Bouquets and Promises – Beneath a Banner of Lavender

 A Genuinely Unique Opportunity.

I alone have personally designed, pressed and published this book. I created only 100 hand-signed copies of this PREMIER LIMITED EDITION CHAPBOOK. It is distributed exclusively through Opal Egg Productions, LLC.

Chapbook Intro (as seen on the inside cover):

This premium chapbook is the third in a series of many more to come, personally hand-crafted by the author, R.D. Stone. With a capital P for delicious Performances and a capital S for Satisfaction; you’ll nod in approval while reckoning these distillations are quite exceptional.  What would you say? Provocative, remarkable, inspiring!

This book is beyond its events, authentically bringing greater impact to others, words to speak as boldly as you need them. Make no mistake, our greatest gifts lie next to our deepest loves. Born out of the author’s restless desire to share with the world a diverse voice of charming romance; through these lyrics, he tells it straight.

Quote on inside back cover:

“How are we to understand the laughter in smiling hands underneath that bough beyond the dawn, writing poems, growing words in reverent silence and saying your heart is mine. Such things touch a kiss as fingers clutch the pen where time would never tear it away from us” 

~ R.D. Stone
