Let me know if it's available in hard copy anywhere.

My own contribution is a stageplay (well, best on an icerink really!) You can check it out at http://amzn.to/Q5yAk2. It's called POWERPLAY We hockey nuts need to stick together! <br />CallyPhillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15481379296340077102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-607719101484462692.post-46315713467395244332012-11-24T22:16:29.207+00:002012-11-24T22:16:29.207+00:00Thanks so much for your comment!

I enjoyed the review of your book over on Vulpes Libris and I hope to read it at some point! <br /><br />In fact - as I've mentioned elsewhere on the blog - my mother is from Finland so I guess hockey is in the blood.

I've been hockey mad since I taught English to engineers in Finland many years ago and the only thing they wanted to 'converse' about was the finer points of hockey. Then, they would happily talk for hours. Now I've written a Scottish/Canadian hockey novel. But the poem is just perfect.Catherine Czerkawskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14554969254207924049noreply@blogger.com
