Fans:
"Looking at these clips (Judy on the web)
inspired me to re-read your book Heartbreaker
for what must be the 20th time! I'm always struck by how accurately
you convey Judy's speech pattern and nuances. I can hear Judy Garland
speaking the words on the pages you've written..."
~ Ron Hayes, CA
"I have to purchase your book when it gets
re-issued this Spring!!! I was wondering where I could purchase
sheet music to songs like It's All For
You and After the Holidays; I have fallen in love with this
song so much, you have no idea."
~ Brett Boyd
"I have several copies and have read the
book probably 15 times. It's one of the best Garland books I have
ever read. The day-by-day diary style of writing is perfect. She
died many years before I was even born but I have read everything
about her. I know the song I'd Like to
Hate Myself in the Morning but I have never heard her sing
it. Again, thanks for writing my favorite book".
~ Jacob G.
"Hi there -I just wanted you to know what
a fascinating read I found your book to be. I read it several years
ago and was pleased to find out it is being re-issued. One can actually
hear Judy talking thanks to your writing style. I'd love to do a
review of the book. Do you know if it will be for sale in Canada?
What an amazing time that must have been for you."
~ Darren Stewart-Jones Toronto, Canada
Dear Mr. Meyer, Here's a fan letter from
me to you! I love your book, Heartbreaker.
I read it about once a year, and I find it to be one of the best
simply because it's a look into REALITY with Judy Garland from someone
who actually was there. I love it because of the personal insights
into her life --the juice she drank (grapefruit and cranberry, alas,
with vodka) the perfume, the missing eyeliner in the kitchen, little
heart pillbox, etc... the little things that one normally never
gets to read about her. Your book is quite unique I believe. It's
just fascinating. It definitely is among the coolest books about
her!"
~ Sarah Sternberg
Dear Mr. Meyer, my name is Janey and I'm
23 years old. I recently completed reading your book, Heartbreaker,
for the fourth time since July of this past year. Each time I finished
it I've intended to write you and tell you how much I've enjoyed
it. Because of your book I discovered the legendary Judy Garland
and am completely fascinated and intrigued by, not only her enormous
talent, but Judy herself. I have never read a biography that seems
to introduce its reader so personally to the subject like Heartbreaker
does. The candid style and emotion with which you wrote of your
experiences with Judy is very touching, and through the vivid details
you describe I feel as if I've been introduced to you both. I am
planning a vacation to New York in June, and I hope to visit some
of the various locations that you mention in your book, so the details
you describe have helped me a great deal in my planning. Thank you
for taking the time to read my letter."

"My favorite biography of her to date.
Very honest, very warm, and maybe the most human and sympathetic.
Beautifully written."
~ Jeff P.
"It was a great book. You are a wonderful
writer. Much thanks."
~ Tom S.
"Too much bad language. Why would you print
that about her?"
~ Edna P.
