Social Possibilities – AVAILABLE NOW!!

I’ve been waiting for this one, so I’m happy to finally announce that Lisa and her team have produced another wonderful anthology!!

This is a timely publication as we are all experiencing “a time of heightened uncertainty and distress.” Editor Zaneta V. Johns addresses the need for the “betterment of our global community.” These pieces, I’m sure, will leave us feeling more hopeful about our future.

Can’t wait to read the works of all the talented poets who grace these pages!

You can purchase it directly from the Prolific Pulse website at a discounted rate or get it from Amazon.

Natures Discovered – COMING SOON!

Here in Seattle, I am still working diligently to have Volume 3 (paperback and eBook) published by the end of April, and I believe I am on track to succeed. :) The eBook is giving me a few headaches though – formatting it sucks!! Fellow book self-publishers will understand. lol

Keep your eyes open, the publication will hit before you know it!

TRANQUILITY: AN ANTHOLOGY OF HAIKU – SOON!

Produced by Literary Revelations

Expect to see it available in mid-April! I’m so excited!

Great News!!

How wonderful for myself and all those accepted into another relevant publication by ProlificPulse.com, slated to come out in June 2025!

This anthology asked us to focus on the possibilities that can happen to improve social change. How we try to bring hope to the table. I’m looking forward to reading my copy to see how other humans try to do that.

I want to thank Lisa and her team for accepting my work for this anthology. It’s always a cool feeling to hear when someone (especially a colleague in the field) appreciates your thoughts! There is no doubt in my mind that I will be in good company. They do a great job of curating the best!

Rising Published on MasticadoresUSA!

Life is hard; we all know this. But I always hope that each of us retains a bit of hope and strength to get through the bad times. I’m sure that most of the readers who visit here, know that about me. This piece, which I’m so happy that Gabriela Milton, Editor of MasticadoresUSA, has accepted for publication, speaks about the heaviness of days gone wrong and the determination in spite of it. Enjoy!

Rising

already exhausted upon awakening
the day begins anew

while the brain is slow
the body is even slower

what weighs me down
isn’t easily lifted…

Please read the rest of the piece at MasticadoresUSA
