Hey man, this is Chilly Billy Howell.
I’m on the Moon and I’ve got something, not clowning, to say today.
Madge and I are looking for some feedback, recommendations, suggestions, or direction on something.
Over the last ten years we have been working on an unusual book, kind of spiritual, with a becoming element and it is loosely around crossroads.
That does not necessarily mean what you think it means if you come to Clarksdale all the time. But there is a crossroads theme.
It is providential, we think, and we have been working on it for about ten years.
It is on our heart to tend to it now and it seems like a real serendipitous or providential time to do it.
We talked to a local publisher friend and he recommended we go the independent route using Amazon, which he uses himself. We have looked into that but we believe we do not have the expertise to do so on our own. So we need an independent publisher to help us develop and publish this unusual book.
If anyone in our Delta Bohemian at-large family around the world, who have taken the tour or stayed with us or met us, has any connections, if you know someone that could steer us in the direction on how to find an independent publisher, we pray you will share this information with us.
This will be an unusual book, set up in a way that I do not know I have ever seen before.
We want to put it out there to see if anyone has some ideas or suggestions to share with us.
We will see if God opens the door. If He does, great! And if He doesn’t, that’s okay, too!
It has been very cathartic for Billy to write over these years. It is from the viewpoint of a character Billy has created who somewhat resembles himself. Everything that an author does, according to John Grisham, is somewhat autobiographic, but not totally, but somewhat, but a lot.
It is a very paradox of a project and this character has written over 3,200 original quotes based on a life of becoming.
The content does have a crossroads theme in it. A crossroads can mean a lot of things.
It is an unusual book and project that needs an unusual life.
Cheers from Malachi, Chilly Billy and Magical Madge Marley Howell.
Have a good day.

Billy, I may have what you’re looking for in the way of an independent publisher. The opportunity may be in Hernando’s Public Library this Monday, June 9th at 9:00am in the way of a presentation on memoir writing by a member of the Christian Writer’s Group who also owns a publishing company. Bingo! Ask and the Lord will provide. Of course you need a copy of the email that I received yesterday around noon. When I opened your mail a few minutes ago to ck what it might be about, I was hooked. Now, I need to review your site to see if you have a more direct way to chat with you no later than this evening. Actually, I need to forward the email I received directly to your personal email. What ever you’re doing right now, stop it and read this note!
Don, we are grateful for your response and for your referral. We connected with her this morning and it went well. We also look forward to hopefully breaking bread with you some day.
