Readings

Sharon Maloney
Poet
Sharon's Verses is a book of lyric poetry. It is special in that it makes you believe in a beautuiful world of color, nature, love, God, and relationships. The more you read it, your love for the book will increase to a level of understanding, admiration, and the desire to make poetry an existing part of your life. The role of Sharon's Verses is to open up shallow thinking to real intellectual growth.

Philosophies About God has fifty delightful poems, in which God is written about in relation to his devine attributes toward mankind. I discuss the role of God, as having a belief in a higher power that will generate true peace within one's self, happiness, and serenity. I write about heaven, spirituality, communication, knowledge, and the path to a brigher tomorrow, when God is incorporated into the whole picture. This book should not go unread and it's recommended for all age groups. Women especially, who want inner knowledge and personal development should read my books, though my subjects are universally aimed to reach everyone.

Both books can be ordered from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Publish America.

And... A bonus
Musical Poetry
This eclectic collection of poetry and prose on CD was inspired by one man’s journey through life with it’s ups and downs. A chance meeting with a long time friend was the catalyst that set this project in motion. Through the creative efforts of Phil Ball the poet and Michael Fonfara the musician this project took on a life of it’s own.

Musical Poetry

The Poet, Phil Ball:
Originally from Coventry, England Phil ended up in Canada at the age of 20 as the result of a coin toss. Who was to know that in the wee hours of the night Phil had been writing poetry and prose for years. It was a surprise to everyone that knew Phil when he up and announced that he had all these poems and was going to make a CD. This collection is a small sampling of the vast collection of goodies he has stored away. The Musician, Michael Fonfara:
Michael is a much sought after keyboards player and world-class arranger of many of today’s artists with over 35 years of experience in live music, radio and television productions. Perhaps Michael’s greatest ability is his incredible talent as a musical arranger and producer. His most recent work as producer on the gospel CD “Saved” has just been nominated for a Juno as “Best Gospel Album of The Year.”

*A NOTE:
If you have a slow connection there are some things we can suggest to make listening easier:

  • Your computer may require long periods while the file downloads but you can go to other pages or sites while the download is processing. (Sites with very large files will slow the download.) If you choose this approach, be sure to plan your listening ahead so you can allow for a longer wait while the file downloads. It may appear that nothing is happening during this time so be patient.
