DAVE PRATT HOSTS EXCLUSIVE RELEASE CELEBRATION FOR MEMOIR
Book proceeds to benefit American Cancer Society
PHOENIX, AZ – In true Pratt fashion, Arizona’s most prolific radio personality and host of Dave Pratt in the
Morning on KMLE Country 108, celebrates the fall release of his memoir, Dave Pratt, Behind the Mic: 30 Years in
Radio, with a “private” celebration for a few thousand of his closest friends.
To get on the invite list, partygoers must preorder a copy of Pratt’s book for $30 online at
www.FiveStarPublications.com from May 15 through July 15, as the hard cover book will serve as their actual admission ticket into this exciting event held on Saturday, November 15, two days before the book is nationally
released to the general public on Amazon.com and at major book retailers. Festivities include a celebrity lineup,
entertainment and, of course, a few surprises from the always unpredictable Pratt. The party’s location will be
privately disclosed to those buying the book through the presale.
Proceeds from the sales of Pratt’s book, which is being nationally published by Arizona’s own Five Star Publications,
will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Pratt, who successfully battled prostate cancer in 2005, is so intent
on raising money for the cause that he vows not to give away any books, not even to his own mother!
"She insists on buying her own copy and is proud that our family is helping such a great cause. I have confidence
that my listeners and readers will feel the same," says Pratt, who promises that not one copy of his book will be
given away on or off of the air. If he personally gives one of his books to a friend or a loved one, he says he will
personally buy it.
"I never ask my listeners and supporters to do anything that I wouldn’t do myself. It’s for a great cause!"
Diehard fans hoping for a behind-the-scenes look at Pratt’s long and storied radio career will enjoy his book’s
humor and highlights from three decades as one of radio’s brightest stars. However, Dave Pratt, Behind the Mic:
30 Years in Radio is more than a string of amusing trivia. His memoir presents the life story of a small-town boy
who beat the odds to become the biggest name in the history of Arizona radio. It is a moving, honest and
warm account of how Pratt maintained his personal beliefs in a high-life atmosphere, never sacrificing his personal
character.
In his memoir, Pratt reveals how the loyalty of his listeners and the love of his family have been, and continue
to be, his driving force. Pratt proves an incredibly successful career and deep love for family can find balance in
one of entertainment's most turbulent industries. New and old fans alike will enjoy this occasionally tear-jerking,
sometimes funny, but always sincere ride with one of radio's legendary performers.
"The book was a labor of love," says Pratt. "It is a personal and sincere thank you to my family, friends and loyal
listeners who have blessed me with the opportunity to live my dream."
