What if? Have you ever played that game?

What if Elvis Presley hadn't died on that fateful day back in 1977? Have you ever wondered what his life might have been like if he had survived?

I'm sure you must have wondered about this. There is hardly a person alive who didn't know about Elvis Presley. Whether or not you loved his music, you knew of him and his fame. He was an icon - The King. He still lives on in his music.

But what if he really lived on and not just in his music and in our hearts? Could he have turned his life around from the tragedy that it had become?

Glenda Ivey has created such a realistic 'what if story' about how Elvis' life could have been had he not died, that I am still wondering if perhaps he did not die on August 16, 1977. What if his death was just a dream? No, make that a nightmare. After reading Ivey's novel - WINGS ON A GUITAR: If Elvis Hadn't Died! - I'm hoping beyond hope that the story she created so excellently is for real, although I know in my mind that it is not.

For everyone who has ever heard the name of Elvis Presley - and that is most everyone in the world - this is a must-read book. You will want to purchase it and add it to your Elvis collection of memorabilia.
