My 9-11 Tribute poem "We Shall Never Forget" has been in print at least fourteen times...and that's only what I've managed to find through Google...it's not like anyone actually tells me these things...
Trying to make a list up of print stuff and some of the other things it was used for...I have my motives here, btw...

I think this one might be worth a "bump"...Bump...
They only accept submissions between January and June...ie., the first half of the year...and that is a decent amount of money...especially the $200 per poem...

You'll like that book btw Sharon...it's a nice book, a bit pricey...but, it is a real nice book to have and show off...
The layout is nice...lots of little squigley-type designs in the corners of the pages and stuff...sort of an old-time poetry book look, if you know what I mean...
You'll be happy with it...

In my bio in the back of the book, I list my profile page here at Stories Space as my website since I don't actually have my own site or blog...a situation I don't expect to change anytime soon, btw...
So, this fine site gets a bit of free advertising as well...

Quote by etairayhey ive got badges ..jst too funny
i hd to be told that bit of news
THANK YOU SS TEAM ..huggles mmwah
Ah shucks...who gave you the badges anyway? Probably an oversight in the Badge Distribution Department here on Stories Space...
I may have to take this up with the Executive Director of Badge Control at the next Badge Control Committee meeting...
I have no idea which Badge Control Committee member you may have bribed, but I can assure you...I will get to the bottom of this...

Oh, this is nice...take my word here, better yet watch it...for my video pick today on this New Year's Eve we have Mr. B.B. King...
I know some say he's somewhat overrated as a blues guitarist...but, he's probably at his peak around this time in the mid to late-sixties...you decide my friends...
And best wishes for all in the coming New Year...

Brings back memories...I saw Johnny Mathis with my mother back in the 70's...The Pointer Sisters were the opening act...my mother was a big JM fan...if I had a dollar for every time I heard "Johnny Mathis Greatest Hits" growing up...um, let's say I'd have a lot of money...

My story "His Christmas Wish"...which is available for your reading pleasure on this fine site btw...is also out in a Christmas anthology on Dancing With Bear Publishing...and at only seven bucks is one of the greatest bargains in the history of mankind I might add...
Haven't seen that one yet, but I'm told it exists by people who have sent for it and received it...the publisher is a bit slow to send me my free author copies apparently...
