FEATURED BOOK
I Hate You by Amy C. Shannon
A Children's book about Love and Kindness.
This is a story about love and kindness. Joey loves his Mamma very much, but when she makes him stop playing in the mud, he decides to stomp through the house, getting mud all over. He is so angry with Mamma, that he dares to say the words "I Hate You." And just as he says it, he knows it's wrong. He doesn't even understand hate. Then, he learns the true meaning of that word, and the feelings in his heart.

Editor
Content and copy editor. I work within an author's budget but never sacrifice quality or take away the author's voice.
Kindness Advocate
Kindness is not weakness.
It’s the strength to listen when others turn away.
It’s the courage to speak gently in a loud world.
It’s the choice to see worth in every soul—especially our own.
I created this campaign because I’ve been dismissed.
But kindness refuses to be silent.
Join me. Wear it. Share it. Live it.
Be kind. Always.
Domestic Violence Survivor
In November 2005, Amy was attacked by her husband, where he almost killed her. She was punched in the face, kicked in the head, back, and anywhere possible on her body, and almost strangled to death.
So, this is what's "wrong" with Amy.
Since the attack almost 20 years ago, she's had the same migraine, but the levels of severity may be different from day to day, and she does get "normal" headaches, which feels like it's laying on the other migraine. She was diagnosed a few years ago with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), which is different from person to person. The brain sends incorrect signals to parts of the body, mostly pain, tremors, and spasms. She has neuropathy in her feet, and also has chronic pain in her joints and muscles. FND can make the body mimic other diseases. She can also have awake seizures, and she falls a lot.
This does NOT stop her from having multiple purposes in life. She cherishes every moment of life, and believes that everyone should be remembered, and anyone who needs assistance should get it. Especially when she helps other authors... one of her biggest purposes.
