\nAugust 30, 2019<\/p>\n

Hi Friends,
\nAugust is such a wonderful month for me! <\/strong><\/p>\n

I hate to say \u201cgood-bye\u201d to August every year at this time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I just celebrated my 76th birthday 3 days ago and I\u2019m still in the celebrating mindset. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My sister, Patti, came for the day and we had Italian food at a local Italian restaurant in Ellwood City. She brought me a bouquet of flowers from her garden and she also brought CUPCAKES! Who would not be happy with that!
\nBob joined us for the day and it was really a nice birthday for me.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of highlights from this month:<\/strong><\/p>\n

First, my newest book, Star Signs: New & Selected Poems, is on Amazon and other book selling sites.<\/em><\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m getting positive and encouraging responses from those who are reading the book \u2013 which makes me so happy.
\nIt is a collection of 56 poems, 145 pages \u2013 and my poems cover a wide range from some I wrote as an undergrad student at Slippery Rock University of PA in the mid-80s \u2013 and others are brand new, written just for this book. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The holidays are not-so-far-away now, so I hope you might like to purchase a few copies to give for gifts this year. Several people have contacted me and want me to sign the books they will be gifting and I can do that for you \u2013 just let me know how many you want and send me a list of the names you want put into the book.
\n <\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, I had another wonderful surprise. My interview with the amazing author, A. L. butcher, was published.<\/p>\n

I think you may know a lot more about me after you read this interview. I appreciate the opportunity of sharing my life with friends in this way. Thank you, A.J. Butcher, for this feature article. I really enjoyed doing it with you.<\/p>\n
