And Other Ways to Get Attention

Resumen del Editor

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.

Warm, Funny, a Must Listen Book

You gotta admire an authoress who has such incredible gift with the written word. And written with such humor and love. And at age 84 no less.
I want to grow up and be like Peggy Rowe.

Enjoyed this book

This book was entertaining and easy to listen to, no politics or foul language. Enjoyable.

So enjoyed the book

I’ve read all her books and have passed them on to friends. Hope to see a 4th book.

Such a fun listen

I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed all the little short stories that I would be chuckling driving down the road. Wonderful, positive listening.

Pure joy!

This is a perfect book for our time, or any time, really. All of the funny and personal stories read to perfection by Mrs. Rowe will delight the listener, so much so that you won't want it to end. I highly recommend this book to everyone - it will lift your spirits!

A fun peek into some very interesting lives

After listening to this book, I can see where Mike gets his personable nature. The many anecdotes ranged from fun to hilarious, and Peggy knows how narrate like a pro. Her style reminded my of a (slightly) saucy Erma Bombeck, whose writing I also enjoy.

I loved this book, and I will spread the word. Everyone should read it. Even you.

More more more!

Listening to Peggy Rowe’s books is like listening to a funny, smart friend. I hope her book about her husband makes it to audio, and I hope she writes and records many, many more! Thank you, Peggy!

Neighbors and white coats…

I sooo enjoyed listening to Peggy telling her stories! I’ve lol while driving to and from dr appointments, while waiting on an oil change, etc. This evening as I planted flowers on my porch I was brought to tears as she told the story of PC’s purple eggplant, in large part because I went through a nearly identical situation with my now departed hubby some 16 years ago. As I was laughing and crying, my neighbor came to the edge of his yard to ‘check on me.’ No doubt concerned I’d finally went over the edge. ;))) Thanks for sharing as well as the the memories! My mom would have adored you as she shared your witty dry humor.

PS I disposed of the used ice packs. lol

Fun collection of stories

I’ve read all her books, and loved them all. Her writings are light hearted and entertaining. The books transport the reader to simpler times; Peggy’s writing is a refreshing escape.

Several good short stories

Except for all of the plugs, she gave promoting Mike, this was a good book.
