“A memoir about living your best life in a shit-show.
Ultimately a story of faith over fear and survival of a dream.”
Aimee Mayo is a Grammy-Nominated American songwriter & author, primarily known for writing country hits for artists such as Lonestar, Martina McBride, Sara Evans, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Kellie Pickler, & more. Mayo owns publishing company, Little Blue Typewriter Music.
Talking to the Sky is Mayo’s first book, 13 years in the making.
Aimee Mayo grew up in Gadsden, Alabama. According to her mother, Aimee always had a notebook with her and was constantly writing poetry. Her mother encouraged her to "shoot for the top" and she was signed as a songwriter with BMG while still a teenager. It was there that she met her husband, Chris Lindsey, with whom she has three children and resides in Nashville, Tennessee.
Hi! — The book and audiobook are DONE!!! It doesn't even feel real. The stars aligned on the cover designer. For over a decade, I've stressed and worried about the cover of the book. I couldn't get a vision for what it should be. I worked on this memoir for so long and even though you're not supposed to judge a book by the cover-- People do. It's the book's face. After months of emailing mediocre designers and getting rejected, (they only work with published authors on Random House, Harper Collins, etc.) I took a chance and reached out to the most famous book cover designer (and my favorite) Rodrigo Corral and after reading part of the memoir, he said YES! He's done some of the biggest bestselling books ever ( A Million Little Pieces, The Glass Castle, The Fault in Our Stars, and so many more). In four weeks- *JULY 29* he's sending the final artwork for the book-- then it goes straight to print YES! YES! YES! YAY! and I am sending the books out to YOU. Thank you to everyone who backed the book on Kickstarter — Thank you! Anyone that wants to order one now can off in the link on the web site.
I hope everyone is staying safe and having a fun summer!
PS I've worried and wondered what the cover would be for over a decade. I feel so blessed to have someone who has done tons of bestsellers. I'm so excited to see it — after so, so long. It is a real book. I'm curious what the concepts will be - just in case you love art and design like I do -- here's his website. http://rodrigocorral.com

“Aimee YOU CAN BE THE UNIVERSE TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN! I was a singer in the 80's with Dottie West when I was a teenager. I want to meet and sing a Grammy winning performance being a duet partner with Kenny Chesney he and I both sing with so much passion and heartfelt emotions and we choose songs that are about what we crave in our hearts and what is missing in our personal lives. I can see us on stage doing a remake of his song "Me and You" https://youtu.be/C-IRmBqiS38 or a remake of Kenny Rogers and Dottie West songs "What Are We Doing in Love" maybe a Loretta Lynn Conway Twitty song even go so far to write one together. I know this will happen We will become duet partners I ASKED I BELIEVE I KNOW WE BOTH WILL RECEIVE!!!” - BETH HOLLI.

“I'm 70 years old.... I "dreamed" all my life of a different life where I was a happy housewife with a handsome executive husband who lived in a nice suburban home with 3 kids instead of the reality that I was a scared gay kid, then fat ugly gay man trying to go through life living in a dream world.....then wake up one day to realize life happens to you while you are dreaming and you missed it. I dream this was only a dress rehearsal“ - Anonymous

“I talk to the sky too - I talk when nobody listens - I talk to god - I sometimes talk too much - I firmly believe our paths are directed by the grace of letting go of what no longer serves us - my journey is a long one - my dream is a long one - to keep becoming better and better at my songwriting - to keep learning from angels like yourself - to keep believing that one day I’m coming to Nashville - not to be a star that wasn’t born - just a woman with some songs and a few stories to tell.”
