Well, I think Tim Green and I survived last night’s Barnes and Nobles reading, and even sold a few books. Despite the “shoplifting alarm” going off three times during my reading, and several toddlers screaming their heads off during Tim’s, I think the audience was friendly and welcoming and seemed fairly poetry-savvy. So that was nice. And it was good to hear poems from Tim’s book, “American Fractal,” out loud. I noticed we both read some “science-y” stuff, I believe both with combusting elements, which, you know, I’m for. More science in poetry – that’s what the kids today are into, right? LOL. I’m still not at the peak of my physical game, so standing for the reading was kind of painful (see: random foot/ankle injuries over the past few months,) but other than that, I thought it went pretty well.

Multi-Talented Reviewer

The lovely and talented Serena M. Agusto-Cox has posted a review of Becoming the Villainess at her site, Savvy Verse & Wit, here.
She also posted an interview with me here.
And she reviewed my book on Amazon!
So, really, a very hard-working reviewer and interviewer! Thanks Serena!

My focus now: send some poems out, send some book manuscripts out, get healthy, stay healthy.
Right now: Off to physical therapy for a look at my ankle. Then: More grading. I know, you’re saying, that’s too sexy and glamorous a lifestyle, Jeannine. Slow it down! What can I say? The poetry life is a thrill-a-minute.
