Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 06/04/05 04:40 AM

Well those of you who contributed should have your copies of "Cosmic Brownies" by now. Apparently it's selling like hotcakes so that's good news. I'm receiving email from so many contributors who are pleased with the book.

Thanks again to all of you who contributed AND who were so very patient while this new poetry publisher got caught up on their projects and kept us waiting so long!!

Just thought I'd mention that they are looking for contributions to one or two other anthologies AND I think they are still looking for a volunteer editor (like I was for "Brownies") to help with one of the anthologies. You can check the whole thing out on their website:

Hi! Yes! I got my copy yesterday. It did turn out so nicely, and you did a great job.

I was tickled to see Maya Angelou's poem, and that the first half of it is in [Eek!] rhyme, especially since the two you used of mine were rhyming poems [Big Grin] .

I saw a lot of Boomer babes in there, too! What a treat. Thank you so much for including me. [Smile]

Pam, the book looks great! Thanks for the contributor's copy. Nothing like seeing one's name in a book to start the weekend off right! [Wink]

Glad you got your copies ladies! I think Sun is really overwhelmed with the response to this one - it may be a few more days before EVERYONE who contributed gets their copies.

Any Boomer who DID contribute and hasn't received their copy by the end of next week should contact Donette@sunbooks.com.

i'm sure it was as much of a thrill for the others as it was for me to see our names on the back of the book ;-)

I know this can take a while. It happened with the women's devotional. I got mine and some contributing friends got it weeks later [Frown] .

Re: Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 06/29/05 01:44 AM

Rhodi you DEFINITELY should have received your contributors copy by now. Donette (the publisher at Sun Rising Poetry Press) just recently joined the Boomer Forum but might not see this posting of yours since she's learning her way around.

Just send her an email through the Sun Rising Poetry Press website and let her know you have NOT received your copy yet. I'm sure it was an oversight on their part - they are just super, super busy!

Re: Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 06/29/05 04:09 PM

Thanks Pam. I just sent a PM to Donette. Hopefully I'll get my copy soon?

Gee: I hope my book wasn't supposed to be delivered by the FED Ex guys! I hear they love to leave DTs and no packages [Big Grin] , right Queen?

Re: Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 06/30/05 01:53 AM

Donette, Rhodi (our very own Boomer Songbird!!) was a contributor to Brownies....and I sent you an email about this recently (one of the ones you haven't received since you're having email problems). [Confused]

Re: Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 07/20/05 05:40 PM

Pam, where can I order a copy of that?
Posted by: DonnaJ

Re: Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 07/20/05 09:15 PM

Whew! I was on pins and needles til Rhodi got her copy!

Isn't it fun to read all the boomer poems? I finally got a chance to read some of it the other night, and I love the fact that there is such a variety of styles in the book.

Of course, I also like to brag that I'm in the same book as Maya! lol!

Dotsie, you can order it from Amazon OR from the publisher Sun Rising Poetry Press:

http://sun-rising-books.com/sun_rising_poetry_press.html

This is the link to the page of their online bookstore where you can order it...scroll down until you see the beautiful purple cover designed by Donette!

Rhodi I'm glad you finally got your copy and Donna I agree that it's fun to see so many Boomers represented in the pages. I was very happy that so many of you ladies contributed work to the anthology.

Re: Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 07/22/05 04:47 PM

I would be interested to know how many of you on here contributed to Cosmic Brownies as at SRPP every body who contributes are considered part of our family just like our authord and editors .
It would be fun to know who you are
Posted by: Dotsie

Re: Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 07/23/05 03:53 AM

Thanks, I'll order it through Amazon. I added it to my list. I just bought three books last night at Borders so I have to wait a little while before spending more on books.

I got my copy of Releasing Times. I was happy to see boomer stories in there!

There's quite a few BWS poets in there.

Hi Donette,

Five of my poems are in Cosmic Brownies. So does that make me "extended" family as well?
Posted by: DonnaJ

Re: Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 07/25/05 06:50 AM

I have two in the book. So am I a cousin now or something? [Smile]

Re: Cosmic Brownies FINALLY - 07/25/05 03:05 PM

Donette: If considering this songbird family makes you happy, count me in... twice!
