My 2 Cents –
I’m Gen X. That damn song is practically the anthem of my generation. And it’s been updated with this cover. It breaks my heart. But it is so freaking right.
Serena decided to do a book similar to my own Anthology Alumni. Hers is all short stories. She chose not to include the ones that are pieces of extended stories.
If you are interested here is the link. It is due to release September 22.
Second, she is going to be working on a 3rd poetry volume. We will let you know when it is available… but here is the cover for it….
And if you have not gotten it…her second one, Blood Red Rain is out for preorder with an August 25 release date.
My new (and first) poetry collection, The Comment Poems published by Raw Earth Ink is scheduled for release. It will be available in both print and e-book versions from Lulu. The Comment Poems_paperback The Comment Poems_e-book IT’S REAL AND IT’S COMING JULY 24, 2023
