I was going to write up something so that everyone could get an idea of what’s going on with my new book, but Erin Scholze, of Dreamspider Publicity, said it so well that I cannot improve upon it….so I posted it below. My unending thanks to Erin. Preview the book at www.RoastingQuestions.com A delightful book [...]

UPDATE The website for my book has been launched. Since my publisher is a non-profit organization, Roasting Questions will be sent to press once pre-sales have raised enough money to cover the printing costs. 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 [...]

The words fall from my pen and yet they make no sense. The syntax is a jumbled mess, I’ve lost the present tense. The rhymes are all approximate. The images contrived. I was a fool to ever let my conscience be my guide. The coffee stirs up memories and dreams I’ve tucked away. I know [...]

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1″; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’)); I don’t usually explain my poems unless someone asks about something specific. When that happens I always answer as honestly as I can. This first poem, however, has a [...]
