It’s been a manic few weeks, and after the launch of my poetry book, Poetic RITUals, I haven’t really been touting it, or really promoting it, because, well, life got in the way!
A massive thanks to those bloggers who have reblogged my original posts (Erika, Judy, Rich, Sue, Annette, Hugh) to name a few) , and those who interviewed me and arranged guest posts. (Al, Sally, Chris) For them, I am truly grateful!
I was unaware, until Judy mentioned that she had reviewed my book on Amazon, that I had had any reviews! I was expecting a notification from Amazon, to be honest, so now I understand that I have to keep checking myself!
And I have not one, but TWO 5 star ratings!
Judy wrote:
This book is jam-packed with fun, smiles, laughter and even a bit of the Awww factor. Ritu’s writing is refreshing.and honest; she puts her heart and soul into this book, and it shows. A must-read, especially if you need perking up!
And the other review,
I love this book. My daughter and I have been reading a few poems from it and cannot wait to read more. Lots of funny bits. I can really relate to some of the poems. Some of the best poetry I have read. I’m truly inspired. This book is a must read.
I am so touched!
And eager to hear from anyone else who may have bought it, and read it.
What do you think of it?
Please let me know, and if possible, leave a review on Amazon!!!!

After all this time, finally, you can buy/download a copy of my new Poetry Book, Poetic RITUals, on Amazon UK, Amazon.Com, Amazon – India, Amazon – Australia, Amazon – Canada. The paperback edition is available via Amazon UK and Amazon.com, and from the European sites at the moment, the rest have the Kindle version available.
The Kindle version is available for pre-order, to be released on 29th June 2016, as that is my son’s birthday, so if you would rather get the digital copy, there is a little wait.
But if you are bursting with excitement, and NEED to get a copy in your hands click the above Amazon UK or Amazon.com links.
Poetic RITUals, my first poetry book, is filled with a variety of verse, inspired by family, life, love and laughs.
Please take a dip, and enjoy my rhymes.
If you do, please be sure to leave an Amazon review!
I’m dying to know what you all think!
I got the proof copy in my hand today… it feels surreal!
Editing… It’s not just books you know!

After spending an age and a half scrupulously combing through the online paperback review checker for my poetry book (due for release soon!) and then doing the same for the Kindle edition, submitting for reviews, finding tiny errors then correcting and resubmitting, oh about a thousand times (slight exaggeration😋), I thought I would be done editing for a while at least.
But no…. That appears not to be the case!
Now I’m also in the throes of writing my first ever end of year reports!
Oh what joy! 😐
This is one of the hardest tasks I have had to do! Trying to be positive, where maybe you only have negative things in your mind. I’m becoming a real Spin Doctor here (another string to my bow?😜)
The first editions are almost complete, I think I have 6 more to go, then we sit, my editor (co-teacher) and I, reading each other’s takes and politely trying to change things we don’t necessarily agree with! She is doing one half, I am doing the other, the we get to be each others editors!
It won’t end there.. The cover is not the issue, it’s the data entry that then has to be synced with the reports… Waaaaay too technological!!!!
Oh, and hopefully I’ll get my proof copy today of my actual book! Admittedly I ordered it when I did the first edit check, thinking all was perfect, then I found a few school girl, and formatting errors. Those have been sorted and resubmitted, but once I have a physical copy in my hand, I will press that PUBLISH button, and don’t worry, you’ll definitely hear about it!!!!
Can I Get A Drumroll? ANNOUNCEMENT and COVER REVEAL!

Well, after months of deliberating, and weeks of to-ing and fro-ing, I am finally ready to announce that my first book, an anthology of my poetry is almost ready for publishing!
Here is the finished cover, lovingly produced for me by the wonderfully talented Story Reading Ape, Chris Graham!
I’ll be back with more information with regards to the publishing date.
I have spent an age on formatting the Kindle version, and am just awaiting the paperback proof copy!
Ooooh! I am so excited!!!!! And I had to share it with you!
Please let me know what you think of the cover, and the anthology name!
But I Smile Anyway...
