After many years of research and blogs Alpha’s JOHNNY MYERS has finally written and released the book ‘Mill Valley Days’. Based on his early life growing up in California the book covers topics such as McCarthyism, sci-fi/horror movies and the British music invasion as well as many other subjects. It’s a wonderful recollection of a bygone era but also a brilliant achievement by a beloved Alpha member. The book is now available on Amazon. Add it to your Christmas list!
