What's Inside:

RUIN MY LIPSTICK: A Poetry Collection: Poetry that takes the ordinary to the extraordinary, one verse at a time. Emotive. Romantic. Erotic. And everything in between. Poetry is what my soul bleeds when I'm not looking...

5 STAR REVIEWS for Ruin My Lipstick:
"Ruin My Lipstick is a work of art."
"Exquisite, raw emotion."
"...have never been so moved so completely by poetry."
"Makes you think and feel with every word."
"It truly touches the soul."
"A poet of great power."

ALMOST POETRY: From the author who brought you the highly received poetry collection, Ruin My Lipstick, comes something not quite like anything you’ve seen before. This artistically, intricately woven compilation brings you the poet’s musings, doodles, and sketches, and puts pages of her own personally inked journal into your own hands.

Intimate, vulnerable, and raw-- the r’s that look like scribbles or the i’s not fully dotted or the t’s not quite crossed-- these moments from the poet’s life will make you sigh, laugh out loud, shake your head in the affirmative, and look at love and nature and everything else you see and experience in the world around you through a new lens. It’s as much a visual feast for the eyes as it is for the thrum, flutter, and beat of the heart.

After all, writing is simply the stringing together of the best words in the best possible order. And sometimes, it’s almost poetry.

PRAISE FOR ALMOST POETRY:
"Poetry needn’t always be long to grab hold of your mind and heart… its vibrancy can be found inside the shortest of poetic lines and verse."
"I am convinced R.B. does in fact bleed poetry."
"R.B. O'Brien makes you feel with every word written."
"...powerful writing exploring all things."
"This is how poetry should be."

A RED, RED ROSE: A Collection of Dark Poetry and Prose: It is often in the dark that we can see...

And sometimes, you must look at what isn't said, as much as what is, to see it.

R.B. O'Brien's latest collection of dark poetry and prose isn't your Robert Burns song about "luve." No. It's not that kind of a red, red rose. It's the kind that makes you think of a darker shade of red, perhaps the color of blood coursing just below the surface of your skin or through your veins, struggling to pump that blood to your heart. A rose littered with thorns to prick and cut into your darker psyche. The kind of rose to escape the pretty gardens and butterflies and yellow suns filling a canvas with only light. No. This red, red rose is the stuff only twisted fairy tales are made of.

As nuanced and textured as you may be used to from O'Brien, you've never seen her quite like this before. From bright-lit graves to black crosses on white churches, from mortal skulls to immortal ghosts, from sweet revenge to soured greed, and from love worth dying for (literally) to death most lively, turn off the lights and read only by candlelight. Who knows what you may see...

You might just see yourself.

WHAT PEOPLE HAVE SAID about A Red, Red Rose:
"Deliciously sexy darkness!"
"...will touch your soul."
"Soulfully twisted...
"A RED, RED ROSE is a beautifully rich, powerful, and feminine statement....to overcome what pains us and to face our fears head on to find our light."
