of how well it will be received.
