My new poetry book Lines at the Amusement Rides is now available for purchase in paperback on Amazon and I couldn’t be more excited. I love writing in general, but my inspiration to write more and more poetry has been running away with me lately. This new collection is funny, nostalgic, oddball-ish, romantic, quirky, and a little bit old school beatnik. Thanks to Potter’s Grove Press for accepting my submission and making this possible. Going paperless? Grab your Kindle preorder here on Amazon today!

Absolutely! (As long as it’s nothing profane or offensive 😄) I’m sure it wouldn’t be, but it’s good to mention. Just send me whatever poem wins 🥇

Also, as I will be doing a comp every Thursday, do you think it would be better to gather up all the winners work from one month and publish it in a book? Or would you prefer to publish it single? Please let me know!

I believe they take straight submissions but have a backlog currently because I wanted to submit something else

Okay, so is there any poem collection book that you are writing? Then you can add their poem with their name in it.

The books I’m working on now are all theme based on ideas, so I don’t think they’d work with those. The only publisher I know is the one I worked with on this release. If I ever do an author complication though I’ll be sure to reach out!

Wow, thank you very much for the support!! 🙏😄 Lines was a blast to write, I’m very happy that River was interested in putting it out through his press. Do you have any works I could take a look at as well?

You’re welcome.
I recently read Static dreams, a collection of short stories by different authors (River has his hand in it too), and I thought it was brilliant.
I LOVE Susan Richardson; she has a poem collection coming out by Potter’s Grove Press soon, so make sure you grab a copy. It’s some of the best poetry on the net. In the meantime, you can find her here:

I LOVE Basilike Pappa too. She’s truly a unique writer.

WAYS WE VANISH by Todd Dillard I recently read made a lasting impression. Wow is all I can say.

Static Dreams was wonderful, I agree! River’s Left Waiting I also devoured. Thank you so much for the suggestions, I am always on the hunt for great indie reads! I’ll let you know my thoughts when I finish, I’m sure they’re all excellent.
