bio: Kolade Olanrewaju Freedom Is a young Nigerian whose story will never be complete without mentioning the odds that made him. He adopted the nick "Freedom" to emphasize his literary works oblivious to restriction and destructive criticism. His academic life is still quite young but he possesses the mind of an academic scholar. He is blessed with the pen and desires to bless his world with it. He writes to educate, illuminate, transform, inform, comfort and entertain. His writings are grouped into three categories: inspiration, reflection and expression. He is rigid to injustice but flexible to humanity. He holds no special care for physical appearance; his mind he desires to renew and care for daily.
Kolade's passion to write is derived from his desire to quench his thirst for a blissful world...No wonder his soon to be published book;The Light Bearer was written with a mobile phone but formatted with the help of his earthly angel,Catherine Mahoney.
Kolade Olanrewaju Freedom "The beauty of expression lies not in the lips/sound but in its content/message"This is a favourite saying of his that has always. made his literary work reflect a raw message of transformation. Faith lives when logical reasoning dies,he often tells himself when the future gives no room for hope.A new and unique voice he has added to the literary world....his impact would echo till the end of time.

My favorite question during book interviews is: How did you get started? The short answer is that my mother died. Some people dream of being authors; my writing began as what could be described as a nightmare! HOWEVER- as mom faded, her experiences ran the gamut from going through all the grieving steps a terminal soul follows to having what would be called a Christian Near Death Experience (NDE). When most of her messages from God materialized, people in my region buzzed with the story; my witness became my first book entitled Mom’s on the Roof and I can’t Get Her Down.
After that, I completed several Christian based, inspirational nonfictions about people surmounting illnesses and other personal issues including my book entitled My Armor, which discusses my trials and tribulations as I struggled to keep my left arm avoiding amputation with God’s intervention. I write non-fiction accounts, children’s picture books, and social issues based novels.
By the way, I am, also, married with 3 children. Julie and Jenny Hanson (Via Cynthia Meyers-Hanson) Contact: http://mchanson714.weebly.com/ under the True Stories tab Julie and Jenny Hanson We are sisters and the daughter of Cynthia. When we were in elementary school, after hearing a neighbor lost their dad to a blood clot and the family needed a gallon of milk, after seven or more parents died within 2 years in our 100 home subdivision, the children haunted by the rumor that their neighborhood was cursed did what it takes to feel empowered and back in control. We set up the proverbial lemonade stand.
That action helped start the journey from grief to miracles and life sustaining hope as an informal club emerged with Jenny as the founder and leader and Julie as the treasurer. The resulting book is
The Evans Terrace Girls.
After Newton’s massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary, the club’s full story as a full book excerpt was donated to the S.H.E Anthology to help mental health agencies specializing in children’s issues help move that town back to hope.

under the True Stories tab
Stacey Meyers Stacey is currently a young woman with a husband and 2 children. Until age 10, she was raised by her grandparents; they literally adopted her. Her aunt, Cindy, inherited her after her mom died of breast cancer; and her dad committed suicide.
Stacey’s struggle to overcome anger and readjust to life is in her book Stacey’s Song. Her full story as a book excerpt was donated to the S.H.E Anthology to help mental health agencies specializing in children’s issues like she encountered due to her PTSD. She hopes the efforts of many help move that town as well as Texas back to hope.
