Mail Bag! Errol Flynn Lounging on a Deck Chair?
16
Jul
In the mail bag we get this question from Linda Costa …
Hello there, Linda in Queensland here.
I am chasing a very specific image of our friend Errol. I have seen it on the web somewhere but cant for the life of me find it again.
It shows Errol lounging on a deck chair/ bed on a ship (not his boat), cigarette clamped in his teeth, possibly sunglasses on, with one of his wives also, on what I assume is on a liner crossing the Atlantic. He looks pretty dishy ….
If you can help I would be very grateful. I want to use this image for a presentation I will be making in Denmark next month.
Many thanks,
Linda Costa
ps it may have also been used in an article in The Australian Weekend magazine at about the time of the Centenary …..

Rusty Loftin sends this … for Rory Flynn!
Hi Rory. I just saw your Dad’s name mentioned in Carlsbad’s local tourist magazine. They were showing photos of old Carlsbad Beach resorts back in the day. The Royal Palms Carlsbad which later became Fidels Mexican restaurant which is now called El Norte, used to be frequented by such Hollywood illuminate as John Wayne and Errol Flynn during the Del Mar horse racing season. I thought you would appreciate the fact that your Dad is still fondly remembered down here …
Thanks, Rusty!

Author Thomas McNulty Rides Again!

Jul
Now and then we do Promos for our members who have provided great content on The Errol Flynn Blog, noted author Thomas McNulty is certain one of them …
He writes:
“Airship 27 Books have just released vol. 5 of their popular Bass Reeves anthologies. I have a 15k story in this one called “The Ballad of the Tumbleweed Outlaw” and I think it’s pretty good. Still available from the Airship on Amazon is vol. 3 of their Masked Rider series and I have a story in that one, too. Not to forget that Airship published my novel, “The Adventures of Captain Graves” which remains one of my best-selling titles. Next month, Linford Western Library in the UK will release my 6th Western for Hale/Crowood in large print, “Ambush at Skyline Ranch.” Suddenly I’m retroactively busy while I pound out a backlog for the year’s remainder. I have no clue when I’ll publish next so I’m just keeping busy. Anyway, I seldom promote myself so please log into Amazon and try BASS REEVES vol. 5 and then post a review. All the stories are great. I’m in good company here. Thank you!”
Thanks, Tom!
