We had Wendy Ulmer, the author of A Campfire For Cowboy Billy come and visit. She started writing when she was about our age. She started writing about silverware that came alive. Wendy kept writing from then until she grew up. She even wrote when she became a mother. Wendy is still writing.

	This paper is is a rejection slip. It told her to change the story a little but, they liked her writing.
This is an acceptance paper for a short story in a magazine.

	Wendy Ulmer is showing us the cover of A Campfire For Cowboy Billy. She is about to read us the story. The idea came from her dad because Billy's father died and her father died. Her father's name was Bill and he loved cowboys. He even dressed like a cowboy.
Wendy is showing us a picture of the Grandfather and his Grandson on the roof and they are watching the clouds. Then the little boy's Grandfather died and the little boy went all alone and watched the clouds.

When the boy went alone he said some things to his grandfather. This is what he said, "I love you Grandfather." It was a good story and some parts of the book were funny.

Thank you for coming Wendy Ulmer and reading the story to us.

When Wendy is not writing books, she is a Music teacher at Morse High School in Bath.
