HOT FLASH QUESTIONNAIRE
I started the Hot Flash book in 2003 and was interrupted by my big mid-life change: moving to the West Coast and living my life as a single woman again. Finally I am ready to complete this very important project, and am looking for additional contributors of images and thoughts. The following questionnaire may help to direct your thinking. Feel Free to share this with others, and to answer questions I haven’t asked. I am interested in hearing from all kinds of people, about all kinds of experiences. I am hoping that this book will be beautiful and inspiring...the kind of book I would like to find and buy. Accepted contributors will receive a complimentary copy of the finished book.

Please email me with any questions, send images with as much detail as possible (good quality jpg’s or tiffs can be burned to a CD and mailed) Send a picture of yourself and contact information as well…I will edit. The picture of you in the book will be black and white and 2” wide, just the face.
Sending your information and images to me will imply that you agree to participate in the book. Each participant will receive a copy of the finished book, so include mailing information. I’ll list your web site or email address as contact information for you. I plan publication in the late summer of 2010, so I can debut the book at Art-Is-You in CT in October. Thank you! Pamela
