This is going to be very cool. A bio and links to every artist we've ever published is being created (you'll have to sign up to be included). It's going to be a place you'll want to be found!

Santolina Edward Bowles, commonly known as cotton lavender, has creamy button like flowers above scented foliage and loves a sunny dry spot in the garden or a pot. Use it as a moth deterrent 🌱 or leave it for the pollinators 🐝 #flowers #herbs #gardeningfeed

Good morning. Still on my solo spot for a Sunday protest poem. All a bit tongue in cheek so far, but we’ll see where it goes. This is a very old one, so the cultural references were very dating. I changed one of them. It was placed in a competition oh so long ago… #blueskypoetry #poem #protestpoem

#PoemsAbout #WordsUnsaid In response to this prompt I dug out and reworked a very old one that appeared in an anthology in 1986(!) Perhaps I should have left it in peace. PS that was a very interesting evening at the @brokenspinearts.bsky.social open mic last night! Greetings to all those who read
