Thrilled to share the cover and pub date for my next book!

 YIPPEE KI-YAY: "DIE HARD," BRUCE WILLIS, AND THE REINVENTION OF THE ACTION MOVIE — an in-depth look at the origin, production, and legacy of the original 1988 classic, as well as its various sequels and rip-offs — is out 5/11/27!

In college, I read a magazine article titled “‘Happy Trails, Hans’: Roy Rogers as the New Heroic Ideal.” It really stuck with me. Over the years, when suggesting to people that they should watch Die Hard, I tend to focus on how it changed the action genre and specifically the action-hero archetype.
