Amazon Author Page

I have made an Amazon Author Page; part of my new resolution to spread the word a bit about my books. It will be updated when I know the ISBN of a couple of my other books, but it’s a start…..

Introducing Hardy the Avocado

Hardy is the first plant I’ve not killed off; not only have I not killed him, I grew him from a pod. He is a wild child, anarchic and threatening to take over the room. A welcome member of my strange little family.[image error]

Experiment

Stick Dance

Stick Dance

I’m caked in history, upside down on your street,

my silhouette cutting singers in black and white,

dizzy between the streets, amassing description.

I come clean, blow a path through talcum powder

and cheap hotel bars of soap, use chicken bones

to lure you, but it isn’t high school and

you are provoked into fury. I’m afraid it won’t be

played out when my tap shoes confront your

steel-capped boots in the elbow of corridors.

We roll in coffee grains, smelling so good

I decide to repeat this game with subsequent lovers,

to scatter coffee in all of my rooms.

I smear myself in Vaseline and am arrested

when I use you without permission

in my stick dance, my stroll dance.
