A few new photos and a Song

How beautiful you are, my darling!
    Oh, how beautiful!
    Your eyes behind your veil^(A) are doves.^(B)
Your hair is like a flock of goats
    descending from the hills of Gilead.^(C)
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
    coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
    not one of them is alone.^(D)

Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
    your mouth^(E) is lovely.^(F)
Your temples behind your veil
    are like the halves of a pomegranate.^(G)
4 Your neck is like the tower^(H) of David,
    built with courses of stone^[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,^(I)
    all of them shields of warriors.

Your breasts^(J) are like two fawns,
    like twin fawns of a gazelle^(K)
    that browse among the lilies.^(L)
6 Until the day breaks
    and the shadows flee,^(M)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh^(N)
    and to the hill of incense.

You are altogether beautiful,^(O) my darling;
    there is no flaw^(P) in you.

⁸ Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,^(Q)
    come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
    from the top of Senir,^(R) the summit of Hermon,^(S)
from the lions’ dens
    and the mountain haunts of leopards.

You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;^(T)
    you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
    with one jewel of your necklace.^(U)
10 How delightful^(V) is your love^(W), my sister, my bride!
    How much more pleasing is your love than wine,^(X)
and the fragrance of your perfume^(Y)
    more than any spice!

Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
    milk and honey are under your tongue.^(Z)
The fragrance of your garments
    is like the fragrance of Lebanon.^(AA)
12 You are a garden^(AB) locked up, my sister, my bride;^(AC)
    you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.^(AD)

Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates^(AE)
    with choice fruits,
    with henna^(AF) and nard,
¹⁴     nard and saffron,
    calamus and cinnamon,^(AG)
    with every kind of incense tree,
    with myrrh^(AH) and aloes^(AI)
    and all the finest spices.^(AJ)

You are^[b] a garden^(AK) fountain,^(AL)
    a well of flowing water
    streaming down from Lebanon.

Support Indie Authors

A local book store in Colorado, Back to the Books, is selling books by Independently Published Authors, myself included.  I applaud their courage and willingness to promote as of yet unknown and undiscovered talent.  I encourage everyone to please visit their website  here. 


Here are a few books on the website in the thriller/suspense category:  http://www.bttbonline.net/category.aspx?zcid=2691

    **Thank you, Colleen, for the gentle yet thorough editing of my project. The manuscript is now in the hands of the publisher, and going through the content review phase. Thanks to your skillful eye, I am confident there will be very few alterations required. The editing process is, indeed, a little like being asked to perform major surgery on one's child without benefit of anesthesia. Thank you for respecting the work, the process and my emotional attachment. Most of all, thanks for being smarter than my Spell Check! -L A Day

    **Attention and warning to writers. Learn from my mistakes.  After having 6 books published, I contracted with (and paid) a local publisher to edit, print and distribute (and promote) a novel. My critique group edited the manuscript before I submitted it. The first editing of the manuscript by the publishing company should have been a warning. The editing was unacceptable. I had it redone.

For two years I waited, impatiently, for a galley. I found numerous errors in the galley, had it marked up and was promised that these grammar, spelling and typesetting errors would be corrected before printing.

Six months later, I sent copies of the final, published book for review. Imagine my embarrasment when a sympathetic editor asked to mark corrections (spelling, grammar, typesetting, etc) for me. I agreed. She returned my book, a book that should have been on the market, with errors on over ONE HALF of the pages!

I applaud her concern and effort, and recommend her services, at reasonable cost, to anyone who wants an honest editing job at a fair price.
