I meant it that I do not know you other then the blogs and now reading the book. I felt saying that you seem to have a kind soul (from your blogs)would be more truthful then saying genius (coming from a stranger), until I knew more about you. Forgive how that read, I meant no disrespect. *gets really red* I’m sorry, I did not mean it that way. I meant it that I do not know you other then the blogs and now reading the book.

I know it as fact. I've had the great honour of working with him on my 12th album WAR NO MORE, which Mark produced, arranged, and engineered, with what can only be explained as insight, care, and... genius. Thanks Mark - and yes, I am a genius, too! Mark is a genius. I know it as fact.

Thanks Mark – and yes, I am a genius, too!

I have had mine out since 2005 and knew deep down inside, promoting myself was not going to be easy. I had everyone telling me, "Reine' you have to sped a few hours a day on the web, getting links up to your book. You have to do poetry readings (I am not into reading my own work aloud thanks) You have to go to book stores and sell them on getting your book stocked. It had me to the point, I had lost my love of writing. That whole "networking "thing goes against WHY I love reaching out to others and wHY I wanted them to read my poems. I felt like people seen me coming a mile away with a motive or something. "Here comes that poet chick again with the book, she asked me to help her get a write up in the paper". I dunno who cringed more, me or them! I decided to just put it on a page and let it sell if it was meant to. Maybe it sounds like a cop-out, but it depends on what you see as being successful. I knew poetry would not be on the times best seller list, but I've had many who bought the book and took time to share with me feedback on how it touched them. We are not meant to be everything in this life. It OK to not be good at promo and it's not coping out if you don't want to have that plastic smile and pull all the strings you can remember to market your book. Don't burn yourself out from it. P.S. people think I'm a freak to. I suppose they cannot believe in this day and age, anyone can be sincere and NOT want anything from you other, then to suit their needs. I think you are doing a fantastic job with this, and you took the challenge and at least are trying. I hope you do find someone who can really help you with this sir, because although I am not sure about the genius thing, you seem to have a kind soul. The Universe does not have the answers, we do. WE enlist the universe to SHOW us how to ask the right questions, so we can use what we've always known to be true. Because in the end, it comes back to us.
