Beryl McMullen was a poet that touched the hearts of many. I would like to introduce you to a book I have published in her memory, titled Poetry D'Jour (Poetry of Today). You are now able to purchase this from major online stores in hardcover, softcover and digital eBook formats. All profits generated will be used to support her website, www.poetrydjour.com.

Special arrangements can be made to purchase the book directly from myself, if you would like to pay by personal check, money order or PayPal. Please e-mail robert.mcmullen@poetrydjour.com for details, thank you for your interest.

I'll put it on my forum certainly, I'm not on Facebook or Twitter

If people are interested in buying it, how do they do that?

Thanks for the comments Chessy and Sheila, once the book is published in December I will be providing more details on where you can actually buy it. I will do what I can to make as many payment options available.

I appreciate you both spreading the word, every bit helps.

I received the first preview of the book today for review and have made several minor changes, mainly with punctuation. We're off to the next step, the publisher makes these changes, shows me one more time, then we're off to print!
