I’m so proud of my daughter that I wanted to share it to the whole world (to the whole universe if possible)... that SHE JUST PUBLISHED HER OWN BOOK WITH Barnes&Noble. Yup, you heard me right a book... published... with Barnes&Noble. And she’s only 15 years old... Come to think of it, what was I doing when i was her age? Oh yeah, just crazy stuff... but I’m definitely sure...not in my wildest dream could I have a book with a world renouned publisher (LOL).
So, without further ado let me introduce the book: it’s entitled “spare me.” (As to the reason of my post’s title). It’s pages are composed of the musing and thoughts of poet’s struggles as a young immigrant with her new life here in the U.S.
About the Author (copied from Barnes&Noble website):
Rael Stephanie Rollon developed her interest in writing at the age of twelve. At first, she just loved scribbling her random thoughts in her notebooks. Until it evolved into poetry.
Rael Stephanie Rollon developed her interest in writing at the age of twelve. At first, she just loved scribbling her random thoughts in her notebooks. Until it evolved into poetry.
Rael was born in the Philippines, but her family migrated to the US when she was nine years old. Thus, her poetry was largely influenced by her struggles to adjust to her new environment, being displaced and uprooted, losing friends and meeting new people in an entirely new cultural background.
Her first foray into self-publishing has been a spontaneous decision inspired by her family and friends who believe in her talent.
She loves to read, sing and dabble in photography. Though on the introvert side, this gave her more room to write down her thoughts, no matter how chaotic they are, and actually had the courage to put it out there so that it may touch other teenagers who may be experiencing the same struggles of fitting into society and coping up with all the challenges
She lives with her family in Houston, Texas, and is currently attending Summer Creek High School.
