Vacuuming in the Nude: And Other Ways to Get Attention
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.

I purchased this for my 94 year old mother-in-law. As she looked, she was smiling and hoping I would leave so she could start reading it.
Melanie Lamere
I think she gets better every time. Such an incredible talent that has been hidden away for far too long. I know I am very thankful that we all get to finally enjoy it. Her stories are full of hope and realism, faith and perseverance, with a tall dose of the cleverest humor around. Thank you Peggy!

I love her short stories about her family, friends znd life. Some bring tears of sadness but most bring tears of laughter. She writes such positive books with great humor, She makes me look back at my own adventures in life with great fondness. Her books are sunshine when the world seems so upside down. I can't wait for her next book to come out.

Peggy Rowe does it again! Very interesting to learn the back story of how she finally got published. At the age of 80 it's pretty remarkable that she had the stars align and help from Mike to (as the event promoter introduced her) become an "overnight success !" After all the years of rejection slips, I don't know if I'd been as persistent to keep writing. But as Peggy says, "I cannot NOT write!" I loved her opening about asking Mike to write the foreword for her first book, then the second, and now this one! I laughed out loud! Here's hoping there are more books to come.

Received this book yesterday, started reading it about 8pm last night and finished reading it at 2 am this morning. I laughed until I cried so many times reading this. I had seen her on FOX Sunday night as well on some of Mike's podcasts. Peggy is a jewel and her writing is the best. Going to order her other two immediately and hope they are as good, however I doubt she can make me laugh so much 3 times out of 3. Have already passed this book along to my best friend and can hardly wait until she finishes it to hear her reaction.
