All Hail The Second Elizabeth

It was great to learn this week that good friend and fellow Blacksmith for Literary Progress Karen Lillis has given birth to a poetic little novel titled The Second Elizabeth. Karen has a great adeptness with language -- being a poet helps -- so the novel has a rhythm and flow all its own. It is filled with punchy little paragraphs that tell micro prose-poems about the characters, while still fitting into the greater story of the novel.

Knowing that Karen's been hard at work on the novel (and getting it released) for quite some time, I was excited to find my copy waiting for me in the mail.

You can grab a copy here, and I do recommend that you do so.
