  1. Yes. That's right. Amazon will ship anywhere. Lots of folks are buying this in the USA already and getting shipped over. Enjoy.
  2. Hi....I hope you don't mind hearing from me. My name is Bill Jones. I'm the author of ALONE - THE TRIUMPH AND TRAGEDY OF JOHN CURRY. I'm truly delighted (as he would have been) that members of the dance community have heard about the book. As you know, from the age of 7, all he wanted to do was dance. But for his father's intransigence he would have pursued his passion for ballet. Ice skating, and his brilliant subversion of an entire sport, was an act of revenge against that childhood slight. Work on the book has taken me three years, and I've spoken to well over 100 people to draw together the strands of his deeply complex personality, and his brilliant, creative life. Hopefully the result will inspire people, but it will sadden them too, as John's journey is a lonely, often unhappy one....from the fear of his own teenage sexuality to his death of AIDS, aged just 44, in 1994. Thankfully, I'm already getting some fantastic reviews (The Sunday T iMessage especially) but that only matters if people read it and remind themselves how original an innovative he actually was. All the very best. Bill Jones, North Yorkshire, England. PS The book is published in the USA in January 2015.
