Monday Blessings #12: It's a Fairytale

Hello readers!

Also hello to the ones I see lurking in the shadows, waiting for my A to Z entries! (-:

Today like any day, I'm blessed with many things
thankful for those many things

Before the weekend I revealed my thoughts
on self publishing a poetry collection, woohoo!
I volunteered the second time at the local Islamic school

I found a new favorite, honey walnut shrimp
it doesn't even taste like shrimp

Over the weekend I was blessed
to go to a wedding
a Palestinian wedding to be exact, it was fairy tale like
I learned so much from it about my culture
I had fun, blessed to be with friends.

I'm glad to see all this buzz about blog blitz! And Sarah, the shrimp is wonderful! At times it reminds me of an Arab sweet my friends make (-:

Book Tour: Timeless by Crystal Collier

Hello Poetteers, Let's welcome Crystal Collier here today to share her brand new book! Title: TIMELESS Series: Maiden of Time, #3 Author: Crystal Collier Pages: 253 Publication: November 1, 2016 Publisher: Raybourne Publishing ISBN: 9781629830056 TIME IS THE ENEMY. In 1771, Alexia had everything: the man of her dreams, reconciliation with her father, even a child on the way. But she was never meant to stay. It broke her heart, but Alexia heeded destiny and traveled five hundred years back to stop the Soulless from becoming. In the thirteenth century, the Holy Roman Church has ordered the Knights Templar to exterminate the Passionate, her bloodline.

But none of her hard-won battles may matter if she dies in childbirth before completing her mission. Can Alexia escape her own cloc...

Later on, while hosting #PoetteerChat I asked what everyone’s plan is for a year from now. Most of you said to be published. I promised a list of publishers, so here’s the top 7 I found. Along with the publisher, I will mention the poets they represent. I want to work with someone I can trust. Seeing familiar names makes them more trustable in my opinion. Andrew McMeel - has published Amanda Lovelace, Lang Leav, Rupi Kaur and more. Dancing Girl Press - has published our very own Amanda N. Butler. Bottlecap Press - has published Courtney LeBlanc Button Poetry - has published Olivia Gatwood, Sierra DeMulder and more. Two Sylvias Press - has published Jeannine Hall Gailey, Kelli Russell Agodon, Martha Silano and more. Write Bloody - has published Sarah Kay, Andrea Gibson and mo...
