The results of the International Book Awards competition, sponsored by American Book Fest, are out, and Let’s Call It Paradise has won best book in the Contemporary Poetry category.
I am honored beyond words to be included among such winners as Pope Francis, Amy Tan, Anne Lamott, George Sanders, Julie Andrews, Clive Barker, Vanessa Williams and others.

Let’s Call It Paradise took several years and a lot of research to write and was recognized as having merit by Robert Arthur who guided me as it came to fruition.. It is an accomplishment I am particularly proud of.
If you haven’t had a chance to read it, you can purchase it directly from San Francisco Bay Press, on Amazon or directly from me.
Thanks to all for your continued support.
