All are invited to attend! #jungcenterhouston #wivla #fairytale #sablebooks |   |

 I am elated to have my second full length collection of poetry published by Sable Books. Fairy Tale is now available at Sable Book's on-line store: Click Here to Purchase.
Fairy Tale is also available in Kindle format on Amazon.com. Readers "dance barefoot over the points of stars," find that "a good séance is the art of illusion," and learn how "shades of blue and violet turn the dark a deeper black." Fairy Tale is a sunrise after a moonless night, and Langley is its faithful alchemist, whispering light through every page.--Stacy Nigliazzo, poetry editor of PULSE: Voices from the Heart of Medicine The poetic imagery is stunning. This poet dances on flames.--Gregory “Goyo” Candela, author of Shallow-Rooted Heart Compelling, utterly human, and remarkably honest, Fairy Tale investigates the uncertain edges of our unique emotional landscapes.--John Sibley Williams, editor of The Inflectionist Review #sablebooks #fairytale #fairytales #ghostpoems #balletpoems #lightandshadow #magic #trueheroes  Warmest thanks to Christal Ann Rice Cooper for interviewing me for her Backstory of the Poem series! I am also feeling immense gratitude to my brother, Frederick Hall, for being a constant support and inspiration (and to whom this forthcoming book is dedicated)!
Sable Books has just sent Fairy Tale out to the printer! Special thanks to Danny Krawiec, Sable Books' art director, for allowing me to work so closely with him on the cover design. As fellow authors will attest to, it is extremely rare to have a publisher who is willing to fully collaborate with an author who shows up with their own vision for the book's cover. Fairy Tale's launch is estimated to be in the first quarter of 2023. Will keep you posted!
