ANNOUNCEMENT!! Laura Stamps has a New Release! “Doggie Haiku-A Novella in Haiku for Dog-Lovers” is Now Available!
What’s “Doggie Haiku” About?
Cindy is a shopaholic. She’s also the “Treat Lady.” There’s always a treat in her pocket for the neighborhood dogs. But what she really wants is a dog of her own. One day she sees Hazel at the local shelter. A tiny, frightened, senior Chihuahua. And she can’t resist. However, walking a dog in the snow is not her thing. So she applies for a transfer at her job. Soon Cindy and Hazel are on the road to the Florida office. To blue skies, sandy beaches, sunshine, and those Southern men. (Oh, my!) Let the adventures begin…
What are Reviewers saying about “Doggie Haiku?”
“In this charming novella, award-winning poet Laura Stamps gallops her way into our hearts one Haiku syllable and one cute doggie at a time. Her pace is fun and intentional. I read Doggie Haiku first thing this morning. It was a delightful way to start my day. Marvelous storytelling. Beautiful, fun, and very well done. You’ll laugh and smile!”
– Zaneta Johns, Author of Encore: A Collection of Poetry

She Loves Her Trains
She Loves Her Trains
Tracey always loved trains, from the mechanics to the power, she swelled with delight.
Reaching into the toy box for her brother’s train set, when they were out and about, she was excited.
Although she was a girl and girls didn’t play with boy’s toys, Tracey defied this as she played.

Nowadays, Tracey is glad she can openly share her love for train, specifically train sets.
She has never had her own train set, but loves to visit places with trains and loves to ride the train.
