It’s the day before publication day and like Nina Simone, I’m feeling good. I’m feeling great to be honest. If you write stuff, what can be better than seeing your work in a book with an ISBN and everything?

My latest poetry pamphlet Loose Threads and Sacred Spaces has already started selling via my website and I’m getting positive feedback on the content and the beautiful design.
