Among the first of my blogging friends (we started following each other a little over a year ago) is Stefan (Maxima) and while we live in different countries, neither the distance nor the language has prevented us from being great online friends. From the very beginning I was drawn into the poetic and loving nature of his posts and poems.
The photographs he takes (many are from the roses in his flower garden) are beautiful. His music unique and special. All parts of his blog are produced for the effect of pleasing and entertaining his daily visitors – most especially his poems of love!
Recently Stefan published his first book of love poems. He has put the same care and beautiful sensuality into each page. I encourage you to visit his blog and find out more about his book “Don’t Let Tears Kiss My Face”, click here. Emotionally sensual and vivid, a delight to the mind and eye. Available soon through BookRix to all of those who wish to read and purchase. Congratulations Stefan, well done!
I would like to personally thank Stefan for posting an interview with me, this past Friday, promoting the children’s book, ‘The Shy Butterfly”, written by myself and illustrated by Debbie Edwards.
Your support is greatly appreciated Stefan, I thank you from ~ my heart to yours, dear friend.

Hi! Thanks for stopping by and for your good wishes. It is very much appreciated. On behalf of Stefan and myself, we thank you! Have a wonderful rest of your week! 🙂
That’s excellent. I have been reading Stefan’s blog for some time as well, and he always does wondrous poetry. I think I will see about buying his book when it is released. His poetry is always something to enjoy.
Good Morning Alastair. It is a wonderful blog and yes he does! I am glad to hear you might buy his book. I think it will definitely be worth it, my friend! Sorry I’ve been so absent in follows, crazy schedule here right now. Hopefully will improve soon! 🙂 xo
That’s okay. I know people are busy all the time. I am busy myself so aren’t managing to get to the places I usually want to at the moment.
I have a few books I wish to buy from other readers including our dear Roxi.
Also, I don’t know if you remember my fiction I did last year .. “An Offer …”, well I wrote another piece for it yesterday, and I have decided that I am going to rewrite the first four and upload them to Wattpad. I think it will help with everything else that I am doing at the same time 🙂
I hope you have a good day today my friend. Hugs to you all over there.
Hugs to you also dear friend! 🙂 xo
Nice tribute! And that’s quite a good drawing of a rose!
