I am thrilled to announce and reveal that I have sent to Helen at Silverwood books, a manuscript for my second book! We are aiming for spring 2010 for publication. The title is to be On Calico Wings (taken from the opening poem).

Below is a snippet of the synopsis;

'Firstly, a short explanation of how this book came to be, as I had initially planned two separate books - one on emotions and one on conflict poetry. However, on thinking long and hard on it, and by talking to Helen at Silverwood Books, I decided to combine them into one volume. My style of conflict poetry relates itself very strongly to the myriad of emotions conflict entails - so it made sense. At first, I was going to 'block' the book into Part one, Part two etc. Again after doing some thinking, I decided to make it more fluid than that, by having softer Italic headings for the different poetry as one 'travels' through the book.'

With pride and pleasure I announce that a poem of mine - Empty Teacups - was one of the winners in the Forces Poetry (FLOW for All) competition for 2009! This follows on from having had Absolution in their first anthology last year. The anthology is called Poems of the Poppies (Poetry anthology Volume 1). The great news this year is that a sister book of Forces Stories has also been published! Both books are published by Silverwood Books and can be ordered now! Please visit their site for further details; www.silverwoodbooks.co.uk The official launch is 27th march 3.00 pm. Jubilee Library, Brighton.
