This is synchronicity at it’s best. I bought your book last night and stayed up and read it from cover to cover. It was like a journey into the world of fairies and adventures into the land of nature folks. All your stories and poems are wonderful.
“Just What the Doctored Ordered” was a real treat. It’s what I’ve wondered if some of the haunted houses we’ve heard of are experiencing.
I don’t want to give anything away. I enjoyed how you covered the basics of the fairies and presented a collection of poems and stories that delight the imagination.

I appreciate that so much. I’ve bought and read so many poetry books… unless you are hardcore into poetry they are difficult to read. I thought the short stories added to the mix. I tried to include poetry in the stories to keep it fun. Thanks, Michael. You made my day! ❤
