Tea with the Devil

an advert for my newly published book on Amazon thinly veiled as a rhyming ‘poem’

By Kayleigh Fraser ✨Published 2 years ago • 1 min read

my latest publishing delight,

is this book that took 4 years to write,

obviously not writing it every day!

I needed months of breaks between working days,

and man, oh man I’m glad to be done,

for a lot of that work was not so fun!

on the seventh or eighth editing read

I was sick of this tale being on repeat,

(especially as it was all done on my phone! no laptop in hell for me to work from!)

but there is one long section that had me crying with laughter

although at the time it was an absolute disaster…

one that I thought would totally break me

but given what I’ve lived through since? It’s now become comedy

and then there’s the many heated sex scenes…

which to relive felt like orgasmic dreams,

ironically those were the hardest parts to word!

describing things I can’t even TALK about - seemed absurd 🫣

but somehow, I found a way

to share with you those passion filled days,

fleeting moments of sex disguised as love,

with a man I held on a pedestal above,

but now it’s time for me to close the book,

I won’t ever return for another look,

it’s a chapter of my life now fully complete,

one that I hope will sell, in order to help me eat!!!

You can support me immensely by buying, sharing, reading, talking about and reviewing my book!

I honestly can’t imagine anyone not finding this a fascinating story to read. And given that it’s all true?! Just makes it even more wild.

Thank You 🙏🏻

Ps. The line about “closing the book” is not metaphorically referring to any person. I refer to the tangled mess of the past in general ☺️
