See below for three video links... videos from my new e-book, Worlds Inside The Head. Note that picture quality on the original CD is better, these were adapted for fast download.....
 1: Click here to watch & hear the RealMedia video: Missing (poem)
 2: Click here to watch & hear WMV video: Poor Old Mrs. Postlethwaite (poem)
3. New! Excerpt from "Fields of Lilies" filmed in W. Sussex, England (poem)
4: New! Click here to watch & hear WMV video: Sales Warriors (poem)
The Sales Warriors video has been linked to some unusual pages including several blogs and a commercial website about the January Sales here in the UK.
AOL users: Try pasting the URLs into Internet Explorer, with AOL running. Then click the link. Also AOL's preferences can be set so that its default player is not automatically triggered - see Settings, top of screen.
The second video is a WMV file, which should work on most new versions of Windows Media Player.
Audio 1: Recital of my poem Temptation by Natasha, from London's XFM radio
(Natasha is the sexy-voiced DJ who used to host XFM's "chill out" zone but now does far more. XFM can be found on the internet, or 104.8 FM. She read this poem of mine aloud some years ago, as part of a drive to get us to email in erotic poems - and I was lucky enough to tape it just in time.)
Accomplishments: Have won two internet arts awards from Kedco Studios Artist Profile Press, also Poesie Laissez Faire Foire virtual web award and other website awards.
