I was hoping the Mods and Admins dont mind this post but I was wondering if I could plug this book on here to people.As some of you know I entered a poetry competition to have one of my poems put into a book of poetry written by modern day war poets. The book is written entirely by military personnel, dependents and their families. Its based on their experiences of war. It is being released on Remembrance Day and the proceeds go to the Army Benevolent Fund (ABF) to help injured and deceased personnel and their families. It costs �7.50 on Amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0091946646) and I'm sure you will agree that it is a worthwhile charity! The book is called "Heroes: 100 Poems from the New Generation of War Poets." One of my poems did get chosen to be put in the book and I am attending the book Launch in London in a few weeks. I am very excited and nervous about going but I want to help such a worthwhile charity which is close to my own heart!

Thanks again

Hey all

Thanks for you support. My poem is called "Realities of Army life" its on page 97 of the book. Was a very surreal experience, people asking for my autograph, photos taken, I even got interviewed by the bbc and a radio station!!! Was an amazing night!!!

Here is 1 photo for now, im awaiting further photos. I hope people will buy this book as all proceeds go to ABF (Army Benevolent fund.)

Please can you all help support me in raising as much money as possible for ABF!!! We are in desperate need of people to buy this book!!! Not many have been as sold as we would have liked. Im trying to do a big campaign on the publishers behalf to try and get as many different places/people to stock/buy this book!!! Its really important to me and will help sooo many families and personnel! Please buy this book it is only £7.07 on amazon and would make a great xmas present. Please try and spread the buzz about this book and tell all your friends and family you know one of the poets!

I really appreciate your support

As many of you know i am an army wife based out in Germany and my husband is currently serving a tour of afghanistan. Last year i entered a poetry competition to get my poem published in a book of poems based on life in the army today!! Over 250 applicants entered and just 100 got shortlisted and picked,mine was one of them. I attended the book launch in november as it was released for 11.11.11. This book is split into 4 sections looking at the different aspects of army life. When john received the entries he realised the extent to modern day war still has the same emotions and feelings as it did back during WW1 and 2! There are poems from serving soldiers, wives, daughters, sons, parents and retired service personnel.They cover war from the world wars right through all the conflicts to afghanistan today.

The success off the book meant that a further 3000 copies have been printed. We really want this book to do well.

It only costs £6.80 on amazon and all the authors royalties go to the ABF (Army benevolent Fund).

Please help support this book by buying a copy, telling your friends and leaving feedback on Amazon.

Many Thanks
Hayley
