This week I was delighted to head out to visit D.G. Kaye, Debby Gies for one of her Q & A sessions. I hope that if you have time you will head over to read the post in full.. thanks Sally.
Q & A with D.G. Kaye is featuring Sally Cronin from Smorgasbord Blog Magazine with her Hot #NewRelease – Variety is the Spice of Life – #shortstories and #poetry
November is promotion month here at my blog; and I’m kicking off this week with my dear friend, author/blogger, podcaster, and short story writer extraordinaire, Sally Cronin. Sally is a staunch supporter and promoter of so many writer’s books and blogs. I am also fortunate to be one of Sally’s ongoing guest writers with various columns I write for her on her blog – currently, my spiritual awareness series. My friend Sally tirelessly promotes others and barely a peep from her on the socials about her own new book – Variety is the Spice of Life – A blend of poetry and prose. So I’m happy to share Sally’s book here today along with a little Q & A.
I know most of you here are familiar with Sally and her Smorgasbord Blog Magazine, but she hasn’t been featured here for a while, so today I’m thrilled to have her over and share some more interesting tidbits about Sally and her writing. Enjoy! x

A really informative and interesting article!
PS Sally I love the Lullaby poem. It reminded me that my granddaughter absolutely adored listening to the Everly Brothers when she was a baby! “Devoted to You” put her to sleep every time!

The first time I heard about Sally’s new poetry collection “Variety is the Spice of Life” via Liz Gauffreau on LinkedIN, I knew that I had to have my personal copy to hold as we enter 2023. Sally creates moments with words that invite us to pause, to reflect, to connect. I especially appreciated, her thoughts in “Bear Witness”
do not look away
bear witness to tragedy
give deepest respect
to those who fled tyranny
do not become complacent
