Because Red Is Your Favorite Color is Shawn’s third published collection of poetry. As a frequent Open Mic and Featured Poet Performer, she has become known for her heartfelt, passionate verse.
She has written this collection especially for lovers…
…. who are trying to find love through the art of flirtation,
….who have discovered passion and are feeling the yearning from a long distance relationship or perhaps just can’t bear to be away from each other for even a day,
….who are lucky enough to be involved in loving relationships so deep they are free and confident to express their ecstasy,
….who are feeling the pain of heartache, betrayal or loss,
….and who are bravely trying to start over again, knowing that love and companionship are worth giving it one more try.

Wish I could take the credit for the cover. The concept, design, photo and artwork is due to the creative genius of Robert Sanders. If you'd like to see more of his work go to www.TheGreatShot.com and www.RobertSandersPhoto.com for two distinct displays of his work and credentials.

Shawn,
I must admit I'm not big on poetry (unless set to music) but I must also admit I think your book cover is truly a work of art and will definitely catch one's eye. Congrats.
