Well, today is the big day! I’m finally joining the ranks of the 10% of people who say they’re going to publish a book and actually do. I’m not entirely sure if those statistics are still accurate, but I did once read that, and it’s motivated me ever since to be one of few to do it.
I love a good challenge, I always have and I always will. And if you love a good poetry book, feel free to peruse mine. It’s all about passion, desire, and love, which are just about the best subjects around, don’t you think?
I really have no idea what to expect since this is my first time releasing a book, but I’m quite excited to see what happens. I think I’m likely to pee my pants if anyone actually decides to leave me a rave review this month. Lol… Anyway, happy reading if you do choose to get yourself a copy. I’ll be overjoyed, to say the least, if you do. 😉

I ordered my book yesterday, but got a chance to read some of it on the kindle cloud reader. I’m so excited… I hope your having a wonderful day!

I hope you have a wonderful week as well. “Shall We” is my earlier favorite for now… I already know, I’m going to enjoy the book. Just promise me, I won’t get teary-eyed…lol… I know I know! if you did, then chances are I will too:)

Oh I’m shaking my head right now because I just left you a comment and somehow the whole thing was erased instead of sending. Lol… So here I go, I’ll try again. 😉
I’m excited that you’ve already read some of my book and even picked out an initial favorite! I haven’t read my older poems in such a long time, so I had to look up “Shall We” and I have to agree I really love that one too. Some things never change and that one still kinda sums me up in so many ways.
And you know I can’t promise you that you won’t get teary-eyed when you read it because isn’t that what a good book is supposed to do? Lol… 😉
My favorite poem of yours so far is Trusting the Beginning because it made me ponder the deeper meaning and reflect on my own beliefs. You always have a way of doing that with your writing, which really draws me in a captures my attention. I think I’ll likely finish your book tomorrow. I read slower when it comes to poetry because I like to pause and take every word in.
Ok, I’m gonna hit send now! This time it better go! Lol… 😉

Miss Magnetic ~M,
lol…it made it safely to me this time. And I am so glad:)
Since your book is good and I can expect to be teary-eyed, you won’t think less of me, because it will be your fault. lol
Trusting the beginning kinda shook me, when I first ponder that I trusted my mother as my mother. I do not remember the hospital I was born in. That is a whole story! That is a sit down over breakfast discussion. I am glad it made you ponder. I tend to want to leave room for others interpretation. I sometime fall short of that. I really appreciate you. Your kindness shall never be forgotten.

Awww…. Walt, you just made my whole day, month, year! I guess I really am going to have to dedicate a book to you now, just for being so darn sweet. I wrestled with Him… In fact, it was rewritten about a dozen times. Almost gave up at one point. Lol… Glad you enjoyed it. Your support means the world to me. Thank you so so much. 😉 ❤️
