Dear Readers,

I am pleased to tell you that I have just published my 3rd book, ABC to Enlightenment. It's not a book of poems but weekly words of advice sent to my children and grandchildren through the magic of email. I wrote them for consecutive 26 weeks, January to July 2011 starting with letter A for Action, B for Beauty, C for Courage to the last letter Z for Zeal.
