I'm so glad that it will be out again soon,,,, I've been looking for it for sometime,,, can't wait to get it :D

[jewels]

Tracy, are chances still good that the "fishing" book will be re-released? Did he ever get enough interest to do the audio version?

Any progress on that collaboration with Dwight?

Jewels

[Tracy]

Jewels,
No word on "Fishing" either in paperback or audio as of yet.
I think Dirk's concentrating on getting KC back out there first :)
I'll try to find out about the Dwight collaboration and if that's making any headway ;)

[jewels]

thanks Tracy. Not terribly worth bugging da man about. but if it comes up.... ;)

[Decades]

[Jennifer L]

This is awesome news. I was able to get both books used at ABE about a year ago. So those of you who want "fishing" may try there or another on line used site. However, I would be glad to buy a new copy of one or both of Dirk's book so that he gets something out of it too.

[Tracy]

It's looking good for the ATWWF audio edition.
Don't have specifics yet, but it's lookin' good :)

[Tracy]

UPDATE:

"Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy" is to be released in June.
Hang on for an exact date.
Will post it when I have it :)

Great to hear that Kamikaze Cowboy is going to be re-released I've been trying to get a copy for a while.

We had a big full page article in todays newspaper (Herald Sun) here in Australia on the benefits of eating a healthy diet. We were told to eat lots of Miso soup, oats,barley, almonds, plenty of fresh fruit and veg and soy products and give up eating meat. That will reduce our cholesterol and make us all healthy. They are talking like it's some new scientific study when Dirk has been telling us this for years. Finally the so called 'experts' are telling us what Dirk has known all along.

:?

Is Dirk's book out yet? Or should I just go out and get an old one form e bay?

[Suz]

Hey Tony :)

Just so yaz knows....
You can now find Dirk's book on Amazon ... just in case it hasn't reached your local book store yet.

[Tony]

:P

Thanks ! I would like to see Dirk get my money then someone on e bay.

[Christy]

I've also been looking for Dirks books...KC and ATWWF ( love the audio concept!). Can't wait to purchase them! Any idea of the cost for both ( KC and ATWWF-audio )?...or is it too soon to say? Thanks!!!...

Sincerely,
Christy

[Tony]

:o

Hay I did not know Dirk was go to do a book on Tape. That would help out.
My reading is not the best it could be. :?
And I bet Dirk uses Big Words. like the word BIG. Or somthing like that. :wink:

[Kitti]

Any word yet when "Confessions of a Kamikazi Cowboy" will be out???
thanks
Kitti

[Tracy]

The book is supposed to be re-released sometime this month. Will post when I have exact date :)

[Tracy]

The books will be available via this website through the new website store sometime next week. This new edition has the same cover and content, but the "dedication" has been changed.

[Christy]

Hi Tracy!
How are things going with the new website store? Good I hope! Can you possibly give any info ( How soon we can "browse" the store and purchase Dirks book? What the cost will be? And can those of us that prefer to order by mail...will we be able to do so? ). I know you're very busy ( And by the way...THANKS!...for all you do here at the site for all of us. )...so when you get a moment, I'd greatly appreciate it ( as I'm sure others will too ).

Warmest Wishes,
Sincerely,
Christy

.... This new edition has the same cover and content, but the "dedication" has been changed.

In the KC book I have the dedication is to a lot of actors who died from cancer. Is the new dedication an update? Cancer has claimed many more since the first book was published. Sad. So sad.

[julie w]

"Is the new dedication an update?"

My personal guess would be that perhapes he dedicated the book to (or partly to) William Dufty. I believe he and Dirk were close (at least that's what I remember reading). Dufty even wrote the "forward" in KC. Also, if memory serves me correctly, I believe he passed away a few years back.

[Tracy]

With my starting a full time job a month ago and trying to get things organized for the store ( Paypal, order forms etc ) it's just taking a wee bit longer. It WILL be up next week FOR SURE.
There will be 2 books, as well as photos for sale.
All will be revealed when the store is open :)
As for the new dedication, it is a very special one ;)

[julie w]

"As for the new dedication, it is a very special one"

You tease! :-P
So basically what you're telling me is that even though I have the book already, I may want to buy this "updated" version, huh? Well, that's ok. It'll be going to a good cause, er, I mean - *man*.:-)

[MrsSpooky]

It arrived about 20 minutes ago, the book I ordered from amazon.com.

"And Then We Went Fishing" is on its way.

I'm still working, but did get through the introduction so far.

I just wish I had the discipline to eat right. I was a vegetarian for 12 years and I know I ate wrong, even if I did give up animal flesh. Can't wait to dig into this one!

Deb

[Billy]

Ordered Kamikazi today from Amazon! But can't afford "Fishing" :shock: ...going to see if local library can source it for me! :wink:

Excited now! Going to get to read about Dirk! :lol:

[MrsSpooky]

I dived into Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy and my eyes are bugging out of my head. Holy crud!! I can hear his voice while I'm reading it - I'd really love to hear him tell it himself - in his own voice.

Today my copy of "And Then We Went Fishing" arrived. Can't wait to get into THAT!

It's a slimmer book than what I was expecting, but that's ok. I really care about the guy and am interested in what he has to say about his life and experiences.

I'd love to say 'thank you' to him for writing these. I SO TOTALLY hope he and Dwight Schultz write a book about making the A Team! That would be killer!

Dirk and Dwight said they were planning a book on the A-team 1-2 years ago during a very short interview with one of the bbc radio channels. I have no idea what will happen with the idea. I certainly like it.

They were both unbelievable funny during the screenheroes convention in holland, so one can imagine how great a book about the a-team would be (and we all know Dirk is a good writter).

[Lexys]

Finally I get too this book. I have wait for it so long time and i can´t wait longer. :) I just have to read it. I am sure that this book is the best what i have ever read.
Book of A-team would be just wonderful. It was amazing show with best actors.

Oh you are SO TOTALLY going to LOVE it!! I thought Kamikaze Cowboy was the best book I'd read, but Fishing... The man knows how to write and he has a life that is totally worth writing - and reading - about.

I love reading biographies of people I admire, and these two rank as the best.

Today i was on beach and whan book-shop woman called me and now i have my own new "Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy"! I am so lucky and i have read almost 1/4 of it :D . It is super.

[DonnaRedRockMom]

can either of his books be gotten directly from Dirk....I agree that it would be best if it benefited him and not just others.

...please let us know

....my husband & I have worn out the library's copies...we would love to get one of each for ourselves and new ones for the library

thanks,
Donna

[MontanaCowgirl]

Hahaha... I just found a picture of myself reading the Kamikaze Cowboy during our last vacation in Holland. Nice memories :lol:

Hi there
I've been searching for this book for ages.
I've also been sending begging e-mails to various publishers letting them know that there is a huge demand for 'And Then We Went Fishing'.

Here's a link to the Penguingroup USA site. I followed a link saying 'Having trouble locating a book? Visit our help centre'.
People power, come on lets show the publishers that there is a demand for Dirks books.
We want it re-printed.

Hi! I have the books on order and can't wait to receive and start reading them. So hard to get within Australia, so I got onto Amazon and should have them in about a month. Just read about the A-Team book they might be writing, sounds like a winner!

:)

[lisi]

I have got bücher also on order

[bibbi]

You''ll really enjoy the books. I've read each of them more than 9 times. :)

[Tracy]

NINE times?? Wow. Does the story change each time you read it??:p;)

[bibbi]

NINE times?? Wow. Does the story change each time you read it??:p;)

I can't put the books down. ;) There's always something that I missed the first time I read it. Dirk is a great writer. I do that with a lot of books that I really enjoy. :D

[Flykie]

I got both books.
Very interesting about Dirk his live ;)

[bibbi]

I've started to re-read that book. I can't seem to put either of them down.
Dirk is a very talented writer *and very handsome* ;) :D

[Irishkiss]

I bought both books about a year and a half ago. They are absolutely great. It took me some time to find a place on the Internet that had the books, but I finally got them. I just cannot remember where I got the books though since it has been so long.

[AngieCorvette]

One of my clients, 29yrs old, whose had 3 generations of prostate cancer sufferers in his family, has bought Confessions of a Kamikaze Cowboy after my recommending it to him :D A few wks back when I wrote the details down on a post-it for him & he saw the author was Dirk Benedict, he said "that's Face from The A Team isn't it?"....... aaaah it made my day!...... :)

[drnkdiva29]

I have the book on my shelf and am afraid to pick it up for fear of happening upon a line that reads something like the following: "Alcohol is strictly prohibited." :)
(I'm already a vegan so its not like I've got a lot to give up...)

Somehow, I don't think you have to worry... :D

[drnkdiva29]

Thanks ! :D You know there are only so many food groups a girl can give up.... So maybe I will give the book a read.

[MissBenedict]

I just order the book on Bol.com.
I can't wait to have it here and to read it :D.
I think it's very interesting.

[Candi]

Only got to read the prologue and the first two pages last night, but so far And Then We Went Fishing is pretty good. :-)

It is excellent. :) I've read this book more than once including And Then We Went Fishing. ;) Can't wait to see if Dirk writes a third book, I'm sure it'll be as awesome as the other two. :)

[Emily]

Great books !! You can discover a sweet romantic side of Dirk that camaras can never tell ...
