Possible New Book

It is about a year now that I have been writing a book which the publishers are calling my "memoirs". The title is, " I Married An Angel." This a story of my marriage of 63 years to my wonderful wife who died on our wedding anniversary date of June 9th, 2008. We had a great marriage and a great life together which did not seem like 63 years, at all.
After 5 drafts, I believe I have finally finished it yesterday. If nothing else, I feel a moral victory having typed most of it myself. To think that after 90 years, I was able to learn to type and use the computer. This was a tremendous help especially since my handwriting is getting worse. I was surprised one day when I wrote a letter to my grandson, and he could not read it. He could read the typed words but not my cursive. To think that all the hours and days that I spent in my early school days, learning to be able to write the alphabet.
Back to the book. I will be going, in 2 weeks, to a class at the local high school given by a publisher on how to publish a book. I plan to take my manuscript along, and perhaps she might take a look at it.
Earlier I sent an earlier draft copy to a music publisher, and he said I had an incredible story to tell, but that they only published music.
Several of my previous Blogs are part of the book. However, my book has finally grown to 75 pages long. That is without photos, which I would like to include.
I will keep all of you informed as things progress. By the way, I appreciate any comments, help, prayers or suggestions, please let me know your thoughts.
