National Poetry Month is coming to a close and so is the sale on WordCrafterPress poetry books. Be sure to pick up copies of these lovely poetry collections while they are still at the great price of $2.99. But don’t delay because the sale is about to end and they will all go back up to their regular price.
We had a great tour last week with some fabulous poetry readings and guest posts by various contributors to Poetry Treasures 4: In Touch with Nature. I have to say that this year’s anthology is filled with some of the most beautiful poetry I have read in a long time. The caliper of the poets in this group is awesome inspiring. And we had a good number of you out there who stopped in to one or more of the stops to join us in sending this anthology off right. Thanks to all of you. Your support is appreciated.
As you know, anyone who visited and left a comment at any stop was entered in our giveaway and a chance to win a free digital copy of the anthology. Now the tour is over, the names were all dropped into a hat, and I have three lucky winner names right here. So, without further ado –
The Winners Are….

60th Birthday
That’s right. March 3 is my birthday, and I’ll be 60 years old. I’m thinking the Smashwords Read an Ebook Week celebration can just double as my birthday celebration, so if you want to give me a birthday gift, buy an ebook on Smashwords.

I’ve always said “You’re as young as you feel”, but lately, I’ve been feeling pretty old. Sure I do things slower and a little more painfully than I used to, but that’s not what I mean. I’m talking about that feeling like time is running out; the biological clock is ticking down.
On the other hand, this milestone could be opening a new chapter in my life, a chance to do something new, and perhaps unexpected. My day job of nine years ended last March, and I’ve been seeking other employment ever since. The job search has taken me down unexpected paths and I’m still not sure what I will end up doing. My writing has also been taking some unexpected paths lately. I can’t help but be curious, and perhaps a little anxious to learn what comes next.
AI Audiobooks by Kaye Lynne Booth
Books by Kaye Lynne Booth: Delilah, Hidden Secrets, and The Rock Star & The Outlaw are now available in AI audiobook on Google Play. And during the month of March, you can get each one for only 2.99. Buying one to check it out would also be a great birthday present, so grab your copy on Google Play March 1 – 31, 2024.
W.I.P
With my books, I have a better idea of what’s to come, and I’m excited, in March, to be working on my writer’s resource book, The D.I.Y. Author, scheduled to come out in June. In the conception and writing of this book, I take on a new persona. This book isn’t how I do what I do. The D.I.Y. Author is who I am. With this book, I am taking that persona public and you can now find me on X (formerly Twitter) @DIY_Author. Look me up. Say “Happy Birthday”, or just say “Hi”. I always enjoy hearing from friends and fans, as well as potential readers.
