Dr. Stephenson wrote a book entitled, Conversations. I would like to share my thoughts after reading it.
After I read Conversations, I cried, smiled, and felt a peacefulness that I had not felt in some time. How can you, honored Dr. Stephenson absorb all the pain that you are exposed to routinely? The answer was within your poetic, I will call them reflections, for me the reader. This is indeed a must read! This will be read more than once. I plan to buy several not because the proceeds will go to a wonderful cause, but because the content needs to be shared. Thank you for writing this and publishing it. I commend you for the excellent ability to pen and the exhaustive care you give ( have given) to patients.
Humbly,
Brigitte Elko

    October 18, 2017 at 6:54PM
    Brigitte Elko: Yes, hardback is 27.00 at xlibris.com. I had no input. This publisher charges by pages. The more pages the cheaper they sell them. So sorry, out of my control.
    I have learned through this process!! Brigitte

It has been suggested by a review that my latest poem, "What's Death? Tommy wants to Know" should be published in magazine. I wish I knew where to submit because it has relevant content.

October 8, 2017 at 2:14PM
    evesayshi: I suggest going online and searching for Children's Magazine Publishers, of which I believe there are a few...
    November 3, 2017 at 9:15PM
    MissMerri: I'd suggest buying a copy (or using the one in the library) of the 2018 Writer's Market, and look in the section for Children's Magazines.
