SYBIL'S BRUNCHEON'S FIRST BOOK!!


         

Well, Darlings!!.... Like an internet version of HELLO, DOLLY!, Mummy is "back where she belongs"!...

Yes, it's been a catastrophic month of a crashed computer, thousands (literally!) of lost stories and photos, and a "corrupted" external hard-drive which hadn't (unbeknownst to us!) saved and stored all of my archives when it was originally copied into it... that is until we needed to download it all and found that it RE-corrupted the newly purchased hard drive and RAM. To make a long story short, Mummie is going to go back to work on her book and her play, but I'm finding writing long-hand with a quill pen and parchment thwarting to the natural flow of my conversational style and thoughts...so!....

This is a naked appeal for you to go to your sofa, the lint trap in your dryer, or your 3rd grade piggy bank and toss Mummie some of your spare change. Although my MAC PRO is currently patched back together, I have been warned by the experts that its quasi-health is temporary. Being 6 1/2 years old (which translates to 72 HUMAN years!), another part of it could fail at any point!... we're on borrowed time here. So, here we are, limping along.....

After several years of performing in night clubs, on stage, and in television, I have decided to write my first book...a collection of memoirs, anecdotes, strange histories, funny biographies, and yes, even a recipe or two!.... I have been encouraged and even harangued by folks from all over the country to sit down and get it out!...on paper, that is!

And so, I am raising money to replace my computer, pay the bills to get the old memory retrieved properly, and to begin the expensive process of researching the publishing rights and/or royalties of the photographs which I often use in my writing. Needless to say, lawyers and the nice young people who fetch their espressos and croissants for them cost a fortune!...and we're hoping that most of the material we want to use will either be in the public domain or will be easily (and cheaply!) acquired. Once we have the rights to all (or most!) of the photos that we want to use, we will then be in a position to self-publish our book and/or offer it to established publishing houses. The tentative title is called "SCRAPS... memoirs and other clutter from Sybil Bruncheon".....either that or "Sybil Bruncheon Plays With Her Food!".... I'm open for suggestions!

           Our timeline on this project is "as quickly as possible"! We would like to start nailing down the rights for any and all visuals in the book since most of the book is actually already written...and (Thank Heaven, and my pal Arvyn!) retrieved from near-oblivion in a crashed hard-drive! If the process goes smoothly, our tentative printing date would be in the Fall of 2017....just in time for Holiday shopping! But first things first!!..

Fingers crossed!
