My first collection of poems, Beginnings, will be published on 29 February 2024. This is a collection of poems that I have written over many years.  Many of them have appeared on my blog over the past ten years. Now felt like the right time to bring them all together in one small volume. (And of course, 29^th February is too unique a date not to publish on – Yes, I’m weird about dates)

Beginnings is now available for pre-order worldwide for Kindle. Here’s the links

There will be a paperback edition available from 29 February too.

As a little taster, here’s one of the poems, a haiku, that appears in the book.

Icy east wind blows.

Sun shines on the rutted path.

Spring lies just beyond.

The cover photograph is one of my own. (Local friends may well recognise this spot.) It’s a small stand of trees just to the west of Lunderston Bay, my favourite meandering spot. There’s a certain peace to be found among those trees. A beautiful spot to simply stop and connect with nature.

To me, this year is all about Beginnings in so many ways.

For those who are eagerly awaiting news of Book Baby 8, please bear with me a little longer. It’s coming.
