The revised and expanded edition of my Howard Hughes biography was released March 11th. The title is Howard Hughes: Power, Paranoia, and Palace Intrigue. The publisher is University of Nevada Press.

I am proud of the book, which is longer and better than the first edition, which was published by Stephens Press in 2008. I added 29,000 words, and improved and updated the original 100,000.

Obviously this is a difficult time to promote the book. But I’ve been doing some great radio interviews. Most notably, I recently had the opportunity to talk about the book for two hours on “Coast to Coast AM,” which has a massive audience across North America. (Thank you to longtime friend and colleague George Knapp, who hosts the show once a month, for inviting me.)

Hughes was a fascinating character, and his story still resonates today on several fronts. I hope those who get and read the book enjoy it.
