Songs of Heartstrings – Book Launch
My dear friends,
Welcome to my Book Launch party. My book is available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle. Paperback is in black and white and Kindle is in color (see below).
It’s wonderful to see you dropping by to give me support. Please help yourself with some drink.
I would like to tell you about my book. Songs of Heartstrings is my poetic memoir. It has nine themes:
– Songs of Nature – Lessons learned from observing the surviving power in nature
– Songs of Dissonance – The agony, pain, and helplessness in a distressful relationship
– Songs of Physical Healing – Experience in an aggressive cancer, the faith and hope along the process
– Songs of Marriage – The giving and receiving of love in a committed marriage
– Songs of Parenthood – The joy and fulfillment of parenthood
– Songs of Tribute – Remembrance of parents and a true friend
– Songs of Reflection – Thoughts on the daily walk and value of life
– Songs of Challenge – Poems written in response to Colleen’s Poetry Challenge
– Songs of Inspiration – Insight on the finite human being and gratitude toward the Maker
As many of you know that I’m a photographer and an artist. I use some of my favorite photos and paintings to illustrate the poems.
I would love to hear from you. Please leave a review at Amazon
Please visit Trent’s Weekly Smile for more posts that put a smile on your face.

That one was so bloody and the fee was outrages. Yes, finding a reputable publisher is the key. But some publisher only publish certain genre and they have editors to edit your book to their liking.

Oh, I guess because I made a tiny correction and they will review it. Otherwise, you should get it the same minute you order. A friend read the whole book of my proofread copy and found one word (his but he makes more sense), so I made the correction before everyone hit the link. 🙂 Thank you for ordering. Now I should get back to my painting. 🙂
