ON TIME...ALMOST

At least I didn't wait until the last day to fill you in. I'm still writing confessions and the CONFESSING FOR MONEY book is still unfinished.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU NOW

I have a book ready for publication. Editor likes it and is ready to go. I need a UFO VIP to write the foreword for the book. Are you that person? If you've written a book, novel or nonfiction in the UFO field or if you are well known as president of a UFO group or if you have little gray people coming into your house each night or even some nights, PLEASE contact me so we can get this book off the ground. It is nonfiction, a biography of a well-known UFO investigator, so it is about her, not about something I've made up. Contact me with your sentence or two about why you or someone you know would be a good choice and we can get together to talk about it. No money involved (unless Editor goes mad and offers to pay you) but I’ll buy you dinner and you can show your mom your piece in the front of the book. You can go with me to sign when I do that sort of thing. You can sign on your page and I'll sign on mine along with the person whose experiences I delineated in the book who will also be signing. Call me at (918) 834-6365 or e-mail me if you think you fill the bill. I'm ready to get this baby flying.

ABOUT "I TRADED MY BODY FOR A HOUSE."

I haven't heard from Pat Byrdsong yet as to whether she liked the story or not. I liked writing it. I'll let you know what happens. Maybe she'll tell me in Oklahoma City next week. She is going to be at the OWFI conference and so am I. Good things happen down there in Oklahoma City each year on the first weekend of May.

THE SOUL MATE QUESTION

In the last newsletter I asked what I should do with a heroine who thinks, knows, her husband is her soulmate and then the husband is killed. Can she find another soulmate? Several people answered and some of the answers were so good I am considering using their ideas in the story. Those whose ideas I may use and who have won an hour or $50 worth of my consultation time are as follows Teresa Amboard and I don't know Teresa's hometown, Debby Camp of Tulsa, Paula Gorgas of Poteau, Oklahoma and Lori Prideau of Tulsa. Congratulations ladies. Of course, Debby and Paula are both well published authors in their own rights so don't know what I could possibly tell them in one hour which would be helpful to them. Debby swears she has an editing job for me and Paula says she'll think of something.

And thanks to the others who had good ideas which I probably won't use. I appreciate the fact that you took time from your busy schedules and was thrilled to hear from you. Your ideas were good, they just didn't seem to move my story along. Jackie King thought our girl should fall in love with the undertaker who buries her first soulmate. Jackie is so quiet and conservative looking that I'll bet most of you don't know she is a really funny woman. She can always make me laugh. And I need some laughs. Mothers Day is coming up in a few days and I will be needing some entertainment.

RILED ABOUT COWBOYS

I have been thinking about writing a Western and decided that I wanted Dusty's hero more than I wanted to write a Western. I think I've fallen for Logan and it is all Dusty's fault. So I'm not starting a Western just yet. Maybe later. However, if a tall, slim, silver haired (or even bald headed) cowboy shows up at my door needing a bath and a place to sleep I'm going to invite him right in. We can perhaps get to the story later...after the bed and bath. I have too much on my plate right now to head West. So, I guess you could say I'm unriled, so to speak, about the writing, anyway God will probably let me off the hook this time. Don't know about the ex. I believe he was looking for a bed and bath when first I met him.

DAN CASE

I'm going to have to brag on Dan again. He and his electronic publishing house made the front of this month's Writers Digest as one of 101 best electronic publishing houses in the USA.

Yay Dan! He drew a cute Chicken Writer for the Tulsa NightWriter newsletter this month too. Wonder if he'll do one for the next NightWriter newsletter?

NEXT MONTH, Y'ALL.

I loved hearing from so many of you. Hope I'll hear more from you this month. See you in June (or perhaps in person in Oklahoma City in May.)

Love Peggy
