Thanx guys! Book will be out winter of 2001 (whenever that is.) It's called "Nature's Echoes."
Cheesy, 'eh!?! Oh well, published is still published. And I can't say I'm not happy as hell. Most in here probably don't dig both poetry and football, and I wouldn't be surprised, but it's an undescribable feeling to have your own words printed in a hard cover book fer' all ta' see. 'Can't wait to see what it feels like... |

Congradulations Brad. Its always refreshing to see someone reach a goal through hard work and persistence. Poetry is great. For your next book you should write a compilation which conveys the frustration it is to be a Chiefs fan 'lo these years.
Hmmm, what the hell rhymes with Grbac? [This message has been edited by DJay23 (edited 09-22-2000).] |

Congrats Brad!!! I'm sure that your one heck of a great writer to get published. The publishing company must put out a lot of money for this so it is a big risk for them. For them to have chosen to publish your work is a HUGE accomplishment. Again, Congrats!!
The closest that I ever came to your accomplishment was to have one of my Writing Professors in College share one of my poems with his classes. That felt great, but I can't imagine how you feel. If you can, maybe you could share one of your unpublished works with us?

Congrats Brad. I've been published several times in an Oracle mag so I know what you mean about the 'rush' of seeing your name in print.
Enjoy the ride and be sure to have 'em punch your ticket for the next go-around. |

I wonder if Poe was this excited the first time he was published?
Congrats, Brad! That's quite an accomplishment! I'm sure your family is quite proud! |
