A poem About A Man who loved the Ozarks.
Laid Down His Spurs
This
man worked the
land
he loved for
over seventy years.
He
started with
empty
pockets
bought
nothing
without
cash
or
something to trade.
Long
days of hard labor
until
he reached
into
his seventies.
Then
– he took
pleasure
in his abilities
to
be the best
in hunting and fishing.
His
pleasures in life
soon
gave way to a
world
of darkness.
His
dark eyes chained
Him
to his chair
Yet
… it NEVER
claimed
his mind or spirit.
On
the night
God
called him home,
he
laid down his spurs…
and
left the
flowers
turn
brown.

BRAGGING OR PROMOTING
Have you ever been accused of bragging about your success when posting clippings, site connects, or your book information? You feel you want to share, how all your hard work has paid off. Nothing like, making you feel you have created a great sin. Yet, these same people love to read magazines such as; People and Entertainment Weekly.
What I don't understand, is, if you own a business, do crafts or write a religious book - its okay. This is why social media (a blog and Facebook) are mighty important to me, when I am unable do tours or have signings. It is wonderful all the different "promote your book groups" that have started up. What a great service they do for themselves and others.
I have been blessed to have an agent and a wonderful publisher for my latest book. I had a running start with my book promotions they provided.
Do your friends and family understand?
I hope to do more writing on my blog, as I did when I stated it 2008, when My first book, Submarine Stories of World War II, was released.
