I would just like to inform you that fellow gatherite Alison Pearce has published her first ezine on lulu.com. Her poetry is wonderful,deep and touching. Titled "TOUCHING BLUE' Alison draws on different aspects of the colour blue and the journey of lifes good times and sad times and gives strength and hope to those that can and will relate to her poetry.

 

Please take the time to have a look and I am sure we all wish Alison good luck with it.  Now all we need to see is her wonderful stories put together and published also.

I've been to lulu a couple of times as I'm thinking of publishing. My son uses it all the time and says its good.

This is wonderful Maria, and a very nice thing for you to do pointing out Alison's first book of poems. I just went to the web site and was so impressed seeing her book. I haven't heard of the site before , and I will have to check it out further. I agree my friend Alison is a wonderful poet/writer , and I have no doubt we will see her wonderful stories in print as well. I hope other people find her work as well and her first book of poems does well. I will most definitely be buying her book, but will have to join the site first. Thanks for the information Maria, This is a wonderful surprise this morning. I am so happy for Alison. Take care.
Darcey.

I followed Darcey D.'s comment to this article and am so glad I did. And I will certainly check out Alison's work. Thank you for posting this.

Thank you for your lovely article Maria and thank you Darcey, lynn, Lynn and Heide for your comments! I am compiling a few short stories at the moment in preparation for a short story anthology! Shall let you know of my progress!

Wow, this is a big deal! Congrats Alison for taking that step, I heard of Lulu before & checked out the site, but I haven't used them, I may follow in your footsteps! All the best...

Hi Maria, this is really cool of you to spread the love & support, like this:)

Alison:

Congratulations a trillion times over to one of my favorite people!!! I just came from lulu, and your book cover is lovely and inviting. I wish you much success!

I love the emotions about which you wrote:

"emotions of joy, love, sorrow and depression with a selection of verse that examines the complexity of humanity and nature"

Thank you so much. And, Maria, thank you for writing this article and letting us know about our dear friend's exciting venture. Great job!
Nice going Alison. I've been a lulu author for some time. Nice site girl. WTG.

Quick note to let everyone who reads this article know, that because the book is about to be revised, Touching Blue is now available for free.

Just came back to read this again and I noticed that you posted that Touching Blue is now free. Thank you so much Alison. I just downloaded it and read the first three poems. Loved them and I am looking forward to reading the rest as soon as I have a little more time.

Thank you Maria for telling us about Alison's lovely Anthology.

I'd been thinking of checking lulu out again for publishing some of my work, so this article was helpful in reminding me to do that.
