<html><head><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"></head><body dir="auto">How exciting! Your year has been quite productive. I had forgotten that this week is JOY on the Advent scene. That is my middle name, literally! And that’s what I have been trying to do all my life… Bring a little joy to people I meet. I have it figured out my best route. Maybe you’ll never grow up and find out. Well best of everything to you and I would love to read your poem books. Are are you going to be accessible format someday? Somethings are better in braille. I’d like to get my hands on real copies of your poems.

It will come out in 2021 – over twice the size of the original and with additional photos, journal entries and back stories – The new book will have a new title, but don’t know what that will be yet.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">This year I’ve completed my second chapbook . this one has a Spring theme – and I do have a publisher who wants to do it – I’ll decide after the holidays on that. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The chapbook is <i>Primavera </i>– and will be the second in my series of 4 chapbooks.
