Early Release for A Heart Made of Tissue Paper

 

“Warm hand on my cheek. Soft lips press against my own. You taste of cherries.”  ― Richelle E. Goodrich, A Heart Made of Tissue Paper

Early Release      Well, I did it again.        My latest book, A Heart Made of Tissue Paper, was scheduled to be released on September 16th, 2023, but due to a minor mistake made in the Amazon publishing process, the book was released early on August 14th, 2023. (I need to remember which buttons not to push!) Luckily, the formatting, editing, illustrations, and poetry were complete, so this early release poses no problem. It simply means readers have access to my new book sooner than planned. Yay, you!

What to Expect

What can you expect from my first complete book of poetry? Eighty-six original poems penned by me. Experience heartfelt verses relatable on a deep level as well as poetry meant simply to make you smile. This book is divided into seven chapters, each one touching on a specific emotion felt by the human heart. For example, the chapter titled TO LOVE includes a dozen poems about the emotions dealing with aspects of love. The chapter titled TO LOATH includes poetry touching on harsher experiences. Every chapter includes a variety of poetic styles from sonnets and free verse to cinquains, haikus, and other formats. It is poetry for the whole of humanity.        A Heart Made of Tissue Paper is now available to order on Amazon in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle formats. Look for my book of poetry online at Barnes & Noble too.        I hope you get a chance to read and enjoy the variety of verses I compiled in this book. If you do... please, leave a positive rating and a short review on Amazon and Goodreads. It truly does help sell more copies. Thank you in advance! There is a woman named Sage Rosemary Who works her green thumb at the nursery. Her older brother, Forest, Became a retail florist. Their sister, Holly, owns a fernery.

What am I working on now?      I am writing a few short stories for another book similar to Smile Anyway. It includes 365 original quotes, poems, and short stories for every day of the year. I am considering ideas for the cover art of this book, which will be titled Hope Evermore.

Recent Reads

I read this book in high school as an English class assignment, but this time around the book held deeper meaning for me. The fictional societal conditions created by Ray Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451 are highly effective in suggesting what tragedies might exist at the far end of any road that promises to eliminate hard work and thinking in exchange for an easy, painless existence. It certainly gives good reasons to appreciate the richness of culture, the depth of knowledge, the creative and imaginative growth that books afford us. It would be a tragedy to lose what we have gained from the past, vital lessons recorded in the pages of books.
