LINES AND WRINKLES – A Collection of Poems

You can buy the book (signed and dedicated to you!) directly from Stephanie for £5.00 plus P & P.

The book is illustrated by local artist Danny Mooney.

Many of the poems are about Hastings, but also cover all aspects of Stephanie’s varied life, including childhood memories, and travel. Sales of the book benefited three charities.

‘.. beautiful, thought-provoking, inspirational, sad and funny at the same time.’

‘I read your poems cover to cover, and being a great fan of coastal walks and sparkling turquoise sea, I particularly liked the Cornish Coast Path poem as well as the Slugs and Snails Sonnet.’

‘Many thanks for sharing your life story through your poetry. Danny’s illustrations are a bonus. ‘

‘I just wanted to say how moved I was by your poem ‘In memory of Sue G.’

‘Please can I buy another copy of your book – I was reading a few of the poems to my Ma over the phone and they really delighted her….’

I’m enjoying the poems…. I like the Poldark one particularly’

‘I really liked ‘What My WI means to Me’. That sense of belonging to a community is taken for granted by many but it is hard to come by for some of us.’
