Why I Wrote My Children’s Book, The Thanksgiving Dinner Platter When we meet other cultures and beliefs ideally we would realize that we are quite similar despite our differences, we have similar aspirations and experience joys and pains in a basically similar fashion. Sadly, sometimes differences trigger conflicts and fear and parents without knowing it […]

In today’s hurried society, taking a moment to thank someone for their friendship is special and deserving a shout out. It’s really cool for William Shatner to take time and pen “Leonard, My Fifty-Year Friendship With A Remarkable Man.” Shatner was very kind to me when I was a rookie journalist and I will never forget that!
I’m sure Shatner’s recollections will be of interest to everyone and not just Star Trek fans as they’re peppered with wit and humor. Nimoy was a complex man and talent but seems to be mainly remembered as Mr. Spock. He was a seasoned actor, a noted film director and an accomplished photographer. It’s not surprising that Nimoy called both his autobiographies, I Am Not Spock to try and shed a light on the other aspects of his life. But, like in 1988 when an asteroid was named 4864 Nimoy in his honor, hopefully this book will pay a tribute to the Man behind Mr. Spock not just the actor!
Despite what was written and said about Shatner and Nimoy and their friendships or feuds, this book is a beautiful tribute! And, it’s refreshing for one of them to thank and appreciate the other. They are both legends of film and television, and it’s wonderful for such a positive imprint to be left in publishing. There are no misunderstandings to be had, the title says it all! It’s about the fifty year friendship of a remarkable man!
And, here’s wishing for “Leonard” to climb to bestseller!
