...The stone wall and the canon Met them with a fearful ROAR! They blew a kiss and whispered Love - The canon was no more. The stone wall raised its thorns As they silently approached - To them it was a gateway And blossoming vines encroached... Impostors are these archons? I have… Continue reading Excerpt (Poetry): “The Purest Generation”

I'm happy to report I've received my first rejection for the cozy mystery! Now, you're probably wondering why rejection would make me happy. Firstly, it's part of the job.
