Welcome to the official kick-off for my book launch!
(Seriously, does anyone have a paper bag I could breathe into?)
My first book, My Ignored Hamper and Other Bathroom Poetry, is now available on both Smashwords and Amazon Kindle at the price of $1.49.
(Yeah, getting just a little bit dizzy here.)
But just for you I have a coupon for Smashwords. Here’s the code: GS49E Smashwords says the code isn’t case sensitive, so don’t stress over the shift key.
This is where the normal authors usually put an excerpt, and who am I to buck the trend?
Enjoy! (places head between knees)

My Ignored Hamper
The clothes they have shed?
On the floor looking dead
Ignoring the hamper
To the tub they do scamper
Their clothes in a heap
Into bubbles they leap
When they’re asleep
I’ll let my tea steep
It’ll take just a minute
To put the clothes in it
But for now I’ll enjoy
My two little boys
.
Sleep-over Blues
With music up loud
‘Round the mirror they crowd
“That look is a winner”
“I wish I were thinner”
“There’s this really cute boy”
“He treats girls like they’re toys”
It’s Saturday night
They share the spotlight
In their fifth outfit
And wouldn’t you know it
The bathroom is crowded
“It’s here!” someone shouted
The pizza devoured
They’re now soda powered
Six girls in a bathroom
All trying out perfume
“Should we pop in a movie?”
“Let’s make-over Suzie!”
And so it continues
Dad’s sleep-over blues

There you have it. My long awaited book of bathroom poetry has hit ebook shelves and eagerly awaits your eyes. You are more than welcome (encouraged even) to tell me your thoughts. (Please just remember to coat them in a little sugar first, huh?)

Fellow Authors, what was it like for you the first time you published something?
Also, what did you do to celebrate?

(I think it’s time for a lie down. Just too excited for my own good. ;D )
