It's my hope that art students will illustrate their own version of the story and that young writers will create their own sequel.
I have small collection of my early poems which is currently available through createspace.com and amazon.com
The book is called This IS Not A Sad Song- I am just remembering.
That book is copyrighted, but during the Summer of 2012 I will be setting up an interactive site similar to the kingoftheblackbirds.blogspot.com one. It will be an interactive platform which invites not only readers comments, but perhaps more importantly the presentation of short works by other writers who were inspired by something from This Is Not A Sad Song.
Helping the creative juices of the world to flow more freely is more important to me than selling a few extra books here and there. I believe that the open source movement can be beneficial to artists, writers and every creative person. Simply having your work seen by many who might not ever know about it can be important. In the long run it could help you get to where you hope to go.
