I did. Self published it and sold a few online, via my sweetchillisauce.com site. (Boneman has read the book and said kind things, bless him.) None of the people who encouraged me to do it bought a copy. So I'm understandably wary but greatly flattered by the suggestion.J Cosmo Newberyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04459976320205444628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-434754683338079062009-01-10T12:01:00.000+11:002009-01-10T12:01:00.000+11:00i just noticed on your sidebar the explanation of ...i just noticed on your sidebar the explanation of the poetry duel - and the underdog took the prize? helluva dog, that K9. but i believe he needs competition to do his best work.chickoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814762747054617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-44067657551807462292009-01-10T11:59:00.000+11:002009-01-10T11:59:00.000+11:00superb! i love the formatting of the words too. i ...superb! i love the formatting of the words too. i like the living mosses claiming the stone.chickoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814762747054617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-50490700432601308142009-01-10T09:19:00.000+11:002009-01-10T09:19:00.000+11:00I LOVE reading your stuff!!!I LOVE reading your stuff!!!KatBouskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556451375792958743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-53667448340027450602009-01-10T08:19:00.000+11:002009-01-10T08:19:00.000+11:00t'is a beauty ..t'is a beauty ..darkfoamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394546886035933252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-71713914973693161232009-01-10T06:58:00.000+11:002009-01-10T06:58:00.000+11:00incredible. excellent. i think i'm repeating mysel...incredible. excellent. <BR/>i think i'm repeating myself. again. and again. and again.<BR/><BR/>i second dan. you do need to be published. provided that youll inscribe a copy for me of course...justsomethoughts...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05778254901832542234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-72896531899558911392009-01-10T01:48:00.000+11:002009-01-10T01:48:00.000+11:00J.Great work...if you are not already, someone nee...J.<BR/><BR/>Great work...if you are not already, someone needs to publish your work.<BR/><BR/>DanDan Felsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04917775645881312007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-30566934280092719812009-01-10T01:14:00.000+11:002009-01-10T01:14:00.000+11:00Splendidly done, as always. :)Splendidly done, as always. :)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01783379570693055648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30233877.post-10800334555392059722009-01-09T15:26:00.000+11:002009-01-09T15:26:00.000+11:00Sometimes I think it sad to see crumbling gravesto...Sometimes I think it sad to see crumbling gravestones.
