Schulz brothers have their say

Since losing her husband to colon cancer, Katie Couric has urged people over 50 to have a colonoscopy. Monte Schulz lost his father to colon cancer, and he made this PSA for the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance.

Since the death of Charles M. Schulz, Monte has been writing novels and his brother Craig has been in charge of their father’s studio, Creative Associates. Craig talks about the studio’s new DVD, Happiness is a Warm Blanket with Geek To Me at this link. Check the AAUGH Blog for a review and more information.

  • Rheta Grimsley Johnson has a new book called Enchanted Evening Barbie & the Second Coming: A Memoir. My copy arrived from Amazon a few days ago.

Rheta recently spoke at the Sixth Annual Clarksville Writer’s Conference in Tennessee.
