About this Book
“A compilation of sensual, love and relationship poems. Quirky, unusual and evocative.
Shh, Purely Poetry is a collection of poetic pieces about love, sensuality and relationships with sections entitled: love as fuel, (food and coffee love) the summer and winter of love, strangers in love, quirky aspects and nature as sensuality.
Inspired in part by daily prompt poems written for the 365poetrypromptchallenge, observations of places, people and my travels.”
MY RECOMMENDATION
“Shh Purely Poetry” is a playful look at love and sensuality in many forms. This author depicts sex and sexuality, along with love and romance, with creative imagery and wordplay. What I liked most was how normal everyday activities took on new meaning through Mallon’s poetic word choices. I’ll never look at a bowl of cornflakes the same way again!
This collection celebrates love and relationships with an emphasis on the sensual. Many of the poems read like journal entries as they explore the emotions of lust, passion, and sexuality, all tastefully blended with humor and acceptance.
A few of my favorites: “Dining on Poetry,” where love and poetry collide in a soulful dance of words; “The Lusty Witch in Me,” where a woman and her lover explore her writer’s passion; and “Bend It Like a Pretzel,” where a bit of eavesdropping leads to a humorous reflective poem.
This is one unique collection you won’t want to miss!

About This Book
“A collection of short paranormal and dark stories. Includes the award-winning short story, The Bite.
A group of boys participates in a reality television challenge; to the death.
What does it mean to be a Canary Girl? One young woman is about to find out.
Where is the bride? A beautiful young woman goes missing during a game of hide and seek on her wedding day.
Some stories will make you cry, some will make you gasp, and some will leave you believing in vigilante justice. All will end with a grave.”
My Recommendation
“And, the Grave Awaits,” is a collection of short stories dedicated to the theme of life and death. Cheadle probes our human fascination with death, and how people wrestle with its consequences.
Multiple genres are included in this book, including gothic, horror, suspense, and literary historical fiction.
What really caught my attention was how Cheadle used historical facts to spin her tales. She paid attention to the details, which makes each story more and more terrifying to read. Many of these stories are based on true events! How chilling!
The award-winning story, called The Bite, is well crafted as the tale strings you along like a spider taunting his prey! The ending was a great surprise!
If you love Bram Stoker, Edgar Allan Poe, Amor Towles, Stephen Crane, Enrich Maria Remarque, George Orwell, Stephen King, and Colleen McCullough, then this is the book for you!
