Um...I'm not exactly sure why I'm posting this on the main poetry board....Since I know very few people out here...Um. But while sitting around my apartment with nothing to do but housework, I decided to take dear +Steven Curtis Lance's advice to heart and create a book using the self-publishing program Lulu. Of course, being pretty computer ...well...stupid, it took me about twenty tries (no, really) to get it in a book format. Anyway, it is titled From The Ashes, is a 6" by 9" softcover, perfect bound 146 page book, and consists of a compilation of my works, old and new. Those here on the poetry forum probably haven't read a lot of my work, as I used to be a religious poster on the critique forum, but if you have a chance, please do read some and consider buying my book. I would very much appreciate it, as college and rent have gotten rather expensive these days. Thank you!

Hey! That's absolutely fantastic, Megan! Be sure to post the links to your book and your "store."

I will definitely want to buy a copy, and I hope everyone else will buy one as well. Lulu is really a great, great thing; I recommend it to everybody (and I don't own any stock in it either; my only company is Silke LLC).

Good for you, Megan! I wish you every happiness, every success. be sure to get those links up for us.

And you know what? It took me lots of tries too!

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.

A Happy Postscript: Good, I see you have the link up to your book now. I will go there and order a copy right now!

Thank you ever so, Steven! It thrills me to know that you appreciate my poetry, as I appreciate yours! And it's good to know I'm not alone in the horrors of formatting!

*HUGS*

OK, Megan, I ordered it! And I gave it the highest rating, too, because I have read and admired and come to know your work.

I am really proud of you!

By the way, that's a beautiful cover you have.

And hey, for heaven's sake stay here with us on the poetry board! We need more nice people and fewer flamers! Stay! Stick up for your fellow author! We Lulus have to stick together, after all.

AD ASTRA PER ASPERA

Did some mention Hey?

Ha Ha

Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you, Steven! And I definantly will stay on the poetry board. I know you and Silke and feel a tad safer here. I ventured onto the erotic poetry board for a second and got scared. Rest assured, I'm not going anywhere.

Thank you for your comment on the cover as well. The front cover was a drawing I made that I played around with in Photoshop. Heh heh. Maybe I should look into graphic designing instead of education. It's easier...

Megan! Congrats!I will also buy your book!

Thank you so much for your support, Silke! It means a great deal to me.

Many hugs and boundless affection!
