The other day I decided that I’d gotten into a rut with my reading. It was time for a little something different. So when Jazalyn offered me a copy ofRose: Future Heart to review, I jumped at the chance for a little poetry.
It was a quick read. Most of the poems were between 10 and 15 lines. The themes were universal: love, betrayal, self-acceptance, personal growth, and some allusions to bullying. They were mostly general. No details were given about the situations that inspired the poems. The point of view either was from a “She” perspective or a first-person “I” perspective and written in free-verse with occasional rhyme and meter.
For a little light reading, this book was fine. However, if the reader wants a little more substance, then they probably won’t find it between these covers. The vagueness of the incidents described and the focus on the poet’s emotional state kept the words from sticking. On the other hand, the book is ideal for teenagers and young adults just coming to terms with being themselves. The poem Im-Possible Dream is a good example. In it, the poet talks about how they have yet to achieve anything just yet but has the confidence that soon that will change, much like any young adult at the precipice of becoming.
So if you are looking for something along the lines of literary Tik-Tok, then Rose: Future Heart is for you.
Perhaps you have experienced something in your life that would add value to a child’s development and understanding of the world. With a children’s book, you can open a child’s mind to important issues and help to prepare them for their life journey.
A story can safely take children out of their inner world and open their hearts to experience kindness, empathy, and compassion for themselves and others. Stories can also help them to understand in gentle terms complex subjects like death, divorce, and where babies come from.

If you remember, a few months ago, I launched Self-Publishing for Beginners via Teachable. My goal was to provide a resource for aspiring writers to learn about the ins and out of self-publishing without being overwhelmed. Well, much to my delight, one of my courses, A Beginner’s Guide to Book Marketing on a Budget, is included inInfostack’s Write Publish Profit 5.0 Super Stack, available June 7-12.
Before sharing the tidbits I’m most excited about, I thought I’d give you some information about Infostack itself. Infostack is a platform that curates the best of the best eBooks, apps, membership sites, and courses on select topics and offers them in a “Super Stack” for a limited time at a deeply discounted price. Topics in the past have included healthy living, writing tools, side hustles and entrepreneurship, and even cryptocurrency.
You have access to all the neat little items for 12 months for a one-time fee. Since Infostack offers a 60-day, 100% satisfaction guarantee, there’s no risk. If you find that the Super Stack isn’t for you, you can request a refund up to 60 days after you purchase it.
Unlike other bundle companies, once the Infostack Super Stack sale is over, it really is over. There are no flash sales or repeats. So if you are interested in an Infostack, you need to get it while it’s available. If a particular topic is popular, Infostack may create a new Super Stack. Upcoming stacks include Keto Lifestyle 4.0, Side Hustle Toolbox 4.0, The Ultimate Crypto, The KidLit Creators 2.0, The Kick Sugar Super Stack, and, of course, Write Publish Profit 5.0 that I’m a part of.
What is included in the Write Publish Profit 5.0 Super Stack from Infostack?
As a writer, I’m itching to dive into the other Super Stack contributions. I’ve been allowed a “sneak peek,” as it were, and here are some of the items that have caught my eye.
The Author Essentials Planner from Yolanda Allen promises to be the only business planner you’ll ever need for your writing career. Whoop! Send it to me, baby! Then there is a 50% off coupon for RockingBookCovers.com that I’m looking forward to checking out. You know that my friend Claudia Guzes normally does all my illustrations, and that won’t change. But, I do need some help with the layout.
Beth Barney is offering a Clarity and Changework session for creative writers. Bet you didn’t know book coaching was a thing? Well, it is. And the sessions that I’ve been able to attend from various coaches have been truly beneficial, both to me as a writer and in honing my writing process and skills.
Then Candace Havens has a workshop entitled Revision Hell. Let me tell you, the editing process is nothing to sneeze at. I am guilty of putting it off and putting it off and putting it off, which means my manuscripts (yes, in plural) lay languishing in the cloud unpublished for ages.
Blogging 105: 105 Ways to Blog and Podcast as an Author, An Expert, and a Real Person by John Kremer sounds exactly what I need to get a boost at Creative Teachings (ceflores.com), my official author platform.
