I automatically assumed that was your first book... No clue why, come to think about it 🤔

I happened to check your website link last night though, and was shocked at the number of releases you have. I actually read the few pages that Amazon allows and decided I far prefer the idea of starting with, sorry I'm gonna butcher the name but have saved it for later, "Poems from the precipice of Armageddon" (told you I'd butcher it, but memorised the flavour)

So, in many ways you have strode forward more than most and actually committed to the writing, learning curve and learning to upload, promote and market, kudos to you! Many live in the opposite state of "show don't tell", I'm talking to you in the mirror!!! I think we were perhaps not ready for some of the bigger answers in our 20's, maybe wouldn't have had the time or wisdom to see things through.

chasing success, hungry, no clear idea of where I was heading.

I bet if you honed those 2026 goals now, you would be far more equipped and articulate with them, could be extremely exciting.

Performing not living, yeah, absolutely, not sure about the other species, but that definitely seems to be an intrinsic human trait.

Yeah I had several friends I spoke with over years, I look them up when I am back on chain, I did it last night, to the usual, hasn't posted in 4 years, often more, sad.

Ah, the big Swan song post is for those needing the waves and applause, far better to leave the door ajar, so you can pop in and update us on the next stage of the adventure's'

Sometimes that can provide a spark to others to take some action and follow through I'm talking to you in the mirror again...Pay attention!

Take good care and be well, fabulous to cross paths.
