Welcome to Day 4 of the @4WillsPub "THANK YOU, HOSTS!" Blog Tour for #RRBCAuthor @NonnieJules #RRBC #RWISA


GIVEAWAY! One (1) Five-Day Blog Tour!
Leave a comment below to have a chance to win a blog tour of your own.

I am excited to participate in the "Thank you, Hosts!" blog tour for those authors who regularly volunteer to host others on their blogs for 4WillsPublishing clients. I am honored to share with you the founder of Rave Reviews Book Club (RRBC) and the Rave Writers International Society of Authors (RWISA) - Nonnie Jules.

Today, we are focusing on Nonnie's amazing short story, No Pedigree.


 BOOK BLURB:

Growing up on the wrong side of the tracks, Baylee never quite fit in...anywhere. She was taunted and teased because her clothes had no designer labels, and spit upon because her only pair of shoes had holes in the bottom. The butt of many jokes, she was excluded from all social activities, sneered at by the parents of her peers after school as she waited for the bus, watching them drive away in their fancy cars; assaulted in the most unthinkable fashion.

Having been born to a white father and a black native American mother didn't make things any easier. In fact, that circumstance made her life ten times harder - until the day she made them all stand up, take notice, and regret every ugly word and deed they had inflicted upon her.

AUTHOR BIO:
Hi, I’m Nonnie Jules – President & Founder of RAVE REVIEWS BOOK CLUB {RRBC} and RAVE WRITERS – INT’L SOCIETY OF AUTHORS {RWISA}.  As a writer who values the (polished) written word, it is my mission to help my fellow authors understand that their reputation as a writer should be treated as a rare treasure and that the only way to be taken seriously in this business is to ensure that your writing (no matter the forum) is impeccably written and well-edited.  If not, you’re just another “Joe” with a pen who was the first to raise his hand when Amazon asked:  “Hey, any old Joe out there wanna publish a book?  Don’t worry, it doesn’t have to be good and there’s absolutely no hard work involved.”
FYI:  If you don’t care what you put out into the world, you’re just a laughing stock in the literary community … and your name is “Joe.”

    How wonderful to see Nonnie get some love on your blog, Yvette! I have loved all of her stories, but "No Pedigree" was such a great story with a great message! It is very relevant and every young adult should be required to read it! Thank you for hosting, Yvette!
