I kind of fell into doing poetry. I wrote every week for a blog called Tune Doctor. I gave a song and wrote a story what that song reminded me of. One day I wrote a poem and a few weeks later another. Ever since then I have become quite prolific. I have lost count how many poems I have written over the past few years, but it must be approaching 1000. I have published many books. I can’t remember exactly how many. Quite a few poems have appeared in various anthologies. Some of my poems have been adapted for songs by Desert LifeThey were all self-published and were done mainly for my kids and friends. I did try to find a Publisher, but it is a hard game. However, I was lucky enough to be accepted by Wordcatcher Publications. This was a small company and was very friendly. I had 4 books released when Covid came along and because of pressures the company folded.I have to say it was quite a relief not to have the pressure of trying to make sales, I always felt I had to justify myself.The four titles are now not available for sale, so I have done a ‘Best Of’ compilation for self-publication.I will make it as cheap as I can as I don’t think it will make my fortune, but hey, you never know
