Amazon Book Reviewing Policy.
The information in this post accords with my understanding of Amazon’s Review Policy, namely that readers may post a review of a book or other product they received free provided this fact is clearly noted in the review. Authors may therefore provide free copies of their books in exchange for an honest review on Amazon. However reviews of books not purchased through Amazon will not show as “verified purchases”. Kevin

At Close Of Day
Let us watch the sunbeams on the walls
Your hand held fast in mine as evening falls.
The day has been long
Our race it is run
Let us go down with the setting sun
Fly
Fly, you are one of god’s creatures tis true, but must you plague me the whole day through? Must you make that buzzing sound? That infernal noise doth my thoughts drown! Take my advice and go away, before I reach for the fly spray!
Dozing
Dozing at my computer, pondering on what to write. Oh for a dreamless, refreshing sleep tonight!
Why Flashbacks Ruin Fiction
An interesting post arguing that in almost every instance flashbacks ruin fiction, (https://warriorwriters.wordpress.com/2015/06/12/why-flashbacks-ruin-fiction/). Do people agree?
I use flashbacks in my book, “Samantha” to explain how Sam becomes embroiled in the world of forced prostitution. None of my reviews mention my utilisation of flashbacks so, in the case of “Samantha” they where, I hope employed successfully.

“Dalliance; A Collection Of Poetry And Prose” Is Now Available In Braille

Although “Dalliance” is available as an ebook with text to speech enabled, allowing visually impaired people to read it, I wanted my own copy in Braille and requested that RNIB transcribe “Dalliance”. It is a wonderful feeling to hold a braille edition of “Dalliance” and know that t...
OMG Shakespeare!
OMG Shakespeare takes the original plays and retells them using text speak, emoticons and slang. I can’t see how one could translate the beautiful and moving “to be or not to be” speech in Hamlet and translate it into modern language or (worse) into slang or text speech. For the article please see, (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3121419/Yolo-Juliet-Macbeth-s-killingit-Academics-horrified-dumbing-Shakespeare-Bard-s-greatest-works-retold-EMOJI.html).
