Charlize, aka Charlie, is moving yet again, to a new city, a new school…new everything. Her family is always moving, but this time, it doesn’t seem so bad! Charlie is turning sixteen, finally making friends, and crushing on some seriously hot guys. Plus, said hot guys’ feelings seem to be mutual… This is the happiest Charlie has been in a very long time. But she does have a little problem.
Charlie is having bizarre, dark, eerie dreams, and she knows deep down that the feelings these dreams provoke, which seem to consume her, cannot be normal. There is a sexy male voice invading her dreams, and now it seems it is invading her waking hours too. The voice is compelling, hauntingly mesmerizing, and overwhelmingly beautiful. Charlie doesn’t care if this dream voice is good or bad; she just knows she wants to hear more.

- Knickerbocker Glory by Anita Williams
About Knickerbocker Glory by Anita Williams:Knickerbocker Glory: a fusion of poetry designed to stir the senses; full of life’s emotions and experiences. A unique collection of rhyme and verse, this book has been lovingly crafted. Designed to give you a lift, the book is full of “feel good” moments. Equally, you’ll stop and think when engaged with some of the thought provoking messages.
Life brings with it a variety of journeys and choices. This light hearted tapestry of happenings reminds you to grab opportunities as life delivers them, making the most of its daily offerings.
Laugh out loud at ‘Braces for Brian.’ Or feel for Alice as she teeters with ‘Stage Fright.’ Surround yourself in history as you try to solve the mystery of the unclaimed key in ‘Key’s Tapestry’ or imagine yourself standing at the lakeside, contemplating life, in ‘Ripples.’
Such a diverse selection of poems and rhymes, a feast, a concoction….and so hence the title. Many ingredients fall to place when creating a Knickerbocker glory. Anita Williams felt this title was fitting for such an eclectic mix of words.
This book is a great travel companion and good repeat read. Pick it up, put it down. Some pages are bordering short story format, where others are short and sweet little ditties. Fantastic beach read.
Kick back, enjoy and share this little gem.Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

Anita Williams has been carefully crafting her writing for more than thirty years. A lover of verse and rhyme, she has collated a series of snippets which have been reworked and finely tuned to the point where she is now ready to share these treasures. Her first offering, Knickerbocker Glory, is a good example of these snippets of life. Working on the sequel,’Candy Stripes and Tall Giraffes,’ Anita is determined to keep alive the theme of putting readers in touch with easy going poetry. Real life stuff, unencumbered by too much intensity.
Anita take her inspiration from life itself, and world travel. Each new story or poem is born when she encounters a chance happening, be it whilst sipping coffee at a pavement cafe, her own fond memories, or generally things she sees and hears. This author loves people. Eg. Her poem ‘mistaken identity’ tells the tale of a real life observation she made whilst having a coffee. A well travelled man had paused to sit and rest in a busy street. A man in a suit walked briskly past and tossed him a few coins, mistaking him for a beggar. The travelling man stood up quickly and handed the coins back. This poem is about respect and looking deeper into life, rather than skimming its surface, and potentially missing so much.
Anita’s favourite moments are those spent with family and friends around the dining table, eating, laughing, reminiscing, fixing troubles and genuinely embracing the most fabulous gift of all…each other. Anita is genuine in this sincerity, and wants nothing more than to have readers engage with her work, enjoy it and share it.
She is currently embarking on her first novel, and a series of children’s books, so watch out for Annie and Tom books, or Square sprout, who is proud to be different.
Above all, any book by this author will make you smile.Knickerbocker Glory by Anita Williams is a post from Awesome Gang
