Uhhh … THANKS, Affordable Dentures.

Hearing from you really made my birthday happier.

Seriously, though, thanks to all the supercool, funny and thoughtful people who made my day brighter with messages either online or off.  This old man really appreciates it.  🙂

The Gathering 2025 and the Bards Poetica anthologies are now available at Amazon.

Care to lay hands on some poetry for the cooler days ahead?  Two new anthologies from Local Gems Press are now available at Amazon.

Gathering 2025 can be found here.  (If you happen to order a copy, please check out my poem, “As Silver as the Stars You Tried to Rival.”)

Bards Poetica can be found right here.  (If you order a copy of this book, I hope you’ll enjoy my poem, “Confession.”)

Have a great weekend!  🙂
