Venues... and Destenie....

2011 was a good year to me because I got four releases
before the year was over. I released my first short story
on Nook by Barnes & Noble and I-book by Apple called
"Ernie's Beginning: An excerpt from 
Lady Angela's Place"  which is part of a short story
collection, as well as "Common Ground: Music and 
Literature In The Romantic Era" which is an essay
referring to the two mediums and showing relations
between them in that period. Both releases are out now.

The other two releases are On Mended Wings: 
An Anthology benefitting NAMI 
and of course, the one that started it all,
A Voice Over Time.  They are both in bookstores
online and will be at your request at retailers listed.


 Since then, I have been featured in 3 literary magazines.
  I have been featured in New Age Venus ,  The Write Place
At The Write Time as well as Voices De La Luna in San Antonio,
Texas.

Now, I am slowly but surely getting features in independent places
such as Destinie Radio Network and they were kind enough to
give me a link with some great features!! :) Please, take a peek
at their wonderful design of this page which features your girl
here! :) this is  me on Posterous ...  They were kind enough to
feature me on their websites and other platforms. They also
sponsor an organization called United Caregivers Of America
which is a non-profit organization to help folks in nursing homes
be and live better equipped so they can lead better and healthier
lives.

Their latest project is Destinie Publishing  They have an amazing
array of authors and writers and they are ready to take your material
to the next level....

My deepest gratitude and eternal thanks to them for the work they do
and to fit The Gypsy Poet in their work, too...

LOVE TO YOU, ALL AT DESTINIE! :)

ON NOOK AND I-BOOK!!!!!

About a month ago, I wrote an elaborate short story called
 "Ernie's Beginning: An Excerpt From Lady Angela's Place"
 and now, it has been placed in the Nook store powered by
Barnes & Noble as well as The I-Book Store  powered by
Apple. I am seeing my work is thriving! I am writing this to
confirm that it will take about about another 24-48 hours
to make it live, but I did get confirmation that the short
story is now listed in both markets. I got more projects
to come this new year!!  May you enjoy the bits! :)
LOVE TO YOU ALL-

My Poems in production....

Two of my poems from my book, A Voice Over Time 
have now been featured in a first-ever public performance.
 It is a part of a production called Merry Mentality 
which is a production that features the pressures of the
Holiday Season and how people cope with different
ways of dealing with mental illness
and various pressures that society puts on the most trivial
things in life.
The event is sponsored by the LOVE ME PROJECT
which is an organization devoted to
mental health education.
The two pieces that made it into the production are
"In The Cold, Dark Room"
and  "Losing Myself" --
2012 is going to be an amazing year.
My work is manifesting even more...
Next poetry book to come...

LOVE TO YOU ALL-

MYSTERIUM... Life's Mysteries... And much more...

The next book that I'm publishing has darker tones and themes.
It's about life's Mysteries,the "mysterious act of experimentation"
with words, and it's also a book about testing the limits of how
words are used. This book has rich tones, as well as dark themes
that evolve around taking a ride on a Harley, comparing a wonderful
man to a really good bottle of wine, and taking on the themes of
 drug addiction and coming to understand what spirituality is.

This next book is a little darker and has richer tones in some places,
however I still remain true to the spirit of "The Gypsy Poet"
 an outcasted woman who looks through the window
from the outside looking in. I am not a sheep.
This book defines this particular point.

The release is going to be out soon...

THE WAR IS OVER...

This is the newbie that I created about a month ago... I did this on 9/11.
This is from my book, A Voice Over Time.
This is called "Soldier" ---
This is based on my thinking of what
army families go through...

This is an important piece from my book...
It's also the most widely asked poem
for reading at poetry readings...
Since San Antonio, Texas is a military town, this is
one poem that gets requests because it hits
so close to home. My hope is that it touches
people all across the globe, not just here...
