autumn-red I am pleased to announce that the Autumn 2013 Showcase is now published, with a sudden red theme to the haiga and illustrations. To visit, hover your cursor over the ‘Experience’ tab and look for the link. Alternatively, click here.

While I have your attention, how would you like a free e-book? P’kaboo Publishers are giving away 100 copies of four of their most popular titles – novels for readers of all ages. There’s no catch, but readers are invited to take part in Round 2 of the publisher’s ‘Facebook Share Contest’ – all a reader has to do is write a review of the book(s) of their choice; the name of every reviewer will be put into a draw for a free printed copy autographed by the author – I believe there are three of each books available. You can check it out for now at Lyz Russo’s blog

questions and zen

September 22, 2012September 22, 2012 angie werrendeb.scott, marie.marshall, poetry1 Comment

two wonderful publications have gone live recently and due to the kindness of some very lovely editors,
a few of my poems have been included. it is time (past due) for thanks!

first, a ‘thank you’ to marie marshall for including me in the autumn 2012 showcase on the zen space. do stop by for a leisurely stroll … then on your way home, drop into amazon and order marie’s new novel Lupa! everyone needs her own copy. congratulations, marie!!

and a ‘thank you’ to dale wisely for including my poem in questions, the new mini-issue at right hand pointing. I’m so happy to be able to share that space with fellow poet-friend deb scott and other awesome writers. it’s a great read; don’t miss it!

joyful moon –
I sing with the voice

“summer 2012 showcase” — ‘the zen space’

airbursts, shattercones and the space for zen

June 1, 2012June 1, 2012 angie werrenpoetry5 Comments

I’m happy (and a few other words, too) to announce that today marks the publication of my poetry in two different places. a great, heart-felt ‘thank you’ to marie marshall for including me once again in her wonderful ‘the zen space’ — in the Summer 2012 Showcase. come help celebrate Matsuo Bashō’s famous haiku; you may just notice some familiar ‘feathered’ friends during your wandering.
