Thank you to Pete of BeetleyPete blog for hosting me with the guest post.
Pete has a fabulous blog full of stories about his life, past and present, walks with his dog, Ollie, and all sorts of topical discussions. Pete also writes and shares some excellent serialised stories.
This post is about Poetry Treasures, a new WordCrafter anthology with poems by Frank Prem, Annette Rochelle Aben, Colleen Chesebro, K. Morris, Victoria Zigler, Sue Vincent, Geoff Le Pard, and myself. This post is about how this anthology came to be created and includes my reading of one of Sue Vincent’s beautiful poems.
Thank you for sharing, Pete, it is appreciated.
Today I am delighted to feature author, poet, and blogger, Robbie Cheadle.
Robbie Cheadle has published nine books for children and one poetry book. She has branched into writing for adults and young adults and, in order to clearly separate her children’s books from her adult books, is writing for older readers under the name Roberta Eaton Cheadle.

Her books for older children also incorporate recipes that are relevant to the storylines.

A wonderful post and congratulations on being part of ‘Poetry Treasures’. I was moved by your reading of Sue’s poem. I’ve left a longer comment on Pete’s blog.
