23/11/07 : try and try again

i saw a comet pass
upon a blazing evening sky
where i was once despairing
i have grown and tried again

woken to a new day
i must attempt to start again
and my work is important to me
as it replaces a dear lost friend

for a short while i wish to discover
the meaning of who i am
so i can be alive and free
to try and try again.

about chipmunkapublishing.com

i only decided to become an author at 26 and even though i had already written my first autobiographical novel, 'dead city streets.' i could not find a publisher... several rejection letters later, it was suggested i try to find a mental health publisher for my work and so after searching the internet, i found the chipmunka foundation and found a medium that would support my efforts to get my voice heard.

thanks to jason pegler, andrew latchford, paul kirven and the chipmunka team i found there were others' out there who also wanted the world to read what they had to say about mental health issues and their time spent under psychiatric care. and so the story was born, as was my first novel out of love, commitment and determination to have the mental health debate laid bare by those who had suffered tormented visions of abuse, violence and hostility: as well as the real concerns of homelessness, drug addiction and poverty

the chipmunka foundation understood and supported me in my endeavor to become a published author through their publishing house chipmunkapublishing.com and are about to publish my second paperback 'guilt, shame and poverty' later this year. it is available now as an e - book by clicking on the blue picture at the top left of the screen, with the headline of the same name.

so if you liked this blog, support the foundation, mental health services and me, of course and purchase one of my two novels by clicking on the pictures which will lead you to one of two webpages that sell my work, and others' -

chipmunkapublishing.com and amazon.
