April 21, 2024Of course I read this book--probably a thousand times while getting it ready to publish. I had a difficult time organizing the 46 poems, 12 short stories and 9 non-fiction accounts because they are all so different.
I hope you find something that delights, amuses, or entertains you. I'm sorry the book is only available as paper. The poems simply didn't translate well on e-book pages.
Thanks for being a Goodreads friend!
