I'm on Amazon

A few years ago,  "Buttons," a poem about my grandparents was included in an anthology titled From the Porch Swing published by Silver Boomer Books.  I even got paid $5.00 for my submission - my first money ever as a writer.  At the time, I had no idea this sweet little book would be read by very many people.  Then a few months ago, an email arrived asking for my permission to include my poem in the e-book version of From the Porch Swing on Amazon. Of course I jumped at the chance.

Today is the first day it is available, and until Saturday, January 5th you can download it for free.  Go on, I know you want to read "Buttons." 

Happy New Year!
