Working on getting better at self-promotion, so…
In case you are still looking for that year-end/holiday gift for someone—books! I have several…
Updates
My books and where to buy them
For your consideration as we enter this holiday season (and beyond):
Here is the updated list of my books and purchase links. The Amazon listings usually have a decent preview of the print editions. Check them out, yo.
Additionally, because the full-color edition of This Is Fifty-three and Coffee Stains are available through IngramSpark, you should be able to have your local bookstore order copies, if you prefer to shop local.
Year-end eBook Sale
In the wake of this year’s election catastrophe (whether your candidate won or lost, I think we can all agree that the whole thing was a huge mess), the holidays are once again upon us. Since I have not been very good about pushing my several collections of poetry for personal consumption, here is where I jump on that particular bandwagon…
From now through December 31st, all of my e-books can be had for $1.99 each—in your choice of ePub or Kindle format—through Smashwords. Basically, that’s 50% off the regular price for everything except This Is Fifty-three and ‘Dear Monday…’, and 60% off the regular price of those two titles. Continue reading

As I wait for my new IngramSpark proof, I have set about making further adjustments to the CreateSpace files. Continue reading

This Is Fifty-three redux #7
My printed proof from IngramSpark arrived today, so I can now compare with the CreateSpace-printed copies I already have.
Now, I’m too tired to take photos right now (insomnia), so I will either add later, or post separately. In the meantime, here is what I am noticing: Continue reading

This Is Fifty-three redux #6
Okay, that’s much better! The updated electronic proof from IngramSpark now matches the PDF I uploaded, and the printed proof I ordered late last week is due to arrive tomorrow.

This Is Fifty-three redux #5
Argh! The electronic proof generated from my corrected file was ready this morning—and it was exactly the same as the file it was supposed to replace. That is, the Secrets and Delicates sections are still reversed. Here is a sample page:
Clearly, that is not page 288. Here is what page 288 should be:
