Who Am I?
I am Annette Bentley Smith, but you can call me, Mrs. Annie! I am a self-published children's book author. I write to entertain and offer a temporary escape into a think outside of the box adventure!

Why Am I Raising Funds?I have released my sixth book called "Nyrah's Bully."

I am raising funds to purchase promo products from places such as www.positivepromotions.com and Oriental Trrading to get the word out about the bullying book, that have been released. The items will help "educate and inspire" children. The items to be purchased are, but not limited to:
1. Be Someone's Hero Stand Up To Bullying Two-Sided Drawstring Backpack Item # BP-456
2. Be Someone's Hero Stand Up To Bullying 300-Piece Theme Kit Item # VP-6524
3. Bullying Prevention Pencil Assortment Item # VP-6932
4. Let's Put An End To Bullying Parent-Child Learning Activities Book - Personalization Available
Item # PCB-5
5. I'm A Bucket Filler Water Bottle
Item # WB-947F

T-shirts have been designed for advertisement, and they make awesome giveaways! They have a way of making events, especially a book launch, momentous!
I would also like to have books on hand at my book launch and for booksignings/readings at schools, bookstores and libraries.






Funds for purchasing more business cards, bookmarks, brochures, and flyers for promoting, are also needed.

If donations exceed my goal, it will be put towards a venue for the launch of Nyrah's Bully and the introduction of my other books. Funds are needed ASAP, to finish paying my illustrator, because the book is about 75% complete. Yay! My goal is to have the book available for gift purchase.

Why This Means So Much To Me:
I write from inspiration, incidents and situations surrounding my environment, particularly one that took place in May. A first grader at the time, was bullied and physically assaulted by a fifth grader. I am friends with  this little girl and her family.
When I heard about the incident, it brought back a flood of memories from my childhood. You see, my sister and I was bullied as well. It's a memory I suppressed.  I knew then, what my next book would be. That little girl did not deserve what happened to her and she did not get the justice she deserved. Although the book was written fictitiously using characters and acts from my surroundings, the theme is real. There's NOTHING fiction about BULLYING! There will be a dedication page for little Lanira in the book. There you will read the actual story.  It's not fun remembering bad things that happen to you, but unfortunaetly, it has a way of resurfacing. Her parents said this book will help "turn a negative situation into a positive one." I made sure the ending is one you will not expect. For this reason, I am proud to be a children's book author!

I RIGHT the ending!

Words will never express how humbled, thankful and greatful, this family and I will be to receive contributions toward seeing this book, positive promotion items, T-shirts, and addtional needed items come to fruition!  Just think, you can look back and feel proud that YOU, helped turn a "Negative Situation, into a Positive One!

Thank y♥u from the t♥p of our heads to the s♥les of our feet. ♥
