The air is crisp, the leaves are an array of warm hues that make you feel like you’re in a painting, the smell of spices waft in the air. It’s fall, the season of change, transformation. For this lovely October month of fun, I had the honor of bringing to my blog for this month’s Aspiring…

Aspiring Author Spotlight SPECIAL- Miles Straughan, my brother! (AAS #19)
Hello everyone! I know I have not got to do an Aspiring Author Spotlight in a few months, but man! Do I have a treat for you today! This summer, my mom, my younger brother Miles, and I were leaving one of our local antique malls (that have the BEST pretzels and cheese EVER), and…
Aspiring Author Spotlight- Mr. David Long (AAS #18)
David is a fellow gamer, an otaku, and a guy that I wish I could bottle his calm. Every time I see him, he has an easy going, relaxing climate that makes me smile. He is quiet, like myself, but he will gladly engage in conversations, especially about our weaknesses of purchasing more items for our…
Aspiring Author Spotlight- Mr. Mark Piggott (AAS #17)
Last month, I was seeking new aspiring authors, storytellers who were ready to share their adventures with other, even before they were released on shelves.

Aspiring Author Spotlight- Mr. Ron Farrow (AAS #16)
“Music can change the world because it can change people” was said by Irish singer/song-writer Bono and I could not find a better way to describe Mr. Farrow.

December Aspiring Author Spotlight- Chuck Carron (AAS 2014 #12)
Chuck and I go to the same church and I consider him a member of my family. He truly is one of the most creative, dedicated, loving gentlemen I have ever met. He sees light in every person and talents. I have been so honored to sing with him, his passion and advice improving my…
November Aspiring Author Spotlight- Morgan Wilson (AAS 2014 #11)
This August marked the start of my third, full contracted year at my local middle school and every year, we have new staff members. On the second day of teacher meetings, I heard a shuffling and some heavy breathing as I sat alone in the front with my school Chromebook, half the room full of…
October Aspiring Author Spotlight- Jodie Llewellyn (AAS 2014 #10)
Back in May, after getting pumped to learn more about others who had dreams of writing like myself, I randomly was being pulled by the strings of fate and typed into Google search the words: “aspiring author.” Now, I’m a teacher, so I knew full well that I was going to get a hodgepodge of…
September Aspiring Author Spotlight- Samantha Washburn (AAS 2014 #9)
Have you have met a person that had so much raw, grand energy that they literally had a spring in their step, a glint in their eyes, a smile tugging their lips at all times? Sam is that girl! She is so spunky, not one bit scared to be who she is and do it…
