So, if you have been a follower of my website you know that my first book 'Looking For A Place' is going to be released either in the Fall of 2011 or Spring of 2012!!! If you didn't know, you can find out more information in this post.

My book will be released in E-Book format ONLY as of now. It is a collection of poems that I wrote from the ages of 15-18. Originally the book was only going to have 52 poems, but I will be adding nearly 20 poems that I wrote back then as well. So expect about 70 poems total. The book is definitely geared toward young teen girls, because I did write all of the poems as a teen. The book has poems covering many of the issues teen girls and teens in general deal with including first crushes, being hurt by friends for the first time, peer pressure, wanting more freedom from parents, bullying, thinking about what you want to be in life, and more.

A portion of all proceeds will be going to a cause(s) benefiting one of the world issues that I am most passionate about in my heart: bullying, domestic violence, female empowerment, poverty/hunger, education, self-esteem, cancer/other health issues, and environmental conservation.

My whole purpose in publishing this book is to just inspire young people from all walks of life to have self-love and faith despite the struggles they face. It's important to believe that you are beautiful and have worth, it's important to dream big, and it's important to be strong in every situation. I want to use and share all of my experiences to touch another person's life, so that they can have a better tommorow.

I'm so excited the upcoming release, and to be able to share that information with you. Until next time...

Blessings,


Nicole =)
