The proof has been proofed and as of today "Edward Beaton and the Star in the Glass" by Caroline A.Raine is available in hard copy off amazon.com.
Looong sigh.... the journey is complete and the writing, submissions, printing and editing is over. It exists in the world and NOW stepping through the looking glass - from me looking in on a mysterious world of authoring - I walk in the beautiful garden of being an author in print. This is the beginning.
Join me in the garden...

3 May 2011: Don't you love it when the world around you narrates poetry?
Ezra Pound
Now as the winter rains begin in earnest in Cape Town, every morning on my drive to school I watch the wet trees and the last of the autumn leaves and I wish that there was a sister poem to Ezra Pounds "In a Station of the Metro" just for autumn.
In a Station of the Metro
The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
petals on a wet, black bough.
Ezra Pound
The rich auburns of the maple and Plains Trees stand out against the black, wet bark of the trees. Too beautiful. And then in 4 months I will be saluting the fine pink and lilac petals, poised so delicately against the wet bark. It is a beautiful, fragile world we live in, and we all need to be a little kinder to it, to each other, and to ourselves.
So be kind, to the world around you.
Be kind to others.
Be kind to yourself.
