This message is for Mary Monica Pulver. My name is Tyler Rabe, the Television Production Specialist at the Lake Minnetonka Communications Commission. We are the community television station for 17 cities around the Lake Minnetonka area. The reason I am contacting is that we would love to get Mary to do an interview with us. We recently became aware of Mary’s books from the article published in Lake Minnetonka Magazine. We were also recently featured in the magazine, and we both have the same goal of highlighting local citizens in our community. I could not find a phone number, otherwise I would have tried contacting you directly.
We have a monthly news-program here at the LMCC called Lakeside News, and we have a regular occurring segment called Around the Lake, where we spotlight local citizens or business’ that are making a difference. We are hoping to set up the interview for early November, and would love to hear back from you as soon as possible. Here is an example of a recently completed Around the Lake segment we did with local artist Philip Noyed, to give you an example of what we are hoping to accomplish.

If you have a phone number that I could get a hold of you that would be great, so we can talk and hammer out more details, otherwise, my number and email are at the bottom and I can be contacted anytime. Thanks, and I hope we can work together soon!

We look forward to your visit here at the Shakopee Library in a couple of weeks. Is it possible for the local cable station to video tape your visit here? Is it also possible to get your phone # in case we would need it?

I’m the Adult Services Manager for Anoka County Library and part of my responsibilities include overseeing our winter reading program for adults, which is called Winter Jackets and runs from January 17, 2012 – February 29, 2012. Because of legacy funding, the last few years we’ve been able to provide author visits for our customers during that time. Our customers are always drawn to Minnesota authors, so I was wondering if you might be interested in providing an author program at the Rum River Library on Saturday, February 25, 2012 at 2:00 pm.

Please let me know if you might be interested, and your fee for a one hour program. Legacy funding also allow us to pay mileage in addition to an honorarium, if that’s a consideration.

Thanks very much,

Monica Campbell

And I’m afraid you’ve asked for an indeterminate book: do you mean Sins and Needles, Knitting Bones, or Buttons and Bones? In all cases, he’s still at Crewel World. He’s learning to play golf with his boyfriend Rafael. And Rafael is thinking of starting his own shop. Godwin will be tempted.

I’m an avid reader and your stories were so rich with detail, yet easily read. I was able to sink my teeth into them in minutes. It’s been a little over 2 weeks since I read Blackwork, and I have completely read all but 2 or 3 books. Not only have you brought me into a genre of reading that I was never drawn to. You have also re-ignited my joy in needle crafts. I’m now working to bring my Counted up to a more intermediate level, I am also looking into learning Needle Point, and Knitting. I’ve been doing Counted and Crochet since I was a kid. So, thank you!!!

I don’t see your calendar listed in your email, but here are the dates we’d like to see if you’re available: (all from 7:00- 8:00 PM)
Thur 10/6, 10/13, 10/27, 11/10, 11/17
Tues 10/25
Monday 11/14

Also, what would you charge for an hour presentation? As I mentioned in the first email we have funding through the Legacy Amendment to pay for these presentations and could pay you $250 for an hour’s talk, but this is also negotiable.

If any of these dates works, just let me know and I’ll email you a short contract for the program that we’ll ask you to complete it and send to MELSA (the Metropolitan Library Service Agency) prior to the talk, as they are administrating the Legacy funds for all library programming.

Let me know if you have any questions. We look forward to having you be a part of this author series!

If it all possible, could you just call me at 952-447-3375 so that we can talk about this? It somehow seems that my emails are not getting through to you and I need to get plans in place by the end of the month. Thanks!

Can you take a look at that email and get back to me? Or I’d be happy to call you and talk about possibilities on the phone. I’ve got to get this arranged in the next week and we’d really enjoy having you talk at the library, but I need to talk specifics with you. Or give me a call at 952-447-3375.
Thanks!
