It’s not every day this happens to me. In fact, it has never happened before.
But this is the first time I’ve published a real book…
So here’s another honor, another interview: words said differently about
ordinary me graciously acknowledging the greatest accolades of my life,
thanks to this spectacular community of writers.
Like I’ve said before, this WordPress writing community is by far the best–
Best of The Best, really.
This is by far the greatest honor, as it’s at Colleen Chesebro’s Tanka Tuesday
community, where I felt completely welcome once I made the switch.
Thanks, Colleen: from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
Colleen’s post will do the trick for those who have not heard about me, and
In The Shadow of Rainbows, publisher EIF.
Dear readers, please continue reading…
And if you haven’t heard about this amazing human, her amazing community and
kindness, here’s a synopsis:
An avid reader, Colleen M. Chesebro rekindled her love of writing poetry after years
spent working in the accounting industry. These days, she loves crafting syllabic
poetry, flash fiction, and creative fiction and nonfiction. In addition to poetry books,
Chesebro’s publishing career includes participation in various anthologies featuring
short stories, flash fiction, and poetry.
She’s an avid supporter of her writing community on Word Craft Poetry.com by
organizing and sponsoring a weekly syllabic poetry challenge called #TankaTuesday,
where participants experiment with traditional and current forms of Japanese and
American syllabic poetry.
Chesebro is an assistant editor of The Congress of the Rough Writers Flash Fiction
Anthology & Gitty Up Press, a micro-press founded by Charli Mills and Carrot Ranch.
In January 2022, Colleen founded Unicorn Cats Publishing Services to assist poets
and authors in creating eBooks and print books for publication.
In addition, she creates affordable book covers for Kindle and print books. Chesebro
lives in the house of her dreams in mid-Michigan surrounded by the Great Lakes with
her husband and two (unicorn) cats, Chloe & Sophie.
Please continue reading the interview here, dear friends.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
I wish you miracles.
