Phyllis passed peacefully on the morning of January 9th, 2020.
She wrote eight novels. ISLAND, SPEECHLESS, REPENTANCE, DETOUR, SNAPSHOTS, DEMON, BLAZE, and CHOICES. Seven are on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle versions, along with the novella The Stone House MURDERS. You also may read some of them for free on this site.
They can all be found here: www.amazon.com/author/phyllisastewart
From Phyllis - I began writing twenty years ago, exclusively poetry until fall of 2011, when for some strange reason (I can guess why, but you wouldn't believe it if I told you), I just started writing a book that went on for 140,000 words. I still love poetry and continue to add to my collection of original poems and favorites by others.
Photo is of me with Charisma's Serendipity, a Tibetan Spaniel puppy I bred. She is now an AKC Grand Champion living with her new owner in CA.
I'm also a member at Fan Art Review, our sister site. I do photo retouching and digital paintings from photos on the side. I have galleries of all my work here:

The question is: I added an additional verse to a poem I have previously posted. I had reviews on it, but I want to re promote it with the new verse... How do I do this so it doesn't come across as though it is a new post. Can you tell me how to do this?

I'm looking forward to reading it, along with other books and works of the talented writers here at FanStory, my second home. Hope you all have a wonderful new year. And remember, the only resolution we need is "Keep Writing!" :)

Phyllis Stewart:
First, thanks to all who voted for my winning/tieing 5-7-5 entry called "A Terrible Injustice." I never write that sort of teensy tiny thing, but I couldn't resist that prompt, with the true story I had.
Anyway, just really want to say that those who review an entry for a contest and say "good luck in the voting" but don't bother to vote keep the vote totals low. Winning/tieing with 6 votes when the third entry had 5 votes is largely luck, since there were not enough votes to make a fair contest, in my not-so-humble opinion.
I wish more people would check the contest voting booths every day. You may find some stuff there (stories, poems, and authors new to you) that you really like. Read a few entries and maybe you'll get interested in what folks did with the topic. Maybe you'll even decide that one of them is worthy of YOUR vote. Just takes a few minutes, and it improves the site for all, including YOU. :)

Phyllis Stewart:
Thankfully, Tom has gotten the message from the majority, and we will have our site back to normal in the 'classic' version.
Remember New Coke? Cola lovers complained, so Coca Cola Company brought back "Classic" Coke, so they called it. It didn't take long until both New Coke and "Classic" Coke disappeared in favor of plain old beloved Coca Cola. I predict this site will follow the same path. But it won't matter to me. I'll be drinking Classic FS myself.
