Category Archives: My Books

It started with a hand printed book of junior high school love poetry. I went on to create an award-winning children’s activity book without even trying. So I decided it was time to write and publish MORE books. Here they are. ENJOY and thank you for BUYING them, I only publish that which I would buy myself! www.amazon.com/author/annetterochelleaben

Poem in Your Pocket Day 2023

Proud Momma Moment

Received the email late yesterday that Tell Me a Story in 99 Words had been awarded a 2023 READER READY AWARD HONORABLE MENTION from Author Shout. I am over the moon with happiness!

This is my most recently published book and it is now a multi-award winner. 

 Thank you to everyone who inspires me to keep writing in genres outside my comfort zone. Now that I have dipped my toes into the water with this book, I look forward to wading in above the ankles!

Random Acts of Poetry Day 2022

 Experience the joy of being a “secret Santa” in October!  That’s right, we have the opportunity to “gift” someone a smile, a hug, or some inspiration all day today. How? By joining in the fun of:

RANDOM ACTS OF POETRY DAY

 You can leave one on a chair. You can slip one into a mailbox. You can tuck one in with your tip after lunch. You can orate to the critters at the park! Limits? We don’t see no stinkin’ limits! Unleash your poetic soul on an unsuspecting, but deserving world with unbridled joy. Be brave! Be clever! Be random!  Most of all, have fun. 

Regardless of where you may roam

have some fun, and leave behind, a poem
