    Thank you, Pat, for supporting Robbie for this segment of her tour. I admire poets even though I do not count myself as one of them. Congrats, Robbie on your tour.

    1. Good Morning Joy,
      It was indeed a pleasure to support Robbie. Thank you for visiting.
      Have a great week.
      Shalom aleichem

  2. Shirley Harris-Slaughter – I love old buildings and history. That's why I ended up writing about the history that surrounded me all of my life - "Our Lady of Victory, the Saga of an African-American Catholic Community." Plus our church had closed and the school is torn down, so I felt it was imperative that we preserve the history or it would be lost forever.
    Shirley Harris-Slaughter says:

    Hi Pat. Sorry I’m late. This is my first time on your blog and so I am following you.

    Robbie I enjoyed listening to the short snippet of your poetry “The Silver Lining.” Listening to you go through the paths of your life was interesting. Thank you for sharing it.

  3. Daniel Kemp – Daniel Kemp is a seventy-four-year-old member of The Society of Authors. He is also a bestselling writer. He writes stories that appeal to those who like challenging themselves to solve mysteries that are set out before their eyes. His introduction to the world of espionage and mystery happened at an early age when his father was employed by the War Office in Whitehall, London, at the end of WWII. However, it wasn’t until after his father died that he showed any interest in anything other than himself! On leaving academia he took on many roles in his working life: a London police officer, mini-cab business owner, pub tenant and licensed London taxi driver, but never did he plan to become a writer. Nevertheless, after a road traffic incident left him suffering from PTSD and effectively—out of paid work for four years, he wrote and self-published his first novel —The Desolate Garden. Within three months of publication, that book was under a paid option to become a $30 million film. The option lasted for six years until distribution became an insurmountable problem for the production company. All ten of his novels are now published by Next Chapter Publishing Company which has added an edition titled The Heirs And Descendants Collection, which holds all four books of that series, alongside an edition titled The Lies And Consequences Collection which contains all four volumes of that series. He is the recipient of rave reviews from a prestigious Manhattan publication and described as—the new Graham Green—by a highly placed executive of Waterstones Books, for whom he did a countrywide tour of book signing events. He has also appeared on 'live' television in the UK publicising his first novel. He likes to write quotes and it's on Goodreads where you can find them--- https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/list/72612151 An example of these quotes opens his novel--Once I Was A Soldier:--There is no morality to be found in evil. But to recognise that which is truly evil one must forget the rules of morality. Less

She advocates for children and childhood literacy and for monarch butterflies, an endangered species. Stevens’s children’s activity book, THE TANGRAM ZOO and WORD PUZZLES TOO! was first published in 1997 by Windswept House Publishing, Mt. Desert, ME; a second edition was self-published by the author in 2012. AMAZING MATILDA , Stevens's second children's book, self-published in 2012, won a 2013 Purple Dragonfly Book Award (Honorable Mention for Excellence in Children's Literature - Ages 6 and older category) and placed #9 on The 2013 Gittle List TOP 10for Self-published Children’s Picture Books.

This short story is a prequel to Stevens's debut novel, DOG BONE SOUP, A Boomer’s Journey released in January of 2015.
    Bette A. Stevens says:

    Awesome, Robbie! 💞

    1. Good Morning Bette,
      Yes, I so agree. The poem reading is awwesome.
      Have a great day.
      Shalom aleichem

    2. Thank you, Bette. Hugs.

    1. Good Morning Liz,
      Yes, the imagery and movement is magnificent. It is so important to get the timing or the movement flowing. It is done well in this poem.
      Shalom aleichem

    2. I’m glad you enjoyed this, Liz. This young man made a big impression on me. I still remember him flying along on this large flat trolley. People collect plastic from the garbage bins and take it to the recycling plants where they get paid a small amount of money. I used to often see them in the mornings and the trolleys are piled so high and look heavy and awkward to pull. This young man was young, only about 18 years old.

      1. I can see why. When I’m driving through a city, I’ll see homeless people with shopping carts piled high with cans for recycling, but they’re never young and never flying along.

      2. They can be young here. Our society is quite different from the USA or the UK.

      3. The more I read what you write about your society, the more interested I’m becoming in it.

      4. Thank you so much, Liz, for visiting Robbie Cheadle on my blog.
        Have a great week.
        Shalom aleichem

  7. Gwen M. Plano – United States – Over the expanse of many years, I taught and served as an administrator in colleges in Japan, New York, Connecticut, and California. Between travels with my husband and visits with family and friends, I write poetry and novels. I'm currently working on my fifth book. Though writing is an accomplishment of no small measure for me, my greatest treasure and most profound source of joy has been and is my four adult children. It is they who have guided me through life’s mysteries.

    Thank you for hosting Robbie today, Pat. I enjoyed listening to her read a poem. All the best!

      Take care.

  11. Reblogged this on Robbie's inspiration and commented:
    Thank you to author, Pat Garcia, for sharing my poem, The Silver Lining, as part of the RRBC March Spotlight author blog tour. Pat has just released a new book so do go over and have a look around.

  12. Hi Pat, thank you for sharing my poem. I hope you enjoyed it.

    1. Hi Robbie,
      I did enjoy it tremendously and that is the main reason I didn’t write an introduction.
      I think this poem is worthy enough to introduce itself.
      Great job, Lady.
      Shalom aleichem

      1. You are very kind, Pat. Thanks again for hosting me and for all you lovely comments. Hugs.
