Book Review: The Poetic Prisoner (Breaking Free Vol. 1) by Taym Doraj

By Amazon, Books & Authors, ReviewsNo Comments

Full Disclosure: I edited this book and contributed creatively to the cover design.

Here is how The Poetic Prisoner’s back cover describes the book:

Talented Poet, Taym Doraj takes you on an emotional adventure in The Poetic Prisoner (Breaking Free Vol. 1).

Taym shares poems about his time in prison, his battle with addictions, crime, mental health, broken and dysfunctional family ties during the COVID-19 pandemic.

In this book you’ll find poems about dark times, the desire to change, love, connection, hope and being inspired to transform his life. From life going all wrong, to a positive vibes mindset developed from God, yoga and meditation.

One of the reasons I love this book is because everyone of the poems are brilliant. Taym has a really engaging writer’s voice and tackles tough subjects well. He uses the imagery of dark and light throughout this book and shares how he transformed his life from negative to positive.

Taym hopes to use his life experiences and this book to inspire people to be healthier and happier. It’s a fantastic book that deserves your attention and is thoroughly enjoyable to read. Like most poetry books it is short at just 47 pages. But Taym is clever and doesn’t waste a single word.

The Poetic Prisoner (Breaking Free Vol. 1) by Taym Doraj is available to buy on Amazon.

Review soon,

Editing Someone Else’s Work – Something I Never Dreamed I’d Do

By Books & Authors, Creativity, Friends & FamilyNo Comments

There are some things I’ve never even dreamed I’d do. One of those is editing someone else’s work. But a friend recently asked me to help him edit his book of eclectic poetry for publish and I found myself confidently saying yes.

The definition of editing is:

[to] prepare (written material) for publication by correcting, condensing, or otherwise modifying it.

Dictionary via Google UK, 05/04/2024.

So I guess as well as being a Writer, Author & Blogger I’m also an Editor now.

Write soon,

The Issue All Authors Have

By Amazon, Books & AuthorsNo Comments

The issue all authors have is reaching their audience. I believe every book has an audience and it is the authors job to find the audience for their book(s). There’s a lot written about using social media to help an author find their book’s audience, but I have come to feel that this is really only good for family and friends.

My latest two books haven’t done well sales wise, despite being great books, each in the own way.

So I have decided to run an advertising campaign on Amazon for 1 month for my health-related books: Ways The Human Body Can Go Wrong, The Alcohol Therapy Workbook and Mental Health Wisdom.

I’m also looking into another project with My Royal Navy Friend, but I can’t share details about this right now.

My Best Wishes,

Antony
