Tales of the Talisman, Vol. VI, Issue 1, containing my poem, “A Lady’s Guide to First Contact Etiquette“:
“Every lady knows
visiting alien dignitaries
prefer crustless watercress sandwiches.
A truly prepared hostess always keeps a
well-stocked larder;
One is never certain when extraterrestrial guests
will land unexpectedly on the lawn . . . ”
Full poem and more in Vol. VI, Issue 1. Beautiful, glossy, illustrated. Just $7 from the publisher.
