Help Save Our Home!

I know that there are probably millions of other people out there that are probably going through the same thing, so you probably ask yourself, why should I care about you? Your right, I’m not that special, but let me say this, unless someone cares a whole lot, then no one will ever care, and nothing will ever change, there will still be homeless people and families like myself that will never know what their own American dream is like. So the least you can do is make a difference for this family. Unfortunately, since I’m really short on money, I do not have much to give you in return for your donations. All I can offer is my artwork that I do since I am an artist. I have my own website with a gallery of all the artwork I have done over the years, I can offer your prints and posters of various sizes of any piece of work you like from my gallery.  You can visit my website here at www.ravenfirestudio.net

700,000 books later, she finally has a ‘bestseller’ - The Style Blog - The Washington Post

700,000 books later, she finally has a ‘bestseller’ - The Style Blog - The Washington Post: Dropped by her print publisher after lackluster sales, Belleville, a Stanford economics grad and a former singer/songwriter, started self-publishing her e-books two years ago. When steamy titles like “Take Me” and “Game for Love” caught on, she started writing new books as fast as her fingers could fly (and that’s pretty fast — she writes several books a year). Online retailers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Nook caught the sales and she hit those retailer’s lists, but she remained under the radar of non-retailers.

Brooklyn teen Alvaro Blanco writes and publishes sci-fi novel five years after learning English  - NY Daily News: Alvaro Blanco will never forget the day last month he came home and found the first copy of his self-published book folded in with the rest of the mail.

Blanco, 17, tore open a tiny box with his name on it and pulled out his 144-page sci-fi epic that took more than a year to write and publish.

“When I first opened it I started to cry,” said Blanco.

The Colombian-born teen - who now lives in Bath Beach - came to the United States with his mother in November 2006 and didn’t speak a word of English.
