It's 2:34am on October 10, 2019 and I am still awake! Ugh! My mind is racing and my thoughts won't let me rest. I am currently writing 2 pdfs for the store and beginning to understand how completing a thing gives great satisfaction. I have been podcasting now sing 11/07 and along the way, I have picked up a few things. All this time I have only had time for 1 podcast, but recently I have the urge to develop another one, which is very interesting. 

I will soon have a patreon where you can help me reach my goals. I will be posting the link up soon on all my social media as well as right here, and I am also composing videos and tutorials for that platform. I know it's a lot for little me, but it's my goal and I know I can do it. 

Just a bit of encouragement to those who are still hustling to make it! You got this!

Rachel Anne Cox Delivers Dystopian Thriller 

A Light From The Ashes Via Both Virtual And Actual Tour 

Utah author Rachel Anne Cox offers a literary dystopian novel for adults which owes much of its realness to her skill as a researcher for historical book themes. 

A Light From The Ashes is set in the future wasteland of Virginia where Sam, the son of revolutionaries, wants nothing more than to leave the violence of his past behind him, but the impending Third Revolution and the two women he loves may not let him. With his loyalties torn between his affection for Sophie and maintaining the tentative peace which has prevailed in the land, Sam must navigate the fine lines between peace and rebellion, love and hate, while trying to find his humanity in an inhumane world and within himself. 

Cox plans to launch A Light From The Ashes with a mix of appearances in the spheres of broadcast and digital media, Skypeing with book clubs, and events at book stores, antique shops, coffee houses, and any of a list of unconventional venues that are looking forward to her novel. As a musician who is also writing songs for her book trailer and a companion EP Cox will also be reading and performing at music venues along her tour route. 

For more information visit the author at https://rachelannecoxwriter.com. A Light From The Ashes, published by Glass Spider Publishing, Inc. will be available online and at bookstores and other retailers beginning September 30. For booking and interviews contact Jennifer Perry, Lone Wolf Communications, LLC.

Amervis López is content with her life. She lives with her brother and grandmother in a twentieth-century community. She enjoys learning, partaking in authentic home cooked meals, playing at the park, going out with her grandmother, and being an inquisitive child who routinely explored her surroundings. When her grandmother dies, her life is turned upside down. Consequently, the perpetually abused and neglected at-risk youth is forced to navigate dangerous streets as she struggles to survive and cope with one loss after another. 

While she cared about her mother, the woman who gave birth to her felt like a stranger in her home. She spent most of her life moving from one row home to another. Armed with a masculine butch-like stature, Amervis’ mother was not a woman to be trifled with. When her Billy Boy persona took over, she brawled with the best of them, and many cowered at the mention of her name. 

Unfortunately, Amervis experienced the Billy Boy character firsthand when it spilled over into her own life. None of her mother’s personalities had any real interest in raising children, let alone the two she abandoned years earlier. Amervis commits the effort to gain acceptance into the city’s most esteemed public school. Yet, prior to her junior year, she inched closer toward the certainty that she would never make it to prom, let alone graduate. 

Her mother’s response to Amervis witnessing her use of crack crushes Amervis’ minuscule sense of self-worth and security, triggering behaviors completely out of line with who she was at her core and had envisioned herself becoming. Without support, fear consumed Amervis’ thoughts. It was relentless in its pursuit and dogged in its determination to devour any optimistic beliefs of moving beyond the arid terrain of the brutal Badlands. 

As she confronts one impediment after the next, she makes choices that cause her situation to become progressively worse. While Amervis fought for her sanity and freedom, she fixated on dropping out of Central. Thoughts of failure permeated through the constructs of her mind and she blamed her environment and her mother for the limitations she’d encounter. 

Throughout her journey, Amervis starts to acknowledge that continuing to entertain distractions was never going to get her any further than where she remained in life. She eventually creates a strategy and character armor that shields her from giving in to the day-to-day pressures of living on a street corner.
