Castillo, Elizabeth E. – Philippines

Contact:

Elizabeth E. Castillo is a professional feature writer/journalist/blogger/international poet/online English Instructor from the Philippines in Asia. She exhibited her writing and poetic inclinations early on during her elementary days when she was once this shy, unassuming lass. She didn't give up on her dreams of becoming a writer since she believes in her heart that her mission here on Earth is to contribute and touch lives through pen pushing. Her articles and poems have appeared in international online magazines. She was featured in less than 20 international poetry anthologies both in the USA and UK and currently working on upcoming anthologies. She is also currently a Contributing Editor for Inner Child the Magazine, USA and a Columnist for Winning Strategies Magazine, Mexico City. Upcoming release of her first international poetry book is on January 2013.

I am integrating charity projects with my work lately and helping abused and poor children is one of my advocacies. I just felt that I could feel true pleasure in helping others by sharing their talents and with each contributing even in their own little way. Even though I am from Asia and the USA is far from me, I believe there need not be barriers as long as one really wants to make a difference.

Mom of three children - adults now. My heart goes out to the survivors and families who experienced this senseless brutal action of violence.  I as others wanted to show world wide support, by uniting with others and creating a gift that will aid on the road of recovery.

Contact: https://www.facebook.com/moses.opara.7?hc_location=stream

Was born in 1993 in Ngor-okpala in Nigeria. His father passed on during his early years in the secondary school, leaving behind a widow wife and eight children. Moses had his secondary education at the federal government college Rubochi, located in Abuja municipal area council. He is aspiring to be in the university and finish as a graduate in English and Literary studies.

 Most of his works are c entered on the plight of the masses, in the society. In life nothing remains the same. We are supposed to help, and make a mark, and put smiles on the wrinkled faces of the victims’ parents. I was saddened on how man's heart is just polluted with wickedness. They are gone not forever, but their memories still remain in our shattered heart. GOD HELP US.

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.

Wavie Green
Wavie has been a wife and mother of three; among other things, she speaks at churches about her near fatal car accident and her redemption. Meanwhile, in her only book, the miracle birth of her third child is just one facet of the inspirational tale in Through the Storms HE Performs. In that book, Wavie describes the car accident that required the Jaws of Life to free her as well as her recovery. The unique parts include her pregnancy at the time, her 14 day coma, and her ability to walk even after most doctors gave her a small chance of ever leaving a wheelchair. While comatose and even today, this author is moved by God to witness to all his teachings and goals in her life and this world. You can find out why she has a vivid connection with Her Maker in her book.

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.

Hail, What Next?

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 Boston back to hope.
