I am taking the day off from my normal writing schedule to do some weeding in my flower gardens and I set up some lights that will come on at night to illuminate the beautiful lilies, hosta, and other blooming plants right now. It will be fun to see them all come on at dusk every evening. All of my flower gardens are flourishing after the months of rain we have received this year. While my gardening’s are bursting with blossoms, so am I – bursting with the gestation of new life in the form of my next book.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>With the 3<sup>rd</sup> book coming out very soon, we are just about ready to drop it on Amazon. I want to do one final look over the final draft – just because I am obsessive about all the little details. <i><span style='color:red'>Star Signs: New & Selected Poems</span></i><span style='color:red'> </span> has over 50 poems in it that span my professional career as a writer, beginning in the mid-1980s. I included my first published poem at the end of the book, in the “Meet the Author” section. I thought it was appropriate to end the book at the beginning of my publication life. Poems in the book include ones that I wrote this year, as late as in June, so the book would be timely and fresh. By including some very early poems, I’ve given readers an inside view of my thoughts, influences in my writing life, themes, and interests for the past 34 years<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'> I’ve also included a small collection of my photos – one is placed at the beginning of each of the book’s 4 sections. And, the cover photography was done by one of the best photographers in America – I’ll keep that for a surprise until the book hits the market in a few more days. The book has received some powerful endorsements, pre-publication, and I am most grateful for this support and enthusiasm.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>While doing all of the final work on the new book, I took time to allow SMASHWORDS to include my last book in their month-long Summer Sale – <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>Walking by Inner Vision: Stories & Poems, can be ordered from SMASHWORDS for the month of JULY, at ½ off the e-book price.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif'>That means – for 2 Bucks, you can read my book!
