OK, some of you may remember, some may not know, many won't give a damn, but in addition to loving Photoshop, (software of the gods), I also write poetry. The exciting news, for me anyway, is my first book of work has hit Amazon today!

Sea Doggerels, 36 pages of Alanisms is now on sale for the low, Low LOW price of $5.65.

So buy a copy you cheap dogs. If you don't like it you can give it as a small Christmas present.

very positive critiques Al.This one sold me...

" an old family recipe. He takes a cup of
humor, mixed with a dash of wit, blended
with a pinch of irony all served up in a
mélange suitable for enjoyable
relaxation."

I will definitely look into getting a copy

Congratulations, YPA!

Won't you tease us with a sample of the verse? A couple of couplets, perhaps. Maybe a favorite quatrain.

And I ain't buying one unless you personalize it. I'll pay the return postage. I'm sure I'm not the only one here who wants your autograph.

Thank you guys. I have set up a paypal buying page here:

http://alanwelch.weebly.com/writings.html

It's ready for business, but the books are enroute to me and I will ship them as soon as they arrive. In the meantime you can read 3 sample pages. And all books bought through that page WILL be signed and personalized.

There's some nicely crafted verse in the samples, YPA. Reminiscent of Robert Service.

I'll wait for the PayPal details. Hopefully I can figure that out.

Me too Al,hope I get it before Christmas,it´s a present I bought for myself to put under the tree .Btw my mother,who lives in Miami, writes poetry too and published a book here in Almuñecar a while ago, but it's in spanish.Also my brother inlaw writes poetry for a local cultural magazine in my home town.I really do enjoy a good dose of inspiring poetry,it´s food for the creative mind.

Not sure, but we will sort it all out. I hope to have books in hand first of next week and will mail out immediately so Christmas should not be an issue for this issue.
