I wish I WERE in that area, Eric, I would certainly enjoy coming by to purchase a copy of your book and getting it autographed...I hope all goes well and that everything "clears up" accordingly after the storm!  Even though I'm no where near it - I've seen what tornados can do...and for right now, that's storm enough for me!

Congratulations!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes but the Baltimore Book Festival has been cancelled due to street flooding in the city.
This was a major event and there was too much planning to be able to simply reschedule. So it has been cancelled untill next year.

I am due to release my 5th volume of poetry soon...so by next year I will be promotinga new book as well. As I told a dear friend...no oppurtunity is ever lost!

Thanks again.

Love,
Eric

Dear Eric, I am so sorry to hear that the Festival could not be postponed and that it was just cancelled!

But it is great to know that you are serenely looking forward to further opportunities and to learn that you will publish soon your fifth poetry book. Can't wait to possess it! All of your books are true gems of beauty and wisdom.

Hugs. Margherita
