Press Release Summary = Stephen Lodge’s new novel, "Nickel-Plated Dream," will return the reader to those thrilling days of yesteryear, where traditional Western
values embraced the Code of the West.

Press Release Body = This exciting adventure yarn blends teenage restlessness with cowboy thrills while paying tribute to the Western stars and movie sets of the late 1950's. “The Kid”—a 20th Century lad with a stubborn wish that he’d been born a 19th Century
gunfighter, and his faithful companion—an eccentric Indian called “Indian,” embark on a heart-stirring odyssey that takes them from John Wayne’s set of "The Alamo" in Texas, to Opening Day at the Old Tucson Western Movie-Set Amusement Park in Arizona. Their rowdy escapades eventually lead them to California’s celebrated Corriganville Movie Ranch—the Universal Studios Tour of its day. It is there where The Kid quickly learns the ropes by testing both his love and his courage. Acting out famous historical gunfights for the throngs of paying tourists brings The Kid closer to his dream—and to death. "Nickel-Plated Dream" is loosely based upon the author’s humorous and youthful recollections of 1959 when he was a 16-year-old gunfighter-stuntman at the then-world-famous Corriganville Movie Ranch Attraction near Hollywood. "Nickel-Plated Dream," to be published by Behler Publications of Lake Forest,
California, will be available before year’s end, at your favorite bookstore.
