help build a library in SA ~ A Revolution



This year sees my library project in it's 3rd year --- and it's growing on an international level.
Every year I go out in search of YA or children's book donations and head to the nearest school in my area who is in desperate need of either starting up a library or expanding their very outdated - apartheid- era books. This is why our kids dont read. 
SHOCKING STATS. 
SAfrica has a population of 40mil and little over 10% of the population are regular readers.
There are many reasons for this , main reason is that books and libraries is not a government priority and it hasn't been for a very long time. 
our kids don't have access to books at all! 
Enters me with your help I bring a minimum of 30 books to a school and talk to the kids about reading and writing and how it changed my life and brought me opportunities beyond compare. If I can show the kids there is not only something compelling about escaping in a good story, but get them hooked on reading and writing... many worlds open to them.,
In April we, with the help of Skoobs theatre of books and local authors and media, raised 1000 books for underprivileged kids of Johannesburg city. The beneficiary of this donation was the pavement bookworm foundation. Philani and I headed to central Johannesburg and rained books down on the kids. ...read more 


After this event I was contacted by a lady that works in my are responsible for keeping school libraries running. Needless to say I said hell yes... We have 19 schools in my area alone that is in desperate need of reading, writing and some inspiration with huge serving of book love. 


MY NEXT TWO DROP OFFS


My biggest donations come from me fellow Utopians, a collection of awesome book loving people who attend Utopiacon in Nashville every year. And every year I collect so many books I have to keep most in the USA until I raise enough funds to ship them South Africa. 
This collection has taken me a year to get here. And this is the problem with why we are short of books in our schools.... It's costly and time consuming. 
BUT THIS WONT STOP ME and it seems it hasnt stopped my fellow utopians either. 


With the help of the authors, Little Bird Publshing and Utopiacon founded by Janet Wallace we bring you an anthology ...  With 8 amazingly diverse and fabulous reads from UTOPiAns and a foreward from Janet Wallace, Founder of UTOPiA con, this anthology is not only a brilliant read but is also raising funds for a cause very close to the heart of the UTOPiAn community. 

With all profits after costs going to the 'Help Build A Library in South Africa
 Foundation' founded by fellow UTOPiAn Carlyle Labuschange, this anthology is both an inspiring call to make a revolution in your own life, and a practical application of that philosophy in the wider world. 

Over the course of 8 days, we shall be celebrating, sharing, and giving
away goodies form the authors of the anthology, the UTOPiA Con, and raising awareness of this incredible chairty.

We have already raised over $240.00 from pre-release sales at the UTOPiA Con 2016, and we want to extend an incredibly heartfelt thank you to all those who have supported, shared and promoted the anthology so far.

The Anthology is available in paperback and eBook on Amazon worldwide, and will be available on other major platforms later in the year. 

At the event we reaised enough  money start up one/ possibly two libraries, with added goodies for the kids (swag bags filled with swag) 


AND HELP BRING THE 2 BOXES OF COLLECTED BOOKS TO SOUTH AFRICA

insta-hate by Casey L Bond

Title: Insta-Hate
Author: C.L. Bond
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Designer: Regina Wamba at Mae I Design and Photography
Models: Nathan Weller and Layla Hill
Photographer: Dark Feather Photog
Interior Design: Allyson Gottlieb, Athena Book Designs
Editor: Stacy Sanford, The Girl with the Red Pen
Expected Release Date: May 17th, 2016
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb: When Alexandria Ray’s romance series becomes an overnight sensation, the world and its demands close in on her. After years of struggling to maintain the pace her publisher, agent and the world expects, she needs a break. Enrolling as a student at Columbia University is step one to finding herself again. Finding Arsen Daniel was not on her list.
Arsen Daniel, along with his best friend, built an empire in the form of an exclusive, psychology-based dating service. When an old friend invites him to teach a course at Columbia, he accepts. The course? The Psychology of Love.  Sounds simple enough and the publicity alone will make it worth his time.
Arsen didn’t expect to meet his match in the form of a sarcastic blonde, hell bent on holding to her belief that true love doesn’t actually exist. After all, what woman, especially a world-renowned romance writer, doesn’t believe in happily ever after?
Something in Alexandria’s eyes tortures him. She reminds him of someone from his past and that is a very bad thing.
Award-winning author Casey L. Bond resides in Milton, West Virginia with her husband and their two beautiful daughters. When she’s not busy being a domestic goddess and chasing her baby girls, she loves to write young adult and new adult fiction. You can find more information about Bond’s books via the following links: 
“Do you want to grab a seat for a few minutes?” he asked.
I looked around and the place was mostly deserted. “Sure.” We settled in two comfortable padded chairs. “For the record, I don’t want to do any of the things Jillian has planned.”
He smiled. “How else do you plan to prove your point?”
“My point will be easily proven. Love doesn’t exist.” I stared at his lips. The bottom was slightly plumper than the top. His blue dress shirt was rolled to the elbows. And his forearms were toned. Damn it. Why should men have forearms like that? Why? They flexed when he raised his cup to his lips, and then flexed again when he sat it back onto the table.
“Why would any woman want that to be true?” he challenged, one brow arching up.
“I don’t want it to be true, it just is.”
His eyes narrowed and he crossed his arms over his chest. “How do you know? Forget the assignment, forget proving a hypothesis and this damn paper. How do you know? Why do you think that?”
I swallowed. “Because if I’ve ever felt it, I don’t remember it.” His brows furrowed and he parted his lips to say something, but never did. What could anyone say to that?

Synopsis
Blake Caster has been in an emotionally abusive relationship with Justin for so long, she can’t tell what is normal anymore, and so she clings to the one thing that is solidly hers—her passion for extreme weather. Three years into her Meteorology degree, Blake meets professional storm chaser, Dash Lexington, who is as gorgeous as he is daring. Instantly recognizing her passion and skills in analyzing weather data, he makes a spot for her on his tight-knit storm chasing team. Dash and Blake form a fast friendship and it forces her to realize just how toxic her relationship with Justin is. She can’t deny the lightning-worthy chemistry she has with Dash or how her heart stalls every time he gets too close to a tornado. With each chase and the cherished moments with Dash, Blake discovers her own self-worth and gains the strength to end things with Justin for good. But he won’t go easily. As Blake tries to sever ties with one man, she fears she’ll lose the other to his dangerous obsession—and she doesn't know if she’ll be enough to save him from the impending storm that could end them all.

Her fall has just begun. Only his touch can save her from the shift that could destroy it all. Within my blood runs a thing our kind calls the Shadowing Disease. It shadows over, and bends everything to its will. When the first blood- shift came, it tore through flesh and blood, threatening to bend me, break bone, shatter my mind and entrap my heart with its honeyed, seductive poison. It came with vicious intent, moving my thoughts and altering me forever. The shift has caused a rift within me. No one was safe when it entrapped me in its claws of foul lust. But I have the only antidote against the evil that becomes me - his touch alone has the power to release the spurs of sweet darkness that clung on for dear life. I knew what I had to do; the desperation pulled my mind with the deep determination of a hungry predator. By the time the revelation raised me from the dark dungeon of my bounds - it might have been too late.

THE BROKEN DESTINY BOOK ONE

"You cannot know what light is if you have not experienced darkness" 
Ava and her people have been exiled to the planet Poseidon for reasons she can't fathom. Upon meeting a boy from a different sector, her life turns into a beautiful chaos. She begins to feel things she isn't allowed to, thus motivating her to find out the truth about why her kind are so different, and why the Council are so interested in her. Once her mind is freed, with it comes a terrible power that could either save her kind, or destroy them all. But Ava is not the perfect heroine. She will become what she hates to save the ones she loves, and the cost of such a burden is deadly at best.

#INFALLIBLE by Bailey Quinn cover reveal #crimeFiction


PRESENTS 
Something entirely new from award winning YA sci-fi writer Carlyle Labuschange

"Most challenging book I've ever written. It nearly defeated me." ~ Carlyle




BLURB 

THE MOMENT DETECTIVE SCARLET ANNE MARTINS stepped into that prison, her resolve began to wane, a struggle she had long forgotten between heart and head. Unable to deny it any longer, the feelings she had for Alaric were strong—and her desperation to save him, would ultimately be what would killed them both.
For a super cop, her judgment in men truly failed her. But while her life, and anyone’s who tried to stop her was in mortal danger, she had to forget every single detail about Special Agent Blade. Her primary focus was getting through the next twenty-four hours without killing anyone.
Thereafter, her purpose would be to find a way to put behind bars those who were framing her for murder, and the bombing in New York City. It would prove to be an almost impossible task, since she had become a fugitive in a foreign country.
This time, her drop-dead gorgeous looks and South African accent would work against her in every way—she would be recognized in a heartbeat on the streets. With nowhere to run, she made the decision to face the peril head on and ensnare the evil that was coming for her, and the only way to do that was by giving them what they wanted.

Because I love you Cover reveal

This book is rich with heart, which is exactly the kind of book Blaze Publishing loves to get into the hands of readers. Add it to your Goodreads now, sign up for the awesome promotions ahead (like getting your hands on an ARC), and join us at the Facebook Cover Reveal Party! You can also preorder a signed copy from our website. Mark your calendars 5/17/16!


Sometimes, love is sacrifice.

Eight weeks after sixteen-year-old Andie Hamilton gives her virginity to her best friend, “the stick” says she’s pregnant.

Her friends treat her like she’s carrying the plague, her classmates torture and ridicule her, and the boy she thought loved her doesn’t even care. Afraid to experience the next seven months alone, she turns to her ex-boyfriend, Neil Donaghue, a dark-haired, blue-eyed player. With him, she finds comfort and the support she desperately needs to make the hardest decision of her life: whether or not to keep the baby.

Then a tragic accident leads Andie to discover Neil’s keeping a secret that could dramatically alter their lives, and she's forced to make a choice. But after hearing her son’s heartbeat for the first time, she doesn’t know how she’ll ever be able to let go.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:


Adopted at three-days-old by a construction worker and a stay at home mom, Tori Rigby grew up with her nose in a book and her fingers on piano keys, always awaiting the day she’d take her own adventure. Now, she goes on multiple journeys through her contemporary and historical romances. She longs to live in the Scottish Highlands, and her favorite place in history is Medieval England—she’d even give up her Internet and running water to go back in time! Tori also writes high-concept genre fiction as Vicki Leigh, and when she isn’t writing, she’s kicking butt in krav maga or attending classes to learn how to catch bad guys.
