I met up with author Michael Wallis and a few other longtime roadies for lunch Friday at Ollie’s Station in Tulsa. Wallis had a few interesting announcements to make:
- His book “Billy the Kid: The Endless Ride” has been optioned for a film. It will star Haley Joel Osment, who is famed for his child role in “The Sixth Sense” but is now 19 years old — older than when The Kid became an outlaw.
- The next book Wallis is set to work on is a biography about Davy Crockett.
- His latest book, “The Lincoln Highway: Coast to Coast from Times Square to the Golden Gate,” was named one of the 10 best travel books by Amazon.com’s editors.
Ron, thanks for the great up-date on Michael, (our #1 Route 66 celebrity!)
We wish Michael and others on the Route much continued sucess in the years to come!
