For those of you in the Santa Barbara area, I will be signing copies of my book, "Angel's Dance: A Collection of Uplifting and Inspirational Poetry" at the Santa Barbara Book Festival tomorrow, September 29th, 2007. I'll be one of the authors at the SPAWN tables. Please stop by and say hello.

Hi Everyone,

I thought I'd introduce myself by telling you a bit about my book, "Angel's Dance: A Collection of Uplifting and Inspirational Poetry." I began writing poetry in 1999 as a form of expression for my own enjoyment.

It was his ringing endorsement that really gave me the courage to try it out on others. After years of…

For those of you who have enjoyed my poetry, I ask you to please consider posting a review on Amazon.com or another online book seller. I have a few wonderful reviews on BN.com, but none for Amazon so far.

Thanks so much for your support!

It's not often one gets to blow his own horn, but I just received the most amazing letter from a grief counselor. I hope you don't mind me sharing it with you.

Dear Lynn,

I just wanted to tell you how much I love the book! Angel's Dance is part of my one-on-one bereavement support practice as well as my grief groups. I have found a number of poems to read aloud to my clients -- your words are uplifting and motivating to people needing to grieve and to hear about someone else's…
