[Patricia Wedel]

Richard... does your Book have Sonnets...
I will check at Barnes and Noble...
perhaps the perfect Christmas gift to myself
that could put a golden lining on my own
poetry. I am a Novice in the art and form of poetry. truly, Pat

[Richard 🍃]

How lovely of you, Pat,
To drop-in for a look-see of my excellent book.
Seems one of my purchasers commented that 35 out of the 145 poems are Sonnets … I hope that's sufficient for your interest.
What a wonderful idea to treat yourself to one of my first editions … I know you'll love every minute of it held in your hands, with its warm, thick suede-like feel.
There are many poems and forms to enjoy and learn from, and to add that golden lining in your own poetic repertoire.
I will be sincerely honored to know you will have your own edition of my book amongst the other fine volumes in your personal library.

Order yours directly from me and I will personalize it for you in my own hand, and ship it to you for free.

Bless you, Pat, with a most wonderful week … hugs! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Dara]

I just placed an order on Amazon. I am so looking forward to reading it and being inspired by your talent, experience and gift for writing. Congratulations Richard!

[Richard 🍃]

Aw, Dear Dara!
You are so sweet to order a copy of my book to hold in your warm hands and read it in the comfort and privacy of your home … I am so happy my words will be living close with You.

Thank you ever-so warmly for your encouraging congratulations … you are a lovely flower! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Dara]

It is entirely my pleasure. I have it now and simply enthralled by your writing. I hope more people do the same and get a copy of their own. One day I hope to combine some of my children’s poetry into book form. You are an inspiration!

[Richard 🍃]

Sighhh ⁓ BLUSH*
Please, let me know when yours is out … I want to enjoy You, too.

[Dara]

So far it has only made it to my ‘bucket list’ but when/if the day comes I will surely let you know :-)))

[JungLee]

Awesome! Would this be able to ship to Japan?

[Richard 🍃]

Thank you, Dear JungLee! : )
Of course it can be shipped to Japan.
Amazon has the hardcover edition on sell right now for $9.68 USD and the softcover for $4.21 USD … normally $29.90 and $19.90 USD respectively.
They'll ship it right to your doorstep. : )
