by Barbie Angell on September 23rd, 2012

UPDATE The website for my book has been launched.

So, if you’re planning to get a copy of the book, now would be the time. The extras which are on [...]

Since I can’t write each of you a poem for Christmas, I thought I’d share some of the pieces I’ve written for other people this year….I hope it’s not too cheap a gift, but I am a struggling writer after all. : ) If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, or have ever met [...]

some children's poems….
