A PERSONAL INSCRIPTION FROM JACQUELINE STALLONE

“Would You Believe
This Day?”

When Jacqueline Stallone came to Kuala Lumpur to launch my book in January 2007, she left me these words on my Rocky Balboa poster:

“Gerald, from Jacqueline Stallone. Would You Believe This Day?”

For me, that inscription captures the wonder of a dream finally becoming real. After years of trying to bring In the Eye of the Tiger into print, here was Stallone’s mother celebrating that moment with me.
