As an indie author, I have been approached by scammers so many times that I could write a book. I'm not the only one, of course.

One question I often see on social media is: How do I spot a book review scam? Here is a case study that should help.

In 2019, I decided to challenge myself by inventing poetry forms. Since then, I have created (and co-created) six.

The Sixku came first.

Sixku are six-word, untitled poems based on the haiku, my favorite form. Each piece must be inspired by and contain a photograph.

Here are examples:

Just finished reading a bunch of excellent submissions for our PoArtMo Anthology: Youth Edition (Volume 2).

If you know a young writer between the age of 13 and 16, tell them that Auroras & Blossoms is looking for them!

I started dabbling in film photography because of my love for images from the very early days of photography. I feel like a kid in a candy store every time I look at them.

Here are a few of my favorites:

When I started writing poetry, I was mostly interested in free verse, with occasional rhyming schemes. As time went by, I settled for micro-poetry, with a focus on haiku. From there, I went on to create my own poetry form.

Now, I (very) occasionally pen a long piece. “There Is a Love” is the latest one. It wrote itself.

I met Kallie Marie very recently on social media. When she mentioned her book, “Conversations with Women in Music Production,” I knew I wanted to interview her.

I’m delighted that she accepted to answer my questions.
