Progress with my forthcoming poetry collection

I have now ordered another proof copy of my collection, "Colourful Chaos and Familiar Darkness", incorporating a few minor changes.  If all is well, I will make the collection "public access" and available to purchase.

This is an A4 edition of the collection, as explained in a previous blog post.  I hope to produce an A5 version, also - and possibly an eBook.

Colourful Chaos and Familiar Darkness: update

I received the initial/"proof" copy of my forthcoming collection, "Colourful Chaos and Familiar Darkness", yesterday.  I had somehow managed to order it in A4 format - but Colin and I both loved it, and could see definite advantages to the larger print size, and the fact that my photographic art work was also displayed to good effect, in this format.  However, I do still want to produce an A5 book, like my other Lulu collections, which will sit comfortably upon bookshelves, and have the "feel" of a traditional poetry book.  Because of the set-up on Lulu, I can only make the book available in both format, to my knowledge, by uploading it twice - which I am now intending to do. 

There are also a couple of minor alterations which I may need to make to the content of this collection.

Due to the factors just described, it will take slightly longer than I had hoped and anticipated, to make the book available.  I will announce on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and this blog, when the book is published.
