With Write Nothing coming out in just five days (5!), I’ve decided to do something a little special for you – some free poems!
Image © Gadini (https://pixabay.com/en/poetry-book-of-poetry-romanticism-688368/).
I’ve got nine poems all ready to post on my poetry Tumblr. None of these are works from Write Nothing itself: they’re all unique free content for my blog.
Starting from 6 p.m. tonight, I’ll be posting a poem every fifteen minutes and adding links to each individual poem to this post so you can access them all from one place or read them one at a time as they go up.
Poems
6.00 p.m. – Hemingway
6.15 p.m. – I Do
6.30 p.m. – Tealights
6.45 p.m. – Want (B)
7.00 p.m. – Life and Death
7.15 p.m. – Ink and Truth
7.30 p.m. – Covet
7.45 p.m. – Lincoln Triptych
8.00 p.m. – Coffee Kisses
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you’ll know that before I published my first poetry book “Under the Tree” via CreateSpace and Kindle, I published a first edition using Blurb!
Here’s a comparison between the two versions. The current Kindle cover is on the right; the first edition, the left!

Fancy getting your hands on one of those ultra-rare editions?
Well would you look at that! Here’s one of them on a book shelf!

Along with a lot of other books!

Take yourself to the Waterstones on St Margaret’s Street in Canterbury and you can pick up an exclusive first edition copy of my book for just £4.99!
And message me a photo of yourself with the book and your receipt and I’ll write you a personalised poem for me!
There were just 3 copies left last time I checked. Get searching!

If you saw my micro-trailer, you’ll know that I promised you something today. And here it is:
I’m publishing a new poetry book!
Yep! Following on the heels of “Under the Tree” and “Dark Heart” comes a brand new book. I’ll release more details in a trailer coming 1st February 2016, but for now, here’s the title:

Well it’s been rather quiet and empty here for a while, hasn’t it? I meant to update weeks ago, but what can I say? Life’s been incredibly busy for me recently. I graduated from university with a First, I moved into a new bedroom, and I’ve started a Master’s Degree. But that’s no excuse for going completely silent here, and for that I apologise. On the plus side, though, I’ve got three big bits of news to share with you. So let’s get going!
Image © OpenClipartVectors (https://pixabay.com/en/newspaper-article-journal-headlines-154444/).
First of all, I shared on my Facebook recently that I’d written three articles for International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom (IPW:UK), a Kent-based wrestling company, to use in their show programmes. I’m happy to announce that this has now become a regular thing and in all likelihood, I will be contributing to their programmes for the foreseeable future!
This includes: event reviews (like the one of Future 8 in the second 11YA programme); match previews (like the one for Sammy Smooth versus Tommaso Ciampa in the Just Too Good programme); and focus pieces (like the one about the GZRS in the Supershow 2015 programme).
IPW:UK do programmes at most of their main shows and they’re available free with a VIP ticket purchase or for a small fee at the event. If you’re interested in reading some of the stuff I write about wrestling these days, check it out!

The next piece of good news? I’ve been published!
Zillion Press bought a piece of flash fiction from me for their anthology “Polychrome Ink: Volume II”. It’s a little piece inspired by my own struggles with writer’s block and depression called “That Dreamy Girl”.
The entire anthology can be bought online from the publisher’s website or from various other places including Amazon and Createspace. To find all the purchasing options, click this link to Zillion Press’s Store page and give it a look.

And finally, the big news I’ve been taunting you with for quite a while.
You may remember that for my Final Year Independent Study for my BA, I created a playlist of ten poetry videos. If you enjoyed those, celebrate: I have poems written for five more.
Yes, you read that correctly: I have five more poetry videos ready to be made. But these won’t be going on YouTube! Instead, I’ll be putting the these five new videos, plus the ten from YouTube and some “Making Of” type features, onto a DVD!
Right now, I still have to undergo the filming process for the new videos, so this probably won’t be happening until somewhere around the summer of 2016. I’ll keep you updated on the progress as I start filming and let you know how everything goes.
Oh, and here’s the playlist for the old videos in case you never got around to watching them!

“Dark Heart” is progressing well. The book has been formatted and now all I need to do is finish uploading it to CreateSpace and it’ll be ready to go.
Meanwhile, here’s what delayed this blog post yesterday: a YouTube trailer for “Dark Heart”.
I hope you liked it! If you did, please share!
