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.'
