It's been a full day.
This morning it was spelling, punctuation and layout fixes. Then it was font size 3 in the Kindle reviewer looking perfect, but my tablet was throwing the word "Amen" all alone at the top of a new page. Anyone who publishes poetry on KDP will know that feeling — you fix one page and the next thirty pages all move.
But tonight, I'm pleased to say — Kingdom Poetry Volume 1 and Kingdom Poetry Volume 2 are both now live in hardcover, as well as eBook.
The journey behind it
These poems weren't written to be perfect on a page. They were written in Dewsbury, in real life — in prayer, in the kitchen, in between.
Publishing them has taught me that layout matters too. If a poem takes two pages, that last line and that Amen need to stay together. It's the same with faith — you keep things together; you don't let them get separated and orphaned at the top of the next page.
I learned today about Shift+Enter vs Enter, Ctrl+Enter page breaks, and ticking "Keep lines together" — and I also learned to let a tomato, chilli, sugar and anchovy sauce reduce properly before serving the spaghetti!
Both lessons are the same: don't rush it.
What you will find inside
Volume 1 is where it started — prayers, psalms and pieces from the early walk.
Volume 2 goes deeper — more refined, more citations checked, more concise where it needs to be, but still with the same heart.
Both are now available as: eBook — for your Kindle, tablet or phone
Hardcover — for your shelf, for gifting, for keeping
If you already bought the eBook, or if you got the eBook for free on promotion, thank you.

What's next
I'll be sharing the links on Twitter and Facebook tonight, with a photo of tonight's celebratory spaghetti — because writing is hungry work.

Leave a short review — even "Amen" will do (just not on its own page!)
