Introduction: Alanna Nash needs no introduction to Elvis fans! Already with three critically acclaimed books about Elvis published and her fourth to be released next month, Alanna's name is one of the most recognisable in the increasingly crowded library of Elvis authors.
Alanna was the winner of the 2004 CMA Media Achievement Award and the 2009 Charlie Lamb Award for Excellence in Country Music Journalism, she has written about music for such publications as “Vanity Fair,” “People,” “USA Weekend,” “TV Guide,” “Playboy,” “Entertainment Weekly,” “Ladies Home Journal,” “The New York Times,” and “Reader's Digest,” where she was a contributing editor from 2004-2008. Nash, whom “Esquire” magazine named one of the "Heavy 100 of Country Music," co-edited Will the Circle Be Unbroken: Country Music in America, published in 2006 by the Country Music Foundation and Dorling Kindersley. (That book brought her second Belmont Award.)
Alanna’s fourth book about Elvis, Baby, Let’s Play House The Women Who Loved Elvis, will be released in the USA in early January 2010 (and UK release in March 2010). The women interviewed represent some of those who were romantically involved with Elvis and others who enjoyed a platonic relationship with him. Offering a unique and comprehensive female perspective on Elvis, Baby, Let’s Play House adds immeasurably to our understanding of who Elvis was by offering a unique window to his soul.
The Alanna Nash Library includes:
* Dolly: The Biography
* Behind Closed Doors: Talking With The Legends of Country Music
* Elvis: From Memphis To Hollywood Memories of My Twelve Years with Elvis Presley (by Alan Fortas, with Alanna Nash as "ghost writer")
* Elvis Aaron Presley: Revelations of the Memphis Mafia (reissued as Elvis and the Memphis Mafia)
* The Colonel: The Extraordinary Story of Colonel Tom Parker and Elvis Presley
* Golden Girl: The Story of Jessica Savitch (which suggested Disney's feature film "Up Close and Personal," starring Robert Redford and Michelle Pfeiffer)
In the concluding part of her absorbing interview with EIN, among other things Alanna talks about:
o the controversy about Baby, Let's Play House
o Elvis and physical force against women in his life
o Elvis' psychological issues
o Elvis and relationships
o the Gladys Presley letter to Parchman Prison
o why Elvis acquiesced to the Colonel
o Elvis' mischievous side
