The memorial poetry collection, Autumn Leaves, put together to honor my late mother, Bonnie Mutchler, is now available from most ebook retailers – except Amazon – for free. Why no Amazon? Because it’s too difficult to get the book price matched, and I WANT the collection to be free.

A poetry collection in memory of Bonnie Mutchler, featuring poems of both fun and fantasy from some very talented poets. Includes poetry by Bonnie Mutchler, Tricia Drammeh, Brenda Brite, Lisa Conrad, DM Yates, Jonathan Harvey, Colleen Marie Keller Breuning, Penny Shortt, Joleene Naylor, M.E. Keyes, Elizabeth Miginnis, and Dora D’Agostino, with special thanks to Pat Leece for the beautiful obituary.
Credit where it’s due: The idea for the collection came from DM Yates, an extraordinary poet, and our title comes from Tricia Drammeh’s fantastic Autumn Leaves poem – written especially for this collection as my mother left behind the (odd) request that her memorial service is to be held in October, no matter the actual date of her death.
