I have 3 poems featured in the Spring Issue of Trellis Magazine. 2 submitted for consideration, "Innuendo and Twilight". This is what they said about my 2 submissions..

Congratulations! Your poems ?Innuendo? and ?Twilight? have been approved by the Review Board for publication in a future issue of Trellis Magazine.

Reviewers' Comments: "Innuendo"

--Creative use of the acrostic form.

--The flow of this piece was excellent and the content really related and defined your acrostic in a fresh way.

--Very clever.

--I really like this little acrostic.

Reviewers' Comments: "Twilight"

--Creative, fascinating, and mood evocative.

--Very calming and serene; evokes very positive image.

--The palindrome form was creative and helped evoke the poem?s calm, reflective mood.

--Unusual to get a palindrome submitted, and this poem is interesting use of the form.

and 1 for the Mother's Day Contest, "A Child's Love". This is what they said about my entry...

Congratulations! The Judges have selected your poem ?A Child's Love? for the special Mother?s Day Poet Recognition Award. Your poem will be published in the Mother?s Day bonus pages of the Spring 2008 Issue 4 print magazine.

Judges? Comments:

--This is the epitome of a Mother?s Day poem. So sweet and visual. The glass with dandelions are a beautiful metaphor.

--Concise yet vivid imagery.

--Excellent use of the syllabic Cinquains form for a lovely poem.

I am very honored to be picked to be a contributor. I also had a poem in the Fall 2007 issue, "Morning Time".

Trellis Magazine is a beautiful magazine, a celebration of all forms of poetry...

I stopped by the Kanawha Mall, Waldenbooks, today and while there thanked the manager, Paul, for carrying my book in their store and for their support of local authors.

He invited me to participate in a booksigning by local and regional authors to help the Nitro Public Library, on Feb 22, 2007.

How exciting !

Have a great day,

Tammy

Great Saturday

I went to the WV Book Festival in Charleston and met a few authors, Robert Walker, Linda Prather and Alexis Hart. It was nice and everyone there was very nice. Also met the lady from the Appalachian Authors Guild...Very nice lady.

Afterwards, I went to Waldenbooks at the Town Center Mall. And low and behold, one of my favorite authors, Charlene Thompson, was there having a booksigning. I got meet and talk with her for a while and she signed her newest book for me..<BG>...

I went into the store to pay for my book and decided to see
if mine was available and to my shock and pleasure
they had it on the shelves...<VBG>... I was asked to
sign them. <g>   The manager wants to have a book
signing sometime after the first of the year. <way
cool>

My book is also in the Waldenbooks at the Kanawha Mall...<G>... I had to buy a copy just to have a bookstore copy..LOL

I found out it's also at the Borders Express at the Meadowbrook Mall in Bridgeport and at the Mercer Mall... The Waldenbooks in Morgantown wants to carry it also... Way cool, again..

I'm so tickled, there is nothing better than to see one's
book on a bookstore shelf.

I just wanted to share.

Tammy
