After he finished writing Lessons Learned, Tom Collins continued writing based on the same themes and subjects he explored in that book. Once he reached a stopping point he realized that he had more poems to add to the story, so he decided to refer to the additional poems as the "deluxe poems." In the deluxe collection he continues the story right where it left off and offers up his longest and perhaps grandest poem to date "All The Things I Long For" along with more poems that take on the themes of heartbreak, loss, addiction, and mental health. This time however, there's hints of sarcasm, anger, and even hope that prior to this book were not seen as often. There are also several callbacks to all of Tom's previous books sprinkled throughout, (including the final poem which is a direct continuation of his final poem in World of Broken Dreams.) If Lessons Learned was Tom at his best, the deluxe poems just elevate that point and drive it home.

It's Nashville ... with a devastating flood, a beautiful lawyer, a deadly secret, and wine to kill for in this fourth Mark Rollins adventure mystery.An old man finished a glass of wine--his favorite claret--went to bed and died. Now more than fifty years later, a stunningly beautiful Nashville attorney, Ann Sims, prepares to auction off his estate--a derelict old mansion with its forgotten secret. Sims is living with a secret of her own, a secret that could cost her the fortune she is to inherit and end her career. Afraid, for good reason, of the possessive and greedy men in her life, she turns to Mark Rollins for protection.People are dead--possibly murdered. Rollins must deal with these events during a blinding three-day rainstorm that sends the Cumberland River over its banks and turns Nashville's streams and creeks into raging floodwaters.

A really good man died Sunday night in Nashville's notorious Printers Alley. According to the newspaper account, it was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. A drunken reveler with a gun had fired his weapon indiscriminately, ending the life of Tennessee's likely next governor and perhaps a future President of the United States. Mark Rollins wasn't ready to buy it. The dead man, Harold T. Lansden, Esq., was more than just a prominent lawyer and rising political figure. He was a friend, and he had called Rollins the night before his death to ask for Mark's help with a problem of some kind. Lansden was killed before the two could meet to discuss the details. Was Lansden's death as it seemed on the surface or was it premeditated murder and, if so, by whom and why? Rollins' search for answers yields a plethora of avenues that could have led someone to commit murder. As for who did it, there is no shortage of candidates.

Lessons Learned is the seventh book by Tom Collins. It is also the third and final chapter in his second trilogy of poetry books. This book concludes the most introspective and vulnerable books he has written to date. The concept behind the book came to Tom at the beginning of the year. He wanted to write about the struggles of mental health issues and what day to day life is like for someone dealing with those struggles. He also wanted to show how the seasons of the year play a role in that as well.He chronicled his life for the entire year and ended up with eighty poems that range in topics from love, heartbreak, the ups and downs of mental health issues, addiction, childhood, and death. From the calm, sort of woozy beginning of the book (that starts in spring of course), to the chilling, heart-aching feels of winter time; the entire book reads as sort of a surreal fever dream. This is Tom at his best and this is one book that you will not be able to put down.As an added bonus there is a second part of the book that Tom calls the deluxe poems titled All The Things I Long For...But Will Never Have. It will be released alongside this book and you definitely do not want to miss out on it!

The most direct route to my sylvan destination was along one of the main streets; but, for reasons of my own, I dodged round by the back slums. Frankly, it is not a bit nice for a man of position to walk down a respectable thoroughfare, nodding to his acquaintances with dignified composure, when a backward glance has disclosed his kangaroo dog dawdling along at his heels, lithe, svelte and spirituelle, with about ten pounds of stolen sausages hanging festooned from his mouth, and tripping him up from time to time. But Pup couldn't eat the sausages without stopping; so, when we reached the outskirts of the town, I took them from him, and, sitting down on a stump, cut the isthmuses with my knife, in order to help him to them one by one. Then, after a mutual caress, we resumed our way to the romantic nook that I wotted of.
