- Ren Powell My 2012 book would require selling a kidney if you don't live in Norway (expensive book to begin with, and the exchange rate is absurdly in my favour). *But* my selected works with Phoenicia is still availablehttp://www.phoeniciapublishing.com/mercy-island.html
It includes Red-eared Slider (a memoir cycle) and poems I wrote about working with PEN and persecuted writers. Thanks for the opportunity, Marly!
- Nancy Peacock THE LIFE AND TIMES OF PERSIMMON WILSON - Lystra Books and Literary Services - summer 2013 - " 'I have been to hangings before, but never my own....' From this riveting beginning to the last perfect word, Nancy Peacock grabs her reader by the throat and hangs on for dear life as the action moves from a Louisiana sugar plantation to life among the western Comanches, bringing to blazing life her themes of race and true love caught in the throes of history. The Life and Times of Persimmon Wilson is as deeply moving and exciting an American saga as has ever been penned." - Lee Smith

Lady Word of Mouth was created as an announcement site--no more and no less--to inform readers about forthcoming and new books (mostly poetry, literary fiction--including fantasy--and nonfiction.) Founded by poet/novelist/writer Marly Youmans, the site currently features writers she knows in the real world and via facebook and other faux-world places. Authors do reply to comments (here, or elsewhere at social media links.)

A taste of things to come--
A post of hors d'oeuvres that promises more substantial platters soon... I hope to have more than snips, and will afterward archive posts and then put cover/jacket images in the side columns. As it's more a sort of showcase of what's on offer than a review site (though may feature review clips), I'm just planning to stay with what writers want to show. So we shall see what that means.
