Books For Kids

There are people that would be so rash as to ask, “Is it Christian to want kids’ to have books’?”

YES. Big duh.

Having said that, earlier today a link on Facebook was posted asking for just that.

Every time the “like” button is clicked on this video (on youtube, not facebook) $1 is donated to Books For Kids, a charity that is buying books for children in hospitals. I’ve sponsored the next 100 likes, and lined up after me is Jennifer L. Armentrout! All YOU have to do is like the video and spread the word to help out this great cause! Will you please take a second to head over to youtube?~Leah Clifford, Author of A Touch Mortal coming out with GreenWillow/HarperCollins on Feb 22, 2011!

Really. Just like the vid. It’s for the Kids’

Reading~TooshToosh

Remember the books that made you smile?

Laugh?

Cry?

Strive for something?

See thing’s in a totally different way?

The books that stayed with you no matter what you went through?

The one’s that spoke loudly to your soul, and the one’s that whispered to your heart?

Books glorious books-lelpel

Narnia. Dr. Suess’s entire collection. I’d be here years listing them.

Books. Yes, writer’s tend to like books. 🙂

These kid’s are in hospital’s. They have enough to be anxious about.

Help.

Be blessed! Embrace that which define’s YOU.

It was a great night.

The Wife and I were tremendously blessed and further reminded of our destiny tonight as we enjoyed the company of MercyMe, Jars Of Clay, Matt Maher, Lecrae, The Afters and The Anthem Lights. They all were great and over 10,000 people tonight would agree. Wow. WoW. God is good.

I will be adding all the guys info here.


Dan Haseltine, Singer/SongWriter of Jars Of clay.

It was to say the least a JOY.


Listen UP!

 

When all is said and done…keep writing!


Upcoming Guest Authors!

I am very excited and happy to write that I will be having guest’s over!

Megg Jensen

Indie Author of  the Ya Fantasy  Anathema

Reychel is a slave girl surrounded by magic, lies and manipulation. Her best friend disappears in the middle of the night leaving Reychel to face her fifteenth birthday, the day her master burns his brand into the back of her bald head, alone. She’s sheltered from the outside world and doesn’t have any hope for escape, but when people desperate for freedom ask for her help can Reychel learn to believe in herself?

She will be over to answer some hard-hitting* question’s about why she is an Indie and more!

Also she will be giving away a copy of her book!** Coming Spring 2011

***********************************************************************

J.j. Hebert

The bestselling author of Unconventional and president at MindStir Media, which helps authors publish and distribute their books worldwide, will be a very special guest for me. I am humbled and joyful that he will be guesting.

Unconventional.

~YOUNG JAMES FROST just knows, deep in his bones, that he’s a writer. He writes far into early mornings, after his wearying hours of scrubbing toilets and sweeping floors. He loves writing that much.

But it’s not only the joy of words that keeps him grinding; it’s his desire to retire the janitor’s mop. He sees being published as the key to living an improved life. James has another deep-seated conviction: that he’s not good enough. He secretly longs to be accepted. However, the conventional others in his life seem all too willing to remind him that he’s wasting his time.~ Read the full synopsis here: http://www.jjhebert.net/works.htm

“J. J. Hebert’s debut novel, Unconventional (paperback), became an Amazon.com best-seller in three categories on July 19, 2009. The Kindle version has been the #1 Inspirational Book in the Kindle Store numerous times. J.J. is also the founder of MindStir Media, which helps authors successfully self-publish and distribute books worldwide. Currently, he lives alone in New England, home to some of the greatest sports teams in the world (for now), where he’s at work on his latest novel, Saving Dad, and a children’s book, Weepy the Dragon.”

More to come! Stay tuned to Aspire No More for the latest on these and more happening’s! Be blessed!

*not really hard-hitting, :}

**a tentative date will be provided!

I’ve got an ear for it, :).

Go, Casey, my man, go.

YAMIN got ROBBED!

Every tale must be told.

 

 

In this epic fantasy…

 

Legends will be reborn.

We, Us, You, Me, Him , Her

Yes.
We are the answer to everything, negative, dark and oppressive in this world.
My friends, keep writing, keep musing,
keep thinking of ways to enlighten…
…to make a change,
to enrich.
Let us look into our very souls
for your the answers.
Keep on comin’ with what you got,
’cause in the end

We will seize the world!


My Work…so far

The Sad Little Robot

Robots. Gotta love ’em. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, just like us, and they never seem to “go out of style.”
From the ever popular Transformers to Plex from Yo! Gabba Gabba, children, as well as adults, love robots.
I for one have always been fascinated by them.
The Sad Little Robut complete at 1,083 words, centers around, you guessed it, a little robot named, ‘Robut’ and his journey to find happiness and love. In this “introduction” story, he finds excitement and what makes life exciting, but never loses focus on his true goal-Friendship. He is small, awkward and clumsy at times but make no mistake-he is determined.
I want others to meet him and share in his journeys, where in the end it is all about being kind to one another and sharing in life’s joys.

The Stories:Book One

An epic fantasy in the making. My opus. My dream.

We are in the midst of a revolt.
A war.
What are we fighting for?
Our existence.
Our lives.
Whatever is left of them, that is.
There is no vast army, no strongholds, NO one coming to help us.
There are no, ‘teams’.
It’s just Us…
and THEM.
Logos, I hate them…
Anyway, we may seem familiar to you.
But you’ll notice things aren’t quite as you remember.
You grew up.
So did we.
You forgot about us.
Things have changed.
We have changed.
Who are “we”?

We are…The Stories. In this epic fantasy, old becomes new and legends…

…will be r e b o r n.

I have a site, a Facebook “Like” page and a book trailer devoted to this, my baby.
I’m generating a buzz! and may I add…it’s working! 🙂
THANK YOU to all of my awesome supporters! It’s almost complete. I’m going the traditional route.

That’s what faith can do 🙂

Live In Love-Times Of Grace

I simply can not get enough of this song and it’s message. Not to mention I have been a supporter of Jesse Leach since his days in KillSwitch Engage. I am all for original post’s…but props are due.

In my life I have seen all the ways they tried (to destroy mankind)
Break societies system, change the mercy, there’s no compromise
Don’t mistake kindness and compassion for weakness
It takes so much more strength to be selfless and live in love

I trust you live in selflessness and live in love

Through all the days, just live in love
Through all the pain, believe in love

(I change to think you not, it tries to function if this world..)
Take the time to think about your life, live righteous

I trust you live in selflessness and live in love

Through all the days, just live in love
Through all the pain, believe in love
The words we speak, the ones we don’t say
Power you don’t know you could say
Through all the days, believe in love

Don’t you see, we are off
Don’t you see, we are off
Brothers and sisters, we are one
Brothers and sisters, we are one
WE ARE ONE

And I pray this is not in vain, all that you know about, all you can hide
All that you feel inside (Live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide
All that you feel inside (Live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide (Through all the days)
All that you feel inside (Live in love)
All that you know about, all you can hide (Through all the pain)
All that you feel inside (Live in love)


Ain’t it the truth?

As hard as it is to write at times-come on we all feel this way sometimes-it is even harder not to write.

A ha!
