31 Days in May

New book of poems for May ME Awareness Month

by The French Femme

Rosalynde Lemarchand is pleased to announce the publication of her new book ’31 days in May’ under her nom de plume The French Femme.

Ros’s new book of 31 short poems about the reality of living with ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) has been especially written for May ME Awareness Month.

Each day in May Ros will be sharing a poem from the book, so keep an eye on her blog or Facebook page or @frenchros on Twitter.

All proceeds from the book will be donated to Invest in ME Research and the charity’s Chairman, Kathleen McCall, has written the foreword. Ros has set up a JustGiving page Rosalynde’s 31 days in May for donations to the charity.

Ros writes,

Please feel free to share my blog and any of my poems.

I don’t write and publish my poetry to make a living but rather to increase awareness and understanding and to help others who suffer like myself.

It takes a great deal of time and effort and there is always payback on my health. 

I hope my collection of poems convey a strong and simple message. I want better understanding and support. I want the suffering to end.

Please support me and Invest in ME Research.

Thank you.

À bientôt
from the French Femme
