This week I’m posting a few days early to announce that Soul Picked Clean, my first published book of poetry, will be out in two months. Needless to say (but I’m going to anyway), I’m incredibly excited! On April 13th, I’ll be reading and selling my first book at the Massillon Library’s Local Author Fair: a venue I’ve attended before as a blogger sans book. Not only that, but Crisis Chronicles Press, my publisher, will be selling my poetry collection on the same day at the Cuyahoga Library’s Publishing Con & Bookfair–along with other great titles!
