John Wilkes Booth was a star - the Errol Flynn of the 19th Century Shakespearean stage. Called the most handsome man in America, rich, dashing, and romantic, Booth was the favored son of a famous family, the darling of theatrical circles, a daring swashbuckler on-stage and off, the idol of hundreds of beautiful women. At age 26, he seemed to have it all. Nothing was beyond his reach. But behind Booth's dark good looks and flashing wit lurked a deadly obsession -- a burning hatred for the United States government and its president, Abraham Lincoln. On the night of April 14, 1865, Booth ignited a conspiracy to bring down that government - he became America's first terrorist, and altered America's destiny forever. Special Edition featuring an interview with the author, and the tribute piece "Pay Back."
Rick Boston is a former investigative reporter, novelist and screenwriter, rapidly approaching 50, who no longer writes. He spends his days drinking in a Hollywood dive bar, and his nights getting involved with younger women: Meredith, an auburn-haired beauty who might be on the run from dark forces, or who's maybe just plain crazy; Darcy, 30 year's Boston's junior, a talented screenwriter with Natalie Wood looks, a wispy voice, and the soul of a she-wolf; Madison, searching for her "maybe crazy" sister Meredith, enticing Boston into a bizarre adventure in Mexico. Then there's Carmen Delgado, who might be the love of Boston's life, if she and Boston can keep from wrecking each other... Written in the classic noir style, "I Only Wanna Be With You" is a poignant, witty, picaresque novel of lost souls searching for love in the crazy-quilt world of contemporary Los Angeles.
