🎉 It’s Official Release Day! 🎉 This Joyful Interlude, by gifted poet Lawrence Moore. Lawrence’s poems invite us to reflect & find meaning in the in-between moments & the quiet spaces we often overlook. This Joyful Interlude is exactly that: a soft, musical pause in a noisy, discordant world.
Quote from the foreword by Steve Denehan: "The poems here, hopeful and forgiving, are a balm and an antidote to the current coldness of the world. I look forward to getting happily lost in them again and again." Steve Denehan Launch Party flier - link on Eventbrite for a poetry evening tomorrow 20th November on Zoom. Closed captions will be enabled. Release day flier, showing the cover of This Joyful Interlude by Lawrence Moore, featuring a gravestone, 2 magpies and lots of colourful roses.

There’s been a rise in shady offers targeting writers, promising glowing book reviews, agent representation, or marketing packages - for a fee.
🚨 If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
✅ Visit Victoria Strauss's Writer Beware website for advice: writerbeware.blog
🔎 3 Tips to Avoid Author Scams: 1️⃣ Never pay for reviews — Legitimate reviews from readers, bloggers, or trade publications are never "guaranteed" or sold. 2️⃣ Be wary of agents who charge upfront fees — Real agents get paid when you get paid. 3️⃣ Research before you sign — Always Google the name + “scam” or check trusted resources.
