PEGGY FIELDING'S
NEWSLETTER A WHOLE NEW VOLUME. HAVE WE BEEN DOING THIS FOR NINE YEARS? My cousin Margaret Rose, in Madill, Oklahoma, keeps my monthly (or sort of monthly) newsletters collated in order. Perhaps others do that as well. Now, we're starting on a whole new volume. Hope I'll be more faithful in getting my letter out in 2009. Now, go to the archives to see the gegaws and color that Dan puts in. Just punch in www.peggyfielding.com MY EXCUSES FOR BEING NEGLECTFUL
I'm late because of writing our newest HEN. I think our Two Foxy Hens and One Big Rooster will be out by June. Dusty Richards has agreed to put a novella into our book, in fact his novella is now on my desk and Jackie and I are madly writing to finish our pieces of the book.
I'm also judging books for the Romance Writers of America RITA awards. I'm trying for one book a day. Although I am a fast reader/editor I am finding difficulty in plowing through some of the fatter historicals within a day. I guess it is good that I have been iced and snowed in for the last four days. I have gotten a ton of work done. THE RED HEN HAS BEEN JUST AS BUSY Not only is Jackie trying to finish her novella, she's getting ready to come out with her first mystery novel, The Inconvenient Corpse.
Great cover, I think! SAVING MY PAL JACKIE A LITTLE EXTRA WORK Since my left hand does a fairly rotten job of typing, my typed manuscripts sometimes have to fall under her twinkling fingers. She offers. I accept. But I'm beginning to feel a bit guilty.
QUITE A FEW OLD OILTONITES IN TEXAS. One of my brother Jack's high school pals, Bob Inman, has kept up with me recently through the US Mail and the telephone. He has mentioned Betty Ann Hazlip, Pat Burdette, Norma Jo Inman and Alta Lominick. In a note Bob says they "all have different names now." I have never given up "Moss." I've just added on any other names which I picked up along the way. The University of Central Oklahoma calls me Peggy Lou Moss Kirk Fielding. That's perfectly okay with me. Bob sent a picture of his wife Ruth and one of himself. Bob seems to be religious to the max. Just note all those crosses on the wall behind him. Good he doesn't use the computer so he can't see all the naughty things I say in this missive. CAROL SNOW
She leaned over to talk to a little girl after a performance and asked her little fan what her favorite part of the show had been. The little girl answered, "When the horse peed." Cute. I don't have a horse but there is a world of pee around my little ranch on Fourth Street. I could entertain that kid a million times a day. AS FOR MY LOVELIFE The big Rooster, Dusty, recently sent me five (Yes! Five!) Logans which he wrote and had published in 2008. Those are the adult Westerns he sells to Jove and I can't wait to read all five books. Many of you have heard me shout that Dusty is my only source of sex these days. The Logans are the books that do it. Dusty's sweet wife, Pat, has given me tacit permission for the shout, of course. MY LOVELIFE QUICKENED GREATLY A FEW WEEKS AGO Craig Ferguson, the lovely former Scotsman, now American citizen with a beautiful Scottish accent on the "Late-Late Show" on CBS, had as one of his guests, my other true love, the Sgt Major on "The Unit," who also sells Allstate Insurance from the middle of the road. Yes, I'd be thrilled to be in his good hands. Now, consider my friends, there they were, the two men, other than the big Rooster, THE TWO whom I love best in the world, right there at my kitchen table together, for perhaps twenty minutes. Or more. Exciting stuff for an old broad, kiddos. SO I WILL SEE YOU IN NEXT MONTH'S BIT OF DRIVEL And, as I've already confessed, the old babe is still full of piss and vinegar. Does that elicit a loud "Eww" from my readers? Love, laughter and hugs to you all Peggy Lou Moss Kirk Fielding | ||

Volume
9 Number 1 January 2009
Ive made a bargain with little Deanna Ponder, a member of the local RWA group, RWI. I'm doing a bit of "writing" work with Deanna and she has agreed to type up the novellas of the Old Hen and the Big Rooster to sent on to our publisher, AWOC. Deanna is not only fast, she is terribly efficient and correct in her work. Anything she had typed looks beautiful on the page! Appearance alone should make our editor happy. 
I wrote about Carol in my last newsletter. She was recently quoted in the Tulsa World telling about her role as Aunt Eller in the outdoor stage show of "Oklahoma!" at Discoveryland near Sand Springs. |
