New Book Reveals the Secret Life of Howard Hughes
Douglas Wellman’s New Book to be Released
(May 13, 2010) Douglas Wellman’s new book Boxes: The Secret Life of Howard Hughes to be released May 13 and available at major online book retailers.
Boxes: The Secret Life of Howard Hughes tells the tale of Howard’s secret life under the assumed identity of Verner “Nik” Nicely, from the point of view of his wife, Eva McLelland. Her discovery that her eccentric Midwestern husband was really the great Howard Hughes was difficult, to say the least, and sent her on a path she had never expected to take. With photographs, authentic documentation, and professional research, this book examines one of the greatest hoaxes of all time. Douglas Wellman’s fascinating and touching real‐life mystery drama, Boxes: The Secret Life of Howard Hughes, is available now through WriteLife (visit www.writelife.com) and will soon be available at Amazon and other major online book retailers.
“Eva’s story was hard to understand and even harder to accept. Without knowing where it would lead, a colleague of mine began to research her story and her husband’s previous identity. Piece by piece, Eva’s tale checked out, strange as it was. The book finally makes sense of the numerous inconsistencies in the Hughes legend,” said Wellman.
Boxes: The Secret Life of Howard Hughes is published by WriteLife LLC, a collaborative publishing company based in Omaha, Nebraska. For more information on this book or any of WriteLife’s other publications, visit www.writelife.com.
