Please post your thoughts, permission, if granted, plus any other info you'd like, in this thread, concerning turning the granny stories into an actual book.

We can produce a book and have our own "Storefront" at cafepress.com with no upfront costs as I have done for my recent book. I'll explain it more, later. Right now it's my bedtime.:-)

Thanks to all who have sent PMs and/or offered stories and help with the book in the granny thread.

P.S. Please do not post stories in this thread.

You can put my grandmothers in the book. They would feel flabbergasted though. mg

Of course, and I expect people will flesh the stories out, right?
They bring tears to my eyes when I read them .
I wonder how many others have had the experience I have had. I have begun remembering so many other things that were lon forgotten. What a bonus!

Fleshing out would be welocme, at this point...we'll need that to make a book of any length.:-)

Thanks, folks. Cats and I will be working on this in a couple of weeks or so. IN the meantime, feel free to post more stories which you'd like to share in the other thread and stuff about the book in this one. This is exciting!

Granny stories? A brand-new publication from the pen of a lady called Jan Peterson, Port Alberni B.C. All about her Granny and life in the old days. Good reading. Inquiries to Alberni Museum, Port Alberni, B.C. a GOOD READ!

I'm in contact with Katlaughing and we are going to work together on this even though we live on opposite sides of the pond!!!!   You can contact me on 'Cats' or her with permissions and send your stories too if you want or post them on the other thread. This started out as a way of supporting Janie who was going to sing at her granny's funeral and has grown. Thanks to everyone - keep them coming.

Please feel free to use my post. If you need/want a longer version, let me know -- I'm not making any promises, and I do NOT wish to take on any "homework," but it's an admirable effort and I want to cooperate!
