Cover designed by D.R. Cartwright (DRC) from a concept by Ella
Wilson - two awesomely creative ladies!
Blurb:
A
collection of seventy moving and uplifting original pieces - real life,
flash fiction, and poetry - about battling against the odds and the
ultimate triumph of the human spirit. The contributors include Amazon
bestselling authors Alex J. Cavanaugh and Kyra Lennon, and the cream of
upcoming talent.
The anthology is part of a fundraising effort to send the editor's stepson, Andrew McNaughton, to a specialist college in England. Andrew has cerebral palsy, and is a remarkable young man with a promising future. However, the free further education options offered in his own country of Scotland will not challenge him and allow him to progress. In order to access the education he deserves, Andrew will have to pay exorbitant fees, thus creating a situation of discrimination.
Help us get Andrew to college by buying a book that runs the full gamut of human emotions, ultimately leaving you inspired and glad to be alive. Whatever struggles you are going through, our sincere hope is that this book will help.

That's right peeps, this anthology was put together by a bunch of talented and generous writers and bloggers to support Nick Wilford's stepson, Andrew to get the fabulous education he deserves! Well done to everyone who was involved in the making of this anthology - most especially to Nick for all his hard work at keeping all us bloggers in line! ;) Also extra thanks to Nick for including my name in the blurb beside Sir Alex J. Cavanaugh - I am totally not worthy!
This book really is for a great cause. Andrew is unlikely to be the only person in Scotland who is unable to get the support they need to to further their education - and supporting his cause will only serve to highlight the problems, and hopefully make some big steps to changing them. So grab a copy, and do your good deed for the day to raise some money for a worthwhile cause!
Glad you took part in helping get this Anthology noticed Kyra. Best of luck to Andrew.

ReplyDeleteBummed that I missed out on the bloghop you co-hosted. :( Sorry about that! Didn't see it until it was over. That's the trouble with not being online enough. Was fun to read the entries though!

I know what you mean. Although I don't draw the settings (I know I should, but then I have a million other stuff I should do for my fantasy as well. Sigh.), I've researched prevalent architecture for the buildings I used and collected photos so that I know where I am and what I'm talking about.
ReplyDeleteGreat interview! Read Me Dead sounds like it has a really good story in there!
