Dear Paul & Kathy, I hope you will check out a certain book called "Political Theatre," someday in the future. It's a story about prejudice, whether it be sexism, religious oppression, racial and even sexual orientation. The ensemble of characters have to deal with some form of prejudice. Even the rich white characters whose lives seem perfect, have to deal with family secrets that would make them outcasts in that era.

Dear Kathy, Nice to hear from you again. Will you be coming to Washington this year?

Sorry I did that twice. I didn't think the first one was posted.

Dear Kathy, So great to finally catch up with you. I attended the Bellingham Author's Conference a few years ago. Your speech was one I never forgot. I've written a novel that you might be interested in. It's called "Political Theatre." It's the story of a young woman who finds herself pregnant and alone during WWII. A man she barely knows at her new job is in desperate need of a Green Card to avoid a Jewish Death Camp. I'd love if you could read it sometime this year. It's under a pen name of course. I hope to see you in Bellingham this April. With Extreme Gratitude, Meredith Pechta

Dear Kathy, So nice to catch up with you! I attended the Chanticleer Authors Conference in Bellingham a few years ago. In fact, I was one of the contestants. I never forgot your speech! It gave me hope. I'm now a published author. I'd love it if you'd read my new novel "Political Theatre." I wrote it under a pen name naturally. It's available on Amazon and at Barnes & Noble and so forth. Just read the synopsis. I think you and your book group might be interested. I hope to see you in Washington at the next conference. Sincerely, Meredith
