A great gift giving book that delights and gives u a warm and fuzzy feeling

Here’s a lovely review posted at Amazon.com:
What a pick me up book…A great gift giving book that delights and gives u a warm and fuzzy feeling.. Perfect to give to a friend for a birthday or just a general Brighten up your day read. I am planning on ordering some to keep on hand for such a occasion. I did order my Mother a copy and her comment was “Its just adorable ” Its a quick read so the person you give it to doesn’t have to be a avid reader or have the time to read a book that takes them weeks to finish. The illustrations are very charming and makes you understand the sweetness of this book. Everyone will smile after reading this like I did.

We hope you will enjoy the book as much as this reader did.

Happy Equinox-Easter-Passover!

There is every reason
To celebrate this season: 

Embrace the Spirit, go and have fun 
Under the Creator’s glorious sun.

Marketing – how does one do it?

This past year has been the year of the book
Considering all the hours it took.

Now I need to commence
recouping the expense.

Marketing is not really my cup of tea
But it’s an absolute necessity! –

And while I am working on this writ
I’m wondering “how does one do it?”

Good news! Kirkus Indy Review is in

Poet Schober’s debut collection of rhyming witticisms serves as a paean to the joy of life. …simple, unpolished verse that’s somewhat old-fashioned at times …infectious. 

… a tongue-in-cheek philosophy… Readers shouldn’t look for serious poetry here, but there are serious themes beneath the humor. Although life has its share of sorrow and hardship, Schober chooses to accentuate the positive in this collection.

The individual poems are untitled, which works well with the format…The white space and larger print provides an easy reading experience.

The entire review was positive! – we can’t be more pleased.

“Joys and Laments…” available now

The writing was fun.
Re-writing was challenging, but it got done.
The illustrations are in their proper place
and we can say with (almost) a straight face:
We kept our composure…  and now… with aplomb…
We’ve created a paperback! available at Amazon.com
