Sometimes the wind catches me unawares. A gust of pure delight blowing away useless thought. Just the wind and I, old friends together.
On occasions birdsong stills my brain. Simply the birds and I soaring high.

How To Get Your Poetry Published
A good article on the Poetry Book Society’s website about how to get your poetry published, (http://www.poetrybooks.co.uk/poetry_portal/getting_your_poetry_published).
My book, “Dalliance; A Collection of Poetry and Prose” was self-published using Amazon and can be found here, (http://www.amazon.com/Dalliance-collection-poetry-prose-Morris-ebook/dp/B00QQVJC7E). A print edition is also available and can be obtained by contacting me via newauthoronline (at) gmail dot com.

Crash
door slamming
Heels on deserted pavements echo
The lure of cash
The girl’s heart beats fast
An act
Her life a car crash
The Fall
How prosaic was her fall,
She lost her sock, no great matter at all.
She found it strewn upon the floor,
Oh the banality of it all.
In Praise Of My Local Bookshop
I am delighted to announce that my local independent bookshop, The Bookseller Crow (http://booksellercrow.co.uk/) informed me today that they will stock my book, “Dalliance; A Collection of Poetry and Prose”. I had popped in with a copy several weeks ago and was uncertain as to whether The Bookseller Crow would be prepared to take “Dalliance”. However, nothing ventured, nothing gained and, in this case venturing into my local independent book store paid off. I am excited that my book will soon be available for the people of Upper Norwood to browse and (hopefully) purchase.
“Dalliance” is available in both print and ebook format. For enquiries regarding the print edition please email me at newauthoronline (at) gmail dot com. To download the ebook please go to http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dalliance-collection-poetry-prose-Morris-ebook/dp/B00QQVJC7E (for the UK) or http://www.amazon.com/Dalliance-collection-poetry-prose-Morris-ebook/dp/B00QQVJC7E (for the rest of the world).

A Review Of My Book “Samantha”
My book, “Samantha” tells the story of a young woman forced into prostitution in the city of Liverpool. Can she survive the brutal treatment of her psychopathic pimp, Barry or will Sam end her tortured existence in the murky waters of Liverpool’s Albert Docks?
On checking for reviews of “Samantha”, I was pleased to see that it has received a 5 star review. In a review entitled “Brilliant Short Book” the reviewer writes as follows:
“The characters in this book were bought to life by the way the author told the story. It was like a true scent of this day and age”.
Thank you to the reviewer for their review of “Samantha”. For the review please visit, (http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/R90UBPUL6H1OU/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B00BL3CNHI).

Infringement Of The DMCA
Occasionally I Google my books to see how they are ranking. Yesterday I was concerned to discover that my book, “Street Walker and Other Stories”, which should be available only in the Amazon Kindle store, can, apparently be downloaded from the following (non-Amazon) link, (http://www.ectechnano.com/street-walker-and-other-stories.html).
I didn’t provide Street Walker to ectechnano.com and have no idea how the site obtained my book. Having researched ectechnano.com it appears that it is considered to be a “high risk” site. I am not sure what action to take other than filing a DMCA Notice with ectechnano.com’s Internet Service Provider (I am reluctant to use the contact form displayed on ectechnano.com’s site). Fellow authors may wish to check whether their works can be found on this site.

A Girl Singing
A young woman sings quietly.
What has been done can not be undone, yet her song continues, words floating on the crisp morning air.
Barely out of girlhood, she sings the song of a man who beats women, her mind filled with dreams of street gangs, “power flows from the barrel of a gun”.
What has been done can not be undone.
Just a girl, late teens, heading somewhere, singing.
