....i've only set it on the back-burner, so to speak.   But I have every intention of getting it out soon, so if you have any content you'd like to contribute to the first newsletter, please feel free to post it on the Newsletter Board.

The Newsletter Board seems to have disappeared so I post here, hoping you catch this and that you find it sufficiently humorous for inclusion in the newsletter.

I am writing an e-book of my 'poetry' and have included the following as part of the background package.
Bits of it may be suitable for another author publishing their work for free! It is a critique, really, of current trends in marketing.
