Sierra Lady

Desperate brides, dental surgery and death threats…the last two days have involved a bit of all three areas and then some. Every time I submit the new book about mail order brides I am told by the editor that I’m 4 or 5 thousand words short. So I write a few more chapters and turn those in and another word count shows that I’m still 4 or 5 thousand words short. I’ll be back at it again today. I am going to submit a chapter about the Harvey Girls. If I’m still 4 or 5 thousand words short you’ll hear a scream of frustration from coast to coast. Yesterday’s visit to the dentist was a treat. And by treat I mean horrifying. I’m not a good patient during a simple cleaning removing several fillings and replacing them with new ones to save my molars really sends me over the edge. After poking my gums with a sharp instrument for several hours the doctor pointed out to me that my gums were bleeding. I felt the need to mention that they weren’t bleeding when I came in and that maybe the problem was him. I feel better today. The death threats have eased up somewhat. For a couple of days I was receiving emails that explained that “my days were numbered.” Whose days aren’t number? In the midst of the hate mail and name calling I received an email of encouragement I want to share. I do this not to suggest I’m deserving of such kindness but to point out that there are angels disguised as human beings who offer encouragement when it feels all hope is lost. “Hi, I attended some of your wonderful seminars at the SASS convention and I was deeply moved by your terrible experience with “Missouri Justice” and I applaud and pray for you, for what you are doing to help your brother. His story is tragic and needs to be told as there are so many men out there who have been unfairly incarcerated by terrible women who use the law to warehouse their husbands or boyfriends in hellish conditions, just because they can. You are brave and a woman of incredible strength, I feel the Lord is working through you to not only help your brother but to help others, and to get recognition to change the law into a process that reveals the offenders and champions the innocent. You go girl!!! Best wishes Sierra Lady S.A.S.S.” God bless you, Sierra Lady and thank you. Now it’s time to return to Object Matrimony, which is the title of the mail-order bride book due to be released next year.
