April Arrival

You truly are a beautiful readership, you know that? The love and support that flows from you to me is greatly appreciated! It's a mutual love affair.

I have great pleasure is finally unveiling the cover for my next collection of poetry. The release of this collection entitled "Cut Both Ways" is due to launch June 2015. (possibly sooner) Very exciting!

Let me tell you a little about the book, and also include a few reviews from advanced reader copies. 

In a relationship more often than not, both parties are not passionate people. Passionate, not necessarily in a romantic sense, but about life in general; feeling strongly about goals, interests, ideas and yes, dreams and love.  Usually one is a taker, one a giver. The old adage “opposites attract”, or do they? This collection of works will delve into the life of a relationship where both individuals are extremely artistic, intense, passionate about life, and fierce about love.

Cut Both Ways will carry you along a beautiful path of love, grief, elation, inspiration, and passion. A journey not many experience in their lifetime; delving deep within the emotions of two creative, romantic, intense, and passionate soulmates. The author demonstrates great skill, allowing the reader to feel the ecstasy, excitement, and disturbance portrayed in each poem. Stirring the desires of the heart and soul, which come into play when two beautiful souls are more than just in love, more than in a relationship, where two become one. The dynamics and intensity of these poems will transport you into a world so precious, it will take your breath away.

"Cut Both Ways" is a living, breathing body of work that exposes true human nature. From beginning to the end, this is much more than poetry, it's an entire lifetime of the good, the bad, the sensual, and the destructive. But above all else, this collection is certainly life.

- Janice Ross, Author of Damaged Girls

One of my favorite authors. She has a way of bringing her readers into her poems and making them feel as if each poem were written for them. These poems of love can be felt deep within your soul and at times will make you cry both tears of joy and tears of sadness. A five star review!   - Author Carl Joseph Roberts Until next time my friends! Excerpt from Cut Both Ways The Thread That Binds You’re the center of my world. My every breath, my every thought. The pain I caused you has destroyed my viscera, along with my heart. What you feel, I feel. The ache that binds us together will make us stronger. Never have two lost souls, been destined to search out, find, and connect, as ours. I will not let go. I cannot let go. you have wedged yourself into my heart, and have sewn it shut, to be there for an eternity. © All Rights Reserved P.S. Rowland

Marvelous March

TA DA! We made it to spring. And what a beautiful time it is here in Eastern Washington. With scheduled highs in the 70s, sunshine, and clear skies.  

The local authors Book Buzz was a smashing time had by all. The Pybus Market was an excellent, fun, and creative venue to hold this event. I had the opportunity to meet new authors, and catch up with others that I have already had the pleasure of meeting. The support from the community was overwhelming, friendly, and many books past hands. 

This should come as no surprise at this point if you follow my blog, but YES there was wine tasting that followed! 

The month wouldn't be complete unless I had grandchildren time. Dirt biking, and nail painting. Yep, that's how we roll.

With every blog for who knows how long, I have been talking about my next collection of poetry. Cut Both Ways, Peaks & Valleys of a Passionate Relationship. Editing, proofreading, then editing, blah, blah blah. When's the darn thing coming out?

Well it's very soon. The final editing touches are being done now, and the release date should be within three months.  *High 5*!

Until then, I have found a little gem that I think you'd thoroughly enjoy.  A collection of poetry entitled Life, Love, Faith and Fun in Poetry  by Marian Adams. You'll love it.

I thank you for your continued support, and appreciation of my work, and wish the very best to you and your families.

Excerpt from Cut Both Ways ~

Heat

The caress of your words against my skin.

The feel of your love as it depends within.

The passion in your eyes as they bore through my soul.

Our inner connection is what makes me feel whole.

Your wanton desire lay bare before me.

My moans in your ear are my heartfelt plea.

The need for more as our bodies entwine.

Blending into one, I'm yours, and you're mine.

Fabulous February

Hi everyone, time for me to check in! 

I hope you've had a fabulous month filled with books, positive vibes, and love for all that is around you.  

One of the big highlights for me this month was my team went to Super Bowl!  Go Seattle Seahawks! So close, but I still stand behind my team. 

Of course being the wine lover that I am, it became necessary to slip in a bit of tasting as well in beautiful Chelan Washington.  "Fielding Hills" was a new, wonderful surprise for us. Elegant atmosphere, friendly people, and we were greeted by three sweet dogs as we entered the winery.  They kept coming back checking on us throughout our tasting process, it was lovely!  

My current manuscript has passed through the hands of 3 beta readers, and is now settled in with my publisher.  I've been working with two graphic designer's for the cover. I think for me this is the toughest part of the whole process, trying to relate my vision to someone else, in order to make the perfect cover.  

Many have been asking what the title of my next book with be, well here it is! Are you ready? Well are you?!  

The title of my up coming release is  

Cut Both Ways 

Peaks & Valleys 

of a 

Passionate Relationship  

Expressed Through 

Poetry

In between working on my current book, I have started my third!  So the writing continues! 

Signing off, I wish the best to all of you, never stop reading, never stop dreaming, and never stop believing in yourself.

His love fell 

from his eyes

deep into

my soul
