After yesterday's excitement*, it was kind of nice to embrace my solitary life again, with lapping cat and freshly baked bread.

*Lisa sending me a photo someone at the World Fantasy Convention had taken of our book of illustrated stories & poems almost rubbing spines with two Pratchett books.

Man o man o man.

Lisa Snellings and I occupy the same shelf space as Terry Bloody Pratchett, at the World Fantasy Con.

Now that is something truly beyond my wildest dreams.

I hope nobody who sees this will mind but the book that visual artist Lisa Snellings and I have been working on for more than a year is finally in the Amazon store.
We self-published the book and though we kept it very close to the lowest price that the KDP program allowed, it is quite expensive.
You get that when you add around 60 colour images to the 52 stories and poems...

Here's another short story from the soonish-to-be-published book, with art by Lisa Snellings and words by me.
Enjoy.

(Another poem, by me, and art work by Lisa Snellings, for our upcoming book, 'No Other Season'; 52 poems and short stories, each inspired and accompanied by one piece of art by Lisa.)

The fertile soil

Like flowers and
nightmares
take to fertile soil

so do you
as you see me
as you see yourself

and you may see
the beauty in us
or recoil.
