“Outliving Flynn” – The title story tells a lot about the life of Errol Flynn, and contrasts his experiences with those of Martin Stevens, a character who looks life Flynn but lacks his talent and charisma.
For a revised edition of the story, now called “Fallen Star,” please click here
Incidentally, I also recently visited Flynn’s grave at Forest Lawn, where I’d attended an art exhibition. See “Flowers for Errol Flynn”….

And I have no desire to view it! I don't want it posted on this blog, for that matter… I have never made this kind of statement but feel strongly that I want always to think of Errol in life and not see his dead face or body posted here. I hope you will all agree with me. I hope I never see any of these photos in my entire life…

Dennis Mullen, our “Man in Jamaica” has a rare item up for auction on ebay: a genuine piece of tile from Errol Flynn's famed Titchfield Hotel pool! This is one of three pools at the old hotel ruins – now on private property used mainly by the Jamaican Army. It is a guarded area so not easily accessed and certainly not without permission! But Dennis enjoyed a two hour tour and was invited back again to have have a rum and coke at the swim up bar, too! Like Flynn, Dennis Mullen has a bit of charm going for him, to say the least!

‘YA GOTTA HAVE A PENCIL THIN
MUSTACHE’!
Well…it’s not exactly mandatory for admittance, but
if you guys really want to get in the spirit of the evening, try growing a
Errol Flynn style pencil thin mustache between now and Dec. 17 when the
Christmas Ball rolls around. If you show up without one, we’ll even be
able to provide a temporary one. Or… as the Jimmy Buffet song goes:
“Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby
If I only had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could do some cruisin' too”
THREE WEEKS TO GO UNTIL THE BALL
Yes, it’s time to get your act in gear and plan to be
with us in Port Antonio Saturday night, Dec 17. We’ll plan to have the whole
“nine yards”, i.e. perfect night, great scenery, fantastic dance music, lots of
camaraderie, Ken Wright Pier aglow with thousands of tiny white lights,
everybody duded up in their holiday best and the moon in it’s final
phase. Also, if you’ve been waiting for pay day to buy tickets, there’s
no more excuses beyond today. Tickets are $3,000.00 in advance and
$3,500.00 if you wait to pay at the door. If you’re in Kingston, swing by
Stewart’s Automotive Center at 5 Orchard Road for tickets. In Port
Antonio, visit the Errol Flynn Marina which is open every day. Got a question?
