My secret is out...and you could win a copy!

For the past 18 months, I have been part of a clandestine group called Poetry Pact (or PoPa, as Lydia Kang dubbed us), a group of thirty-plus writers from all over the world who meet regularly online to share poems in process and critique each other's work. We live in Australia, Cyprus, Great Britain, Greece, India, South Africa and the United States and came together thanks to Jessica Bell. Some in the group posted poems almost daily, others of us less frequently. But the main goal has been to spur us all to write more poems.

I am delighted to announce that we have just published an anthology, Poetry Pact volume I.

I think it's safe to say this collection has something for everyone, from lyric and lovely to provocative and edgy. Best of all, the proceeds will be going to charity: Direct Relief International, a group that provides healthcare in areas ravaged by poverty, natural disaster and war.

I have five pieces in the anthology, including one about my worst kiss. If that doesn't sell you, consider my talented co-authors: Angela Felsted, Jessica Bell, Jim Murdoch, Lydia Kang, Madeline Sharples, Richard Merrill, Kerala Varma, Glynis Smy, Alaine Benard, Artemis Grey, Roslyn Ross, Angie Ledbetter, Caleb Mannan, Emily Kruse, February Grace, Janice Williams and J.R. McRae.
