Silver Boomer Books has a new imprint! Laughing Cactus Press is our poetry and fiction imprint.

Jim Wilson's newest book of poetry, Poetry Floats - New and Selected Philosphy-lite, is now available from Laughing Cactus Press. Find it on LCP, Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Shreveport author Laura Flett will be signing copies of her book Writing Toward the Light, A Grief Journey, Saturday, September 12, 1:00-4:00 pm at the Abilene, TX Hastings and Sunday, September 13, 1:00-3:00 pm at the Tyler, TX Hastings. If you're going to be in the area, please stop by. Flett, a single parent, lost her only son to suicide in 2003. Writing Toward the Light, says Flett, “…is the story of my journey from the dark void of fear back into the light of love, and of a pen that encouraged a new acceptance of myself and those around me….” Nationally-known writing teacher Natalie Goldberg has endorsed the book, saying, “This story is a witness to the power of writing.” Goldberg’s colleague Sean Murphy calls it “a testimony of the power of art to heal.” (For further information, please contact Becky Haigler at silverboomerbooks@gmail.com, editor/publisher with Silver Boomer Books)
