I'm delighted to announce that my debut poetry slimbook 'Foothills' will be available to buy in paperback from February 7th 2024.

Comprising twenty eight poems and two short love stories, 'Foothills' is a feisty, all-terrain celebration of love. Romantic love is paramount, but friendship and familial love get a look-in too. Sure, some of the poems may let on that I've read a lot of Shakespeare. But just as many poems have their tongue firmly in their cheek (or want to get their tongue firmly inside someone else's cheek... while 'Foothills' is not erotica, the horny will not be disappointed).

I've designed my slimbook to look low-key classy on your coffee table or bedside nook. And at only 6 ounces, it's light enough to carry just about anywhere. (The portability of poetry is a long-term interest of mine, you see...) With Valentine's Day just around the corner, why not slip the book under a loved one's pillow as a surprise? (Pro tip: don't forget it's there. Nothing dulls that loving feeling quite like a crick in the neck.)

Visit the book's page at Scatterpunk Press for more details of the book and how to buy.

Get the book by Valentine's Day: here's how

Rollout across US bookstores will happen incrementally throughout the spring and summer (with EU and then worldwide bookstores to follow later in the year). So here's the best way to get your (clammy, smitten) paws on 'Foothills' by Valentine's Day: order it on Amazon with Prime Delivery. Do so before February 12th, and you should get it in time.

The link to buy on Amazon is posted at Scatterpunk Press, and will activate on February 7th. (You can order from your own country's Amazon site; you do not have to order from Amazon in the United States.)
