This day has been spent organizing all the photos and art work for the posse book. I don’t know if I have a photograph to go with each chapter. The publisher may run them all together in center of the book. The photos are spectacular, especially the one of Wyatt Earp. There is so much going on behind his eyes. It’s a rage I think many people identify with. I sent the various copies of Thunder Over the Prairie out to my editor, agent, and all the people that are going to be offering a quote for the back jacket of the book. I sent the manuscript out praying that it gets good reviews. It’s one of the hardest parts of the job. Wednesday night Bible study was fun. There weren’t many kids there though. They were out with end of school year events. When I left the building I saw one of the male teachers helping his neighbor’s 8 year-old girl into his truck. The girl’s mother had asked him to give her a ride to church. I was instantly scared for the man. I told him that he should never be alone with any little girl. He was stunned because he never even thought about the consequences. Never thought she might make an ugle accusation. I think about that kind of thing all the time now and feel strongly about warning people. All it takes is one evil, horror of a human being who wants attention to ruin your life. The devil has many disguises. I’ve got the description of a couple of those disguises tatooed on my brain now. Looking at Wyatt Earp’s photo, I’d say he does too.
