[Julie McCarthy (juliesp..]

Congratulations it looks great well done

[Richard 🍃]

Hi, Julie : )

Thank you ever-so gratefully for congratulating me on my book, and for the swell compliment on its looks, too.
Truth be know, it took me many years deciding to put my poems out there in a real book, but I'm glad I did, because now some of my pieces will be preserved and enjoyed long after I've traveled-on.

I'd love nothing more than knowing you are holding your own copy in your hands and enjoying it anytime you wish … smiles 'n hugs, Julie ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Carthage Thorne| The Wi..]

Congratulations and awesome! Wonderful job, this is quite the feat. Happy for you, and this is certainly something I look forward to purchasing with my first paycheck. Once more, nicely done!

[Richard 🍃]

Hello, Poet,
To know you feel so exuberant about this 1st Edition book and are going to order it for yourself, is highest praise and encouragement, indeed.

Thank you so very much! ⁓ Richard : )

[BlackPrince]

I really wish you the best of luck in publishing your finished poetic works. That is exactly the precise road I want to take concerning my written materials that make up my poetry portfolio.
I really feel inspired by your passion for poetry and consistency in the fruition of this divine craft to be made accessible to the poetic masses.

WELL DONE

[Richard 🍃]

Thank you most sincerely, dear, fine poet, for your accolades and praise of my humble efforts.
If it were not for so many over such a long time prompting and cajoling me to publish a few of my thousands of poems, they would not now be in book form.
This first edition volume has just crossed the six-hundred mark … slow, I know, but my publisher says it will level-off and continue on a steady level for a few years, but we'll see.

Again, thank you most gratefully and sincerely, Sir! ⁓ Richard : )

[Richard 🍃]

I hope you'll order it for your pleasure and library … it would be such a distinct honor, My Very New Friend. : )

[Wesley Dingler]

Awesome! best of luck in print, Richard.
Cheers!

[Richard 🍃]

Thank you, Wesley! : )
It's time to order your own copy … I've a few signed 1st Editions left.

Cheers back atcha! ⁓ Richard
