Words From The Webmaster:
With all my other talents, I can now add "construction worker" to the list! Yes, work on the Emmy Lou Candles Shop is in progress! It will be open in late Fall. The Emmy Lou Candles Shop is a real, honest-to-goodness store where you can come and buy Emmy Lou Candles! Emmy Lou Candles has been doing shows at various craft bazaars, fairs, and on its own ticket for well over a year now, and we just decided it was time to open a shop. This will be a very special shop, because our emphasis is on "pretty". We know that buying candles should be a pleasant experience, and the Emmy Lou Candles Shop will reflect that. It will be a very attractive store, set in the country at the Whipple homestead!
My brother Ryan is the "chief" construction worker. He's the one with carpentry talent and does all the technical stuff. I help out with the "grunt", physical stuff. And mother Carol, Miss "Emmy Lou Candles" herself? She has the daunting task of supervising. Seriously, though, she was a huge part in designing what she wanted for the shop. There was a lot of thought put into the layout of the building. The showroom will really knock your socks off!
More about Ryan...I'm very happy to announce "Freedom Air", a new feature in this newsletter. It's my brother's airplane maintenance business. He's a supremely talented mechanic, and he also has an IA (Inspector's Authorization). Ryan can do things to fix planes that you just wouldn't believe possible. It's hard to find good airplane mechanics nowadays, and Ryan is a great one. I've seen him work, so I know what I'm talking about. If you're up to flying your plane to Eastern Iowa, look up "Freedom Air" and give Ryan a call, or drop him a note. It's definitely worth the trip. You'll find much more information in the feature. When you contact Ryan, tell him Polar Blair sent you!
I promised you a really good newsletter this month, and MAN does this have content! There's been a lot of exciting things happening in and out of Polar Blair's Den the past thirty days. Many additions and updates have been made in various Departments. I also brought in two new Departments, Holidays and Puppets! Holidays will discuss, in depth, many holidays American and foreign. For this month, I've added Thanksgiving. Puppets is another fun Department. I love puppets. Few things are funnier. Some puppets are very simple in design, others are extremely complicated to work with. ALL of them present interesting personalities. This Department will talk about all the greats!
Yes, I wrote a book. With an actress, yet! Quinn O'Hara and I really had a blast with "Copper & the Great JoJo Mystery". We feel it's certainly an original kind of book, and one that cat and dog lovers will take to as soon as they turn to the first page. It's written for all audiences. Kids can read it...it's all clean humor...but we did write it with more of a "grown up" sensibility. You have to know what it's like to be a pet owner to really get the significance of it all.
"Copper & the Great JoJo Mystery" is the first book to be published by Polar Blair's Den. Yep, PBD is a publisher now. I hope to publish many more books, fiction and non-fiction. Since PBD is a very new publisher, it's currently a small operation. It WILL grow, but I'm not really concerned with making Polar Blair's Den a leading publisher. Whatever happens, happens. I just want to produce great, interesting books that I think people will really enjoy and make some kind of profit. I'm very interested in publishing books of original, untapped subject matter. I don't want to put out the same kind of cookie cutter literature that a lot of publishers do. I'll keep you informed about the publishing aspect of Polar Blair's Den as things develop. In the meantime, check out "Copper & the Great JoJo Mystery". I really hope you like what you see!
Another neat thing I wanted to share with you this month is about a man named Bill Chott. He's a comedic actor whom I've enjoyed for years, first on TVs "The Dana Carvey Show", and in numerous movie appearances. You've most likely seen him, but don't know him by name. Currently, he does stand-up comedy and improv, and has developed quite a following. Bill is a top contender for the role of Curly in a new "Three Stooges" major feature film, to be directed by the popular Farrelly Brothers. He thinks, as a lot of people do, that he's just about got it. However, he needs our help. Bill needs your letters of support to the "powers that be" that he would make a good Curly. He has the look, he has the talent, he just needs your voice. I gave him a spot in the Movies section of this month's newsletter. Check it out to see what you can do!
This month's edition of the PBD Really Fun Newsletter is a real thriller. I hope you like what you see. Expect more big fun and surprises in the newsletter for next month, and every month. I thank all of you for your continuing interest and support!

One of my proudest additions for this month is Fawcett's classic "Nyoka the Jungle Girl" series, which ran from 1942 to 1953. It's not a superhero series, just an adventure series. Nyoka was different from the Sheena-like jungle girls as she was an explorer. Interesting, light-hearted action tales. She was the first character from a movie serial to be put into comic books.

Construction is underway for the fantastic new Emmy Lou Candles Shop,
coming your way in late Fall
of this year! You will actually be able to come to a real store,
set in a pleasant country location, and buy Emmy Lou Candles!
What you see below is a photo of the early stages of this shop's
construction. The shop is being converted from an old two-car
garage into something really pretty and spectacular. A new
feature is in development that will show you a day-by-day account of
this shop's "birth".
In the meantime, you CAN buy Emmy Lou Candles over the Internet. If you have any questions, please ask.
