Produktbeschreibung
Peggy Rowe is at it again—this time giving a hilarious inside look at her writing career. Peggy Rowe has been writing all of her adult life. In fact, she doesn’t know how not to write—even through those years of constant rejection from publishing houses. But between her tenacity and the encouragement of her family, Peggy’s breakthrough finally came—at the age of eighty! Vacuuming in the Nude is most likely her funniest prose to date as she shares her journey of attending myriad writers’ conferences and honing her ability to see humor in everyday situations. From the family’s beloved dog Shim, who thrived on piles of fresh, warm manure from the horse pasture—to vacationing on the sweltering beach with mosquitos the size of dune buggies—to the challenges of aging, Peggy Rowe delivers a hilarious array of stories that reflect her addiction to making people laugh. Even in her cancer support group, she manages to use her humor to affect others for the good. If Peggy isn’t putting her publisher on hold to finish a game of Mahjongg, she’s at her kitchen table window-on-the-world taking notes for the next story for fans old and new to enjoy.
Autorenporträt
Peggy Rowe lives in Baltimore, Maryland, with John, her husband of sixty-four years. After fifteen years as a stay-at-home mom to their three sons, and a somewhat abbreviated career in education, Peggy began writing in earnest. She has written three New York Times bestsellers since turning eighty. And now Peggy and her ninety-one-year-old husband have moved into a retirement community where shuffleboard, bocce ball, swimming, shooting pool, and table games are a way of life. Good stories and humor are around every corner. "It’s all good" Peggy says, "if you like being around old people; the place is crawling with them. Some are even older than we are—if you can imagine that."
