A Very Merry Christmas to you!

This is my friend Fancy, I used her picture for the cover of my new Amazon short called Wish Kitty. I wish I could give the story away to everyone for Christmas. I hope that you and your family have a safe and happy Christmas. May the real reason for the holiday be in your thoughts this joyous time of year. Oh! Santas almost here! I hope you get something groovey!
God bless

I was snarked LOL

I was feeling mighty spry and thought...why I'm gonna try Ms. Snarks crapometer thingie..woe is me for sure. She wasn't mean at all but did teach me a thing or two. I wrote a bad synposis not a hook..so...what the hell is a hook? I'm going to spend me some time learning for sure. When I wrote my under 250 word thingie..why I didn't want to give the whole story away..so left things dangling..well, thats not good. So I'm gonna spend some time googling away to get an idea..what is a proper hook..whats it look like. I have a ghost..who doesn't know he's dead and of course.didn't mention he was a ghost..so maybe that's mistake #1. But, she said I need to get us to care about the main character..my problem..just who is the main character. To me..I have 2. The dead cowboy..and his grandson who he saves. see my problem? No? me either LOL. Well, it's a grand Saturday. I feel great and it's almost Christmas!
Go out and play you guys!
I'm heading to the woods myself in a few.
See you soon

It's too nice to stay in the house! I'll be out in the woods today.. Are you ready for Christmas yet? No? Thats okay, you've plenty of time!

It's weird warm weather. I'll be in the woods all day today. You might try it, go out and play.

Here it is Sunday again..

I was reading a few blogs that I like and noticed that most of them are very serious. Oh the writers are serious about being serious. Now I just can't relate to that at all. Oh, if you can't write something that is totally soul changing why write they say. To write is to be morally responsible to the reader.. Give me a break! Why is it so very important to make people feel sad. What the heck is wrong with everyone anyway? Is making the human reader feel down about their life good? Well, I sure hope that the people of this planet change their reading habits! If you want to be happy..read something that makes you smile, makes you do a random act of kindness to a stranger. So, over on the Zoetrope site they were having a great time posting a supposingly famous writer whose whole gig is to gross folks out. Just the thing to read at bedtime. You want to see who is serious about writing? Look who is NOT posting stories. Why should they bother, in no time reviewers tell you its frivilous. What moral in there to the story. Hey your puntuation is bad. I could go on and on. But I won't. So, go look at what you write. Would you read it to your Mom or Dad? How about your kids? Want to change the world? Do it 1 reader at a time. Make them smile. They also had discussions on why there are no blue collar workers with stories there. Blue collar workers want to laugh not read about your encounter with some sicko. Maybe the world really is into disgusting, but I and a few other writers I know, well...we refuse to believe it. So. I'm going to listen to whats going on there and write the opposite of whats popular. Wait! I already do that. Well, I've got a story to edit and its such a nice day out I may have to go outside and think about it. Procrastinate a bit :)This is a photo of my new grandson..Just a nice picture to gaze upon this Sunday afternoon. Why? Cause, no other reason. Just smile and have a grand day and write something..fun..happy..nice
See ya in a few days

Here it is December

This is my new story on Amazon.com I took the pictures in the woods one foggy morning with all the kitties at my side. They're great fun to hike with. Right now I'm not writing I'm editing a book to get ready for Lulu. I like using that site, lets be serious, I'm never going to be famous but thats okay. What I am doing to finally writing all the crazy stories down and saving them. For who, for everyone. You might be surprised how much a neat fun story can do for your outlook on life. A good smile will start your day off with a happy heart. Thats what I wanna do, make ya smile. Okay. You guys have fun and maybe..just maybe someone will email or leave a message. If not, oh well. I'll post my other ones in a day or so. In the meantime, Put some Christ into your Christmas guys.
Enjoy your day!
Peg :)

Work work work :)

Well not all work anyway. Went up to Wisconsin for the holidays also finally finished two books and published them on lulu. that was fun and quite educational by the way. Heres a link for them if you'd like to take a peek. Made matching You Tube things for them, do you like them?

The Irish Wilderness.. A historical fantasy, like ghosts? maybe the wee people?

Anasazi.
Ever wonder why the pyramids of Egypt resemble thoes in S. America? This is way fun!

So, you can see I've been a busy bee/writer. Tell me what you do ? Lets share.
Durn my keyboard is sticking, must be all these cats helping me work..ya think?
God bless
Peg :O)

It's a great day today..again sick of me saying that are you?

Isn't that a cool photo? It's the back cover of Katty New Year, an anthology I am in. The cat's name is Callie. what else :)
I also have some great news, 2 of my stories have been selected to go on Amazon.com's new shorts program. Oh I have 1 there already Medicine Skull. But these 2 are neat. 1st one is called Wish Kitty
2nd one is a collection of not very polictcally correct fun stories, kinda a collection "Ozark Mountain Tales." I'll let you know when they are live for sure. Today is the day my New Grandson gets born, kinda cool too. His name is Tucker McCoy Johnson. So..it's a busy day for me, a busy week! I'll be back later with more info for sure.
Have a great week all.
God bless

Here it almost the end of October

Well, what do ya think? As you know my original publisher of the ufo handbook disappeared, gave me the blues for a few days but then a publisher from RazaR decided to do it. Well, its going to be through Lulu..which I suppose is okay, who knows. But at least there it is, soon to be for sale. I also submitted about four stories to Amazon, no word yet from them, may take while, they're getting lots more subs now. I've been busy playing outside, way too much and not getting a lot done, like I should but.now it's getting cold, I'll be inside more (boo hoo) and maybe get some writing done.
I've got ads up all over the place so hopefully some of them will bare fruit :)
Well, hope everyone is having a grand day and is getting ready for Christmas. It's never too early to start ya know:)
God bless

I'm playin with You Tube!!

Another Grand Sunday

Well, thought I had found me my house last week. won't go into details and bore you to tears but it was awesome and in my price range. Got ahold of the realtor to find.. they had an offer on it..same day I called. shucks..ratts, worms!! Oh well, wonder what the good Lord has for me out there, that one wasn't it. LOL. My You Tube has over 100 hits on it, not bad for me but lots of them have thousands..wow! Hey, if 1 person goes to amazon and checks out Medicine Skull, it will be worth it for sure.
It's in the high 80's today, ticks are still creeping about in the woods which puts a cramp on me and hiking. no hiking no good alien pictures..pashaw!
Well, you guys have a most wonderful day!
See you in a few days
peggy

heres a fun one I did today

Well, I've been learning new things!

Spent some time with the movie maker program and thought it might be a fun way to help promote my books. Heck you never know, it might work? I put it on You tube which has a zillion videos up there, but hey..someone might just take a peak at mine, you never know. I try not to pay any attention to the news, its scary enough out there. Spend most of my time out hiking or working on my manuscripts. Let the good Lord take care of all the worldly stuff. Hope you had a great Labor day week end, been laid back around here. Still haven't found my housein Wisconsin yet, it'll show up eventually I'm sure.
Well. need to get something done, not sure what but it's way too nice to be in the house.
Enjoy your Sunday!
God Bless
keep writing!

This is kinda of neat..try it, you might like it!

Here I am..late again

Well, what excuse would you like me to give you? Aliens abducted me? ohThat might work but alas, no such luck. I did go fishing..what do you think? Yup, that was all I caught all day. Well, then we decided to go see the grandkids.
Headed North to Wisconsin spent a few days roaming around, got a wild hair..gonna move. Well not for a while though. Have to sell this place first. Anyone want a house deep in the ozark woods? LOL. Just kidding. I have a couple stories up, one on Staticmovement online and soon one on Ragged Edge the ezine. They got a bit delayed due to a death in the family. So no hurry on it. It's been hotter than all get out here in the woods, sheesh who knew the humidity was this high here in the woods. yuck! I'm not a hot weather person at all I guess. Well, I'll get going, seems like its almost beer thirty. You all take care, No promises but I may just get off my rear and do this more often. I wish I knew why I was so lazy. Maybe working on four stories at the same time will do that to you. Ha! Hard telling.
Have a glorious Sunday!
Me

Guess what! Heres a bit about my new book!

The cover looks great, of course it might get changed..but thats okay.

I'll get a small excerpt for you soon! The publisher is steel moon publishing.

Yes, its about aliens!
You can go to steelmoon and catch a tiny excerpt too, I'll let you know as it progresses.


So, what am I doing while I wait to edit? What else a sequel; But we'll worry about that later, won't we.
Heres the publishers web address; http://www.steelmoon.us/handbook.html
Take a look around their site and enjoy your self. I know I am.. and while your there be sure to checkout Monika's upcoming book "Quietly Crazy" It looks great! Well, guess I should get back to work.
Thanks for stopping by and wish me luck!
God bless ya'll!

Been busy and time got away from me again

So, I was suppose to be working and the kids drove down from Wisconsin..work? No way! My almost 5 year old grand daughter and I grabbed some chalk and decorated the porch and ourselves. So.. when exactly am I suppose to grow up?
Hopefully never!

I did get a few sp[are minutes to write, while she napped. My newest story is set in the 1860's, a bit of civil war and Irish lore all mixed together nicely! Ad a pinch of Indian legend and a mystery that actually happened in Missouri and Theres my story! Since no one ever really solved the mystery I did! So, soon I'll finish it up, which right now I hate to do because I am having just way too much fun writing it. So I keep postponing the ending. Well, its a hot muggy Sunday and I suppose I should get busy! I haven't heard from the publisher for a little while, but all still looks good one my book. I forgot to mention. The first publisher I dropped. they wanted me to completely change it..into something else.. which I tried to do but was unhappy with. Then low and behold a different publisher decided they liked my original idea! So wish me luck!
Have a great day today. Write what you want, when you want and enjoy yourself.
God Bless

Happy 4th of July

Sorry I have been gone so long, its just way too hot here and well I've been hiding in the woods alot to be cool. I also have almost finished the book I have been working on..whew, edits are tuff! I received another review on my story on Amazon, what a jerk he was, used comments like prosacian writer or some such a thing..sounds like one that Ivan removed from zoetrope not too long ago, oh well...you can't win them all. I hope my Amazon short is doing well, too bad we can't get a counter to see if anyone reads them, maybe its better that way? I would hate to bribe folks to spend 49cents LOL.

I'm thinking of heading north to Wisconsin to set up housekeeping, like I said the heat is hard to take. what a wuss I am! I'm also in about 15,000 words into my next one. "The Wilderness", its progressing nicely too! I noticed a lot of folks on the writers site are gone for the summer, too hard to stay inside on such great summer days..see I am not the only one. Well, I think I'll get going for now..will try and post more often, not that this is a popular stop for folks..but you never know! Have a great week and enjoy life, whatever it is your doing!

Sunday! what a fun day..

Okay, its great here in the ozarks but I have to tell ya I am sick and tired of theose blood sucking creatures..no nothing popped outta the spaceships..TICKS!!! man, I can't go in the woods after about 10 oclock or they munch on me the damn vampires! So I did something stoopier than ticks..I bought chickens.. 16 cats 16 chickens. what was I thinkin..no..not 1 chicken has gotten eaten by a cat..but.. my flower garden is gone. my tomatoe plants are gone. so..which is worse..you tell me
ticks or chickens.
There, I whined.. I Hate Chickens!!
no I don't feel better, now I hate 2 things in the world. ticks and chickens, well I do like chickens 1 imperticular way.. FRIED!!
so, have a solution to ticks? have a soultion to chickens? Email me, let me send you a chicken courtesy of the anti kill the chicken league..Is there such a thing? No? Good!

Well, so much for a happy Sunday LOL...

I freaked when they lowered the ramp!

Alien spacecraft in my yard!

Well, this is one of the photos I took while exploring in the forest, I am having a great time and will post a few more of them as soon as I can. It has alot to do with why I havent gotten off my rear to update my blog. My new book due out next year will explain alot. Its been a fun few weeks. My amazon story is still live so go take a read, leave me a review if its nice..no nasty reviews okay? Yeah..I know you feel you just have to be truthful, well Lie durn ya! LOL. No its a fun story, not an alien one in this one. But who knows about the next one. Well, email me, leave a comment just say Hi, I don't mind a tad.
Bless you all for being you.
I'm off to find a few more aliens before they figure out I have found them!
Oh, I have a photo of one of them.. it sure looks familar to me..ccan't quite place it..but I will!
I'm off!
