International Betty MacDonald fan club event 2015

Betty MacDonald fans,

we hope Betty MacDonald fan club organizer Linde Lund survived her very dangerous Christmas.

Comparing to Linde's Christmas ours was very quiete and peaceful.

Winter has arrived with lots of snow.

I'm rereading The Egg and I by Betty MacDonald.

Do you remember? Betty MacDonald had a very hard time - especially during Winter.

I enjoy the new Mr. Tigerli very much. I wonder what happend to Mr. Tigerli's very nice girl friends, Natalie from Cascada and the Russian beauty.

I don't like Mr. Tigerli's new girl friend at all.

Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Letizia Mancino created a an outstanding Betty MacDonald Gallery.

Artist and author Letizia Mancino was a very close friend of world famous poet Hilde Domin.

There will be an international Betty MacDonald fan club Conference in 2015.

We hope we are going to meet Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel and other Betty MacDonald fan club honor members.

See this rather crazy video on Linde Lund's page.

Dear Betty MacDonald fan club fans, that's not my cup of tea!

Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli is back and we are so happy about it.

Why did Mr. Tigerli change so much? He is madly in love with Ms. P.  

Is our casanova a psycho now?

Don't miss breakfast at the bookstore with Brad and Nick, please.

Betty MacDonald fan club founder Wolfgang Hampel has been interviewed for next Betty MacDonald fan club newsletter.

Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli's new love affair

Betty MacDonald fan club fans,

Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mr. Tigerli is back with a new very hot love affair written by Betty MacDonald fan club honor member, artist and author Letizia Mancino. 

Betty MacDonald fan club honor member Mary Holmes translated it in English language.

Thanks a million dearest Letizia Mancino, Mary Holmes and not to forget our unique Mr. Tigerli in the name of many Betty MacDonald fan club fans in 5 continents.

Read and enjoy this new outstanding Mr. Tigerli story!

Love,

Greta

Mr. Tigerli’s new love

Mr. Tigerli isn’t flying to London!

That’s a pity!

Mary Holmes had offered to go with him. She was born in London.

Does the cat have a problem speaking English?

No, if he had an hour’s English lesson every day he would easily be able to carry on a conversation with Larry and Prince Charles.

He is so gifted!

But he is vain, Betty!

We can allow him that!!

But who pays the high bills for the cosmetics and the manicurists and hairdressers?

The Queen of England.

But he will not be one of her entourage anymore!

That’s such a shame! The Queen will be very disappointed.

He got himself so well prepared. I was so proud of him: every day he practiced at the Patton Barracks and Mark Twain Village in Heidelberg.

At the American Head Quarters?

Yes, but now there are just hundreds of acres of overgrown ground.

Have the Americans left?

Yes, but the mice are back.

The Houses of Parliament in London have been totally over-run with mice and can’t control them!

But now it’s all for nothing! Tigerli isn’t going to London!

He must have very serious reasons for this decision!

Very! The honour of going to present himself to the Queen didn’t seem to be important anymore.

What has happened?

I daren’t tell you the true story.

Come, Roman Nose, I’m sure I’m strong enough to bear it.

Perhaps not... and also it could be a problem for the fans!

Come!

He has disappeared!

Where’s he gone?

He’s not far from my studio. I have discovered that Mr.Tigerli is at my neighbour’s house.

Has it something to do with a girl?

That was my first thought.

Casanova!

My neighbour’s daughter is just 20 years old. Very curvatious, a very attractive redhead.

They are very dangerous!

But I have spoken with Alena’s mother and he isn’t interested in Alena!

That’s strange.

He is there to visit another woman in the house. Don’t get too much of a shock, Betty. She is a female python!

How terrible!

He is deeply in love with her: he stands under her window for hours like a Romeo. „But, come, what light through yonder window breaks? Come to the window my beautiful love“

A „Don Giovanni“.

A lost soul!

Does she show herself at the window?

No, she is not allowed to leave the house!

What does Tigerli find attractive about a cold snake?

Hot love! He doesn’t come to me any more for his food. The salmon remains in his bowl.

 A person who is in love does loose his appetite!

They eat together in the evening1

Mice from Patton Barracks?

No, deep-frozen rats from the firm Beaufreeze!

How romantic! By candle light?

Without. Tigeli’s eyes shine brightly enough!

Passionate love!

Hugging each other tightly!

Breathtakingly beautiful!

Breathtakingly!

Do you think he will stay with her forever?

She is the right woman for him. I can’t begin to tolerate these mice

A paradise for them!

Yes, Betty!

And if they marry?

We will invite all Mr. Tigerli’s friends to the wedding

World famous German-Austrian singer and composer Udo Jürgens passed away

Betty MacDonald fans,

it's a very sad day today.

World famous German-Austrian singer and composer Udo Jürgens passed away at the age of 80 today.

I'm really very sad because several family members including my dearest mother and I are huge Udo Jürgens fans.

We know that many Betty MacDonald fan club fans are also devoted Udo Jürgens fans.

Greetings from very sad Linde Lund

I can find several interviews with you. Which two ones do you prefer?

Here are two recent interviews. The second one is a "character interview" with the characters from my newest book, which is kind of fun.

http://hbsauthorspotlight.blogspot.com/2014/05/traci-hilton-author-interview-in-hbs.html

http://shannonvannatter.com/traci-tyne-hilton-character-interview-part-1-of-1/

 

This is a picture of me on my tenth wedding anniversary at The Betty MacDonald Farm on Vashon. My sweet husband planned our weekend away, but didn't realize that I actually wanted to STAY at the farm! But he did drive me there to see it before we went home, though. I'm pretty little in the picture, but if you look closely, you can see me by the door to the barn.

Which book by Betty MacDonald did you read first?

My mom gave me her copy of The Egg and I when I was about 11. It was my first taste of Betty Macdonald, but I was definitely hooked! I read it at least once a year until I was in my twenties and finally got around to finding the rest of her work at my library...and then collecting reprints.

What do you like most in Betty MacDonald's books?

I love her over the top humor paired with her brutally honest representation of life.

Is there anything you dislike in Betty MacDonald's books?

One could call her portrayal of the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest in the Egg and I racist, but she was a woman of her time, and the things she writes about, such as alcoholism, are not untrue. They are just reported with that brutal honesty that she also uses for her white neighbors--no one is safe from her sharp pen. So, it makes me a little uncomfortable to read, but at the same time, I think it is real (from her perspective at least, and her perspective is valid,) and I don't dislike it, if that makes sense.

Did you ever read Betty MacDonald's books for children for example The Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle series and Nancy and Plum?

Oh yes! I wish I had had them as kids, but I have been reading them to my kids which is even better! My sister in law bought me Nancy and Plum several years back, and I love it. I don't know why it's not a classic on par with the Secret Garden or the Little Princess! But...even better than Nancy and Plum are the Piggle Wiggle books. They crack my kids up, and were the first chapter books that my girls really devoured. They crack me up, too!

What is your favourite book by Betty MacDonald?

It is still The Egg and I. It's a book that formed so much of my opinion on fiction and held such an important part of my growing up--I don't think anything could beat it. My husband and I call snobby activities "The Theatah and the Dahnce" and I've been known to say "I itch, so I scratch, so what?"

Did Betty MacDonald influence you as author?

Absolutely. Though I write mysteries I want them to be funny, and I hold Betty MacDonald's work up as a standard for humor.

What do you think is the reason Betty MacDonald is beloved all over the world?

Betty's work gives us a glimpse into a world that we would have never known without her. Both life in the Olympic Mountains and on Vashon are so different from regular town and city life. I think readers love to escape, and the more remote the location, the more different the people we get to meet, the more we love the work! Betty's books help us all escape to a time that is getting farther and farther away, and a place that doesn't even exist anymore, but even when it did, it was unexpected, hilarious, and stunningly beautiful.

Dearest Traci I hope I don't bore with so many questions.

I wasn't a bit bored! Betty MacDonald is definitely my favorite author and I loved having a chance to talk about her work and why I love it so much!

As I already mentioned there are several Betty MacDonald fan club fans who enjoy your books very much.

That people who love Betty MacDonald also like my books is almost unbelievable to me, and really is a dream come true, as an author. When I was a young girl, curled up with her work, escaping to that remote egg farm, I never dreamed that someday people who loved her, would also enjoy what I had to say.

Dearest Traci thanks a million for this very interesting interview!

Lots of love to you and your family.

Lots of love to you, as well! Thank you.

Traci
