If I can make you cry on one page and bring you out of tears rolling with laughter the next, I’ve done my job as a writer
#Family and #food play huge roles in my stories because I believe there is nothing that holds a family structure together like sharing a meal…or two…or ten. Dotted with humor and characters that are as real as they are loving, I bring all topics of daily life into my stories: life, death, sibling rivalry, illness and the desire for everyone to find their own happily ever after. Growing up the only child of divorced parents I longed for sisters, brothers and a family that vowed to stick together no matter what came their way. Through my books, I’ve created the families I wanted as that lonely child.
When I’m not #writing I’m usually #painting #crafting #scrapbooking or #decoupaging old steamer trunks I find in #rummagestores and at #garagesales.
As a lifelong diarist, I caught the blogging bug early on, and you can visit me at peggyjaeger.com where I’m blogging about life, writing, and stuff that makes me go “What??!” daily.
Tying into my love of families, my one and only children’s book, THE KINDNESS TALES, was illustrated by my artist mother-in-law.
A lifelong and avid romance reader and writer, I am a member of RWA and my local New Hampshire RWA Chapter

Ten things you should know about me:
10. My favorite book is The Little Engine That Could (ask me why when you see me!)

7. My left eye is significantly smaller than her right eye.
6. The best decision I ever made was to marry my husband — a man who can’t live without a strong woman!
5. The best gift I ever received was my daughter, who’s now 33 but who I’ll always call my “baby”.
4. My favorite song is Secret Agent Man by Jonny Rivers.
3.I’ve been on a diet in some form for the past 40 years.

Hi Peggy,
I wasn’t sure the best way to contact you.
The Seattle RWA chapter is having a writer’s conference, Emerald City Writers Conference, in October and we are wondering if you’d like to donate any leftover swag from the RWA National Conference.
Thanks,
Natalie

Hello Peggy,
It was great to see you again at FILNE in October. The year before I attended as a reader and enjoyed your talk about writing the multi-author series (Dickens). I thought it was wonderful and would like to have you present it or how to write a Christmas book to the Connecticut chapter of RWA (CTRWA).
I will be the new VP of Programming in the new year and am trying to get the schedule set up already. Our Zoom meetings are the second Saturday of the month. The presentation would be at 11am, after our 10am business meeting. We offer $75/hour renumeration.
Please let me know if this might be something you would like to do.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this request.

Hi DIana – It’s easier if we do this via email, so when you get this reply, go ahead and email me at mmj122687@yahoo.com. And yes, I would love to speak at CTRWA, but it would have to be via zoom as my travel is limited. I didn’t attend FILNE this year because my travel time is not what it used to be,healthwise. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you. Peg
