Dear Blogger Friends,
Today I received word that Picaro Press (an offshoot of Ginninderra Press in South Australia) have agreed to publish a chapbook of 24 of my poems. It is themed around my year of cancer treatment and the loss of my friend to cancer.
I am so excited that they have agreed to do this. They have warned me that it may take as long as 12 months to actually get to print (depending partially on how quickly I do all the work that’s required, I guess).
One of the upshots of this is that I may have to reveal my true identity!!!!
Anyway, I want to thank you all for your support and help the last couple of years. This community sure has been a boost for my confidence and has helped me find avenues I never would have found on my own. Most sincere thanks!
You are AMAZING – I can’t wait to see your chapbook published 🙂

That so exciting, Wormsie. Put me down for two chapbooks. One for me and a friend. I insist on them being signed by the poet herself. 🙂 ❤
