Spare A Thought…



Spare A Thought…

Do you hear the siren’s brazen challenge,
demanding the right of way?
Spare a thought then, if you will.
Don’t let the cry fade away,
lost in the day’s soundscape.
Think!  That strident bellow declares
some human has, this very moment,
had a day of hope and dreams,
of mundane routine or happy freedom,
torn from their grip, their futile grasp.
A death, an injury, a calamity.
A theft, a murder, a pointless brawl.
Whatever the cause, spare a thought.
Allow a touch of sadness, of regret,
that some fellow person has lost
and is now left, forlorn.
Don’t be like all the rest,
who let the sound pass unnoticed,
or curse the raucous din,
or make thoughtless quip.
Do you hear the siren’s plaintive plea,
asking that someone care?

Don't Forget...

Yes, it's very important!  Don't forget that if you want your book advertised for free, send in your submission!  It's very simple.  All you need to do is copy'n'paste the details from whatever site carries the information (e.g. Amazon) into the form on this page.

If you do have a problem with the form, just let me know!

Remember, Book Promo Day is on a Thursday each week - if enough submissions are received.  You can submit one book per week, though it may be wise to skip weeks so you don't risk annoying anybody by 'flooding'.

So, get your submission in - you have until 9pm BST on a Wednesday.

Why am I here?

Really!  Why am I here?

The answer's quite simple.  Many people are Blogger addicts.  I'm not one of them.  You will see a link above here pointing at "Steve K Smy's Main Website".  That will take you to where I really live and thrive on the internet.  So if you want all the information, and my posts on the wold of writing an publishing, authors and their books, you're best advised to go there!

I'll use this blog for my rambling thoughts about being an author, from time to time, but the deep stuff is on my home blog.  I'll also announce new books/ebooks as I release them.
