Now Published in Paperback and Kindle at Amazon
For the first time, I have books in paperback and Kindle at Amazon.com.
This is a copy of the cover of my book Witches and Wolves and the Witches Exile Road.
I thought about publishing in paperback for a long time, and decided that although I love ebooks, I would still like to see my books in the paperback form. You can see both versions at Amazon now.

CHECK OUT MY VIKING BOOK
IT IS OUT AT LAST!
Well at last it is here. I finished the Viking book which was something which has challenged me for some time.
It is now available on Smashwords and awaits review there for the Premium list. Then it will go on to major book sellers. Meanwhile, I am announcing this huge step with joy.
I love the Cover, I love the Book and most of all, I love the Subject, The Vikings. So here is a link:

A poem for Poem in your Pocket Day, an international day recognizing the value of poetry in daily life
WHEN DAY BREAKS
By Anna Patterson
When Day Breaks
The shadows still fall darkAgainst the rose patterned hallThe shadows of dreams still flickerOn the mind
When Day BreaksThere is silence stillUntil the first car goes bySignaling tasks to doFor it is morning
What lingering dread Still duty calls in the fading dewFor me and you:The Day Breaks.
We would be drawnTo the bed to sleep againBut the shadows give way to sunlightAnd duty calls with a harkeningNo one can ignore.
I thought I saw somethingIn a dream or nightmareA fire breathing dragonAnd I held back in fearWaiting on you with yourArm and might to save me
So now I am not afraidMy senses gather like soldiersAnd Fierceness of what mayWhat mightKnowing you are there for meI am so glad, so very glad to see
When Day Breaks
Your lovely face staring out at me.
When Day Breaks

NEW BOOK OUT
I have a new book out, a real romance, and a fairly modern Western flavor. Hope you like it. I personally, have always been a fan of Westerns. I like the small town atmosphere and the countryside as a backdrop.

The Secrets to E-book Publishing Success. (How to Reach More Readers with Your Words By Mark Coker
This 35,581 word publication is free.* * * This is a detailed, comprehensive book which reveals to writers, authors, publishers, and literary agents, much sought after jewels hidden from most people searching for the answer to this type of success. Thanks to Mark Coker's book, a clear map is lined out showing the twenty-five best practices for writing and publishing. Other works by Coker include: Smash words Style guide; Smashwords Book Marketing guide; The 10-minute PR Check list, and Boob Tube. Mark Coker, founder of Smashwords, has been asked to tell something about this subject many times in conferences and seminars throughout the world. And why not? Smashwords is the largest distributor of self published e-books in the world. Embracing 40,000 authors' works which are represented in 100,000 books (and growing), this is an on-going, day to day example of tremendous e-book success. The secrets have been gleaned from the best practices of the most commercially successful authors at Smashwords. I personally like the common sense, honest, and yet thoughtfully detailed, and very modest valuable advice book this book truly is. Many Smashwords authors have landed in the top ten bestseller lists of major e-book retailers. Mark explains in his book, and notes that some also are new New York Times e-book bestsellers. I, myself, a novice in all things publishing, nonetheless, applaud this latest effort of Mark Coker to explain these very difficult concepts. I was very excited as I started reading this, realizing, for me it is a jewel which I am very glad I found. I think it is a how-to manual which I will keep easily accessible like I did the style guides I kept on my desk while trying to work my way through the college essay classes of my past.Thanks Mark Coker for this timely how to book on writing and publishing. Something wonderful shall surely come of this sharing project of yours.
