Welcome
to my first foray into a blog. I
realise most blogs have a topic of interest, theme or the like but, at this point
my blog maybe quite random as I gain my blogging feet. In
this post I will give a brief run-down about my published efforts to date (plus
information on where to find them) as well as the up-coming release of an eBook
of poetry co-written by my partner,
Kevin, and me - Forming a Picture of You. Tea With Miss Tilly,
illustrated by Philip Webb, was published in 2012 by HarperCollins NZ Ltd. It’s
a picture book written for 3-7 year-olds. Miss Tilly is the epitome of a
storyteller, someone/something I hope survives the techno highway we are
accelerating at breakneck speeds down. If
you wish to purchase Tea With Miss Tilly,
please follow this link to HarperCollins: Tea
With Miss Tilly, by Justine Payen & Illustrated by Philip Webb To
read the story Only Fools & Murder
I wrote for one of my Massey University papers please follow this link: Only Fools &
Murder . Also, my Kiwi take on a Brother’s Grimm fairy tale, The Twelve Dancing Princes can be found
here: The
Shoemaker & the Twelve Dancing Princesses.Both Noisemedium.com and Goethe-Institut New Zealand have some
wonderful stories on their sites – it’s well worthwhile staying and immersing
yourself in them. As I said above, Forming a Picture of You will shortly be published ‑ initially as
an eBook on Kindle. I will place up the link to the book as soon as it goes
live, but until then here’s one of the poems. I hope you like it: A Tear For You by Kevin Baddeley I
shed for you a single tear for
every day of every year. And
hold you up for all to see a
gift from heaven just for me. For
you’re the hand and I’m the glove Eternally
we’ll share our love. I
shed for you a single tear for
every day of every year. To
help you through all mortal pain and
set your spirit free again. |
