  Thank you, Val!
  Sorry, I tried to get a direct link for it, but it was four lines long. Try just searching on Amazon using the title and my full name. Let me know if you can’t find it.

Congratulations, Betty!

‘Skipping Stones’ is a great name for a poetry collection and recalls for me many a lonely beach at sunset, skimming stones over the golden tide, an art my dad taught me as a boy in the 50s, on holiday at Penmaenmawr. I love the cover too – well done to your son Jason for the photo. But your poetry is the thing of course. And I know your style from work posted here on ‘Seasonings’ – so sensitive, atmospheric, entrancing…

Good Luck with the book and take care,

Paul

  Thank you so much, Paul, for your kind words. It was in the 50s that I too was taught to skip stones (on Puget Sound in Seattle) – though I was never good at it. 😊
  I’m happy you like the cover of the book, and appreciate you visiting my blog!
