Production on ‘Dear Thursday…’ is under way. After first preparing the Word file for the e-book version, I copied the contents into InDesign, then generated the interior PDF, which I have uploaded to IngramSpark (along with the cover, which you can see below) to start the process.
My target date for publication is November 27th—which will be ‘Cyber Monday’ this year. The pertinent information appears below.
The print edition of 8: Eight-word Poems is now officially available! I do not have any copies myself yet, but the book is available for ordering on Amazon and Barnes & Noble—and Barnes & Noble is still discounting it at $13.86. The links appear below…

Files for the e-book editions have been uploaded to Smashwords and Kindle Direct Publishing for review. I have also uploaded a slightly revised interior to IngramSpark, since I found a numbering error as I was formatting the e-book documents—just the excuse I needed to fix the remaining seven-word poem (which is now eight), and make a word substitution to another poem (so it would make more sense).
I have set up the e-book editions to become available on 27 October from Smashwords and several Amazon sites (US, UK, India, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Japan, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Australia); they should be available for pre-ordering next week.
The pre-order links and preliminary info from the last update are repeated below.
