Don’t forget to join us for the LCW Valentine’s Day book signing event at Good Samaritan Village this Sunday, February 6th, from 2-4PM. All your favorite authors will be there!
Shall I compare thee to an exquisite book?
Though art lovely yet less breviloquent.
Rough prose encountered in my corner nook,
The lines do twist as the river is bent.
Oft the Bard’s cold specter calls out to me,
But he fades before the writing begins;
The words meander like brook, lark, and tree,
Then enjamb in ungrammatical sins;
But for thee, our plot is not complete yet,
Our dénouement remains to be written,
Nor shall your cover fade when showers wet,
And of your voice I am always smitten.
So long as we write, all our hopes do grow,
So long lives you, and all the worlds we know…
