Bravo Tim!
Bravo Donna!
Bravo Bava!This past week,
Tim and Donna Lucas finished work at last on Tim's Mario Bava biography, and shipped it off to the printer.A hearty congrats to
Tim and
Donna!
Tim and I first met via our mutual love for
Mario Bava -- via a fan letter I addressed to him courtesy of
Fangoria, enthusiastically responding to
Tim's
Bava article in that zine -- and I instantly turned over all my
Bava files (such as they were) to him, grateful to know someone shared my obsession and was working on a book-length study of
Bava.
Tim's a much better writer than I was or will ever be, so it was a treat. I've been a long-distance cheerleader for
Tim's book ever since, though he's had much heavier-hitter cheerleaders and much more vital collections turned over to him.
It's taken
Tim well over two decades to see through his dream project, and he and
Donna have poured enormous amounts of blood, sweat, tears, energy and dollars into this venture.
See, dreams do come true...
More -- on this and more -- later this morning.
