May 25 - Elvis - From Memphis to Hollywood to Update

Danish author Stig Ulrichsen announced the Fall 2025 release of a third, updated version of Alanna Nash and Alan Fortas' book 'Elvis - From Memphis to Hollywood', which was originally released in 1992 and republished in 2008. 

Ulrichsen posted on Facebook:
 I am extremely happy and proud to share that I have just signed a book publishing contract with my good friend, award-winning author and journalist Alanna Nash and Miles Fortas - son of Alan Fortas, who was a good friend of Elvis Presley and worked closely with him for 12 years.

In the fall of 2025, our new and updated version of the long-awaited book "Elvis - From Memphis to Hollywood" will be published by my publisher Nunatak, originally written by Alanna and based on Alan Fortas' own experiences.

The original edition is almost impossible to reproduce today - and it is priced at around US$130, if you are lucky. Therefore, it is a great honor to bring this great story back to Elvis fans all over the world.

Look forward to an exciting reissue filled with photos, updated stories and a love for music history that only a few like Alanna can convey.

Alanna has received numerous awards for her work, including the CMA Media Achievement Award, Belmont Book Award, and the Charlie Lamb Award for Excellence in Country Music Journalism. She is one of the most respected writers in the field of music journalism, so it is a special honor to work with her on this reissue. More information coming soon - stay tuned!
