The World's most comfortable Chair

The World's most comfortable Chair

Designed in 1962, a symbol of its time

With wings enclosing whispered secrets in your ears.

The ultimate in comfort, ahead of its time

Buttoned down but free thinking, it withstood the years.

Bloefeld and the white cat gave Bond a hard time

Rock and swivel, like a supervillain, the keeper of your fears.

Iconic, ironic, renamed simply the Sixty-Two

Retro, metro, acclaimed and strictly brand-new.

Test your Survival Skills Here

Test your Survival Skills Here

What unspoken words do you whisper in my ear?

Why are you calling me loud and clear?

Why do you draw me in to your summit

For that one brief moment when I call you mine?

What ancient magic delights to goad me on?

Why risk my life, Everest high or jungle Amazon?

What brave new world do I seek to conquer

For one solitary instant I can say I have won.

I have considered the rules of three: air, water, food and shelter.

I have frozen crossing the ice or migrating over dunes did swelter.

Foraging for food and wilderness navigation,

Lost, mind paying tricks, high temperature and starvation.

Panic? No - prioritise. I need to beat the elements.

A debris hut or nature’s cave, before mind game developments.

What unspoken words do you whisper in my ear?

Why are you calling me loud and clear?

Why do you draw me in to your summons

For that one brief moment when I call you mine?

New Beginnings

It's been a busy time, 2015 seems to be rushing by and I don't know where the time has gone. We have a number of new books to place in our store and Linda and Caroline are preparing for NaPoWriMo 2015.   Each author is publishing a poem a day for the whole of April and we will then compile them into a number of smaller collections to publish during June 2015.

We are also about to publish a new book,  "A Dickens Of A Murder" by Peter Stevens within sideLINES, the branch of the company that supports new authors to put their work into Epub format ready for distribution via the internet.  If you are interested in publishing a book under our branding then please contact us for further details.

As a small company we have been getting our heads around the new VAT MOSS regulations and now feel confident that for the next year at least we will be able to manage the new books by eliminating the automatic delivery of purchased downloads.  This might mean that there will be a 24 hour delay in downloads being released to our customers until we have refined the process.  Please bear with us as we sort this out.

Although I am charged with completing the less creative aspects of LINES Publications, I have been challenged to try to write a book of my own in 2015.  I really must get started on this otherwise there is going to be a major rush to fit everything in this year.

I look forward to sharing the poems with you over the month of April and contacting some of our favourite photographers and illustrators to source illustrations to accompany the poems.
