This anthology was devised from the Overcoming Adversity Blog Hop where Nick asked authors to write a 500 word piece story about Overcoming Adversity!
The proceeds of this anthology will help his son Andrew to be schooled at a school of his choice enabling him to achieve his goals and overcome his disabilities to allow him a future in the career he wishes to persue!
I wish Nick and Andrew all the best and hope the collection of short stories allows Andrew to persue his dreams.
OVERCOMING ADVERSITY
AN ANTHOLOGY FOR ANDREW
Purchase Links:
Smashwords: https://www.
Blurb:
A
collection of seventy moving and uplifting original pieces - real life,
flash fiction, and poetry - about battling against the odds and the
ultimate triumph of the human spirit. The contributors include Amazon
bestselling authors Alex J. Cavanaugh and Kyra Lennon, and the cream of
upcoming talent.
The anthology is part of a fundraising effort to send the editor's stepson, Andrew McNaughton, to a specialist college in England. Andrew has cerebral palsy, and is a remarkable young man with a promising future. However, the free further education options offered in his own country of Scotland will not challenge him and allow him to progress. In order to access the education he deserves, Andrew will have to pay exorbitant fees, thus creating a situation of discrimination.
Help us get Andrew to college by buying a book that runs the full gamut of human emotions, ultimately leaving you inspired and glad to be alive. Whatever struggles you are going through, our sincere hope is that this book will help.

A Grand New Age of Boom or Dust?
Boomtown Craze, Book 3 in the Backworlds
series is here!
In the far future, humanity settles the
stars, bioengineering its descendents to survive in a harsh universe.
To secure his future, Craze must propel his
world into a more prosperous era. Only days away from the grand opening of his
new and improved tavern, he is confronted by a loony Backworlder intent on
mucking up his plans. Gaunt and trembling, she claims her spaceship is
possessed. She also has a connection to the underworld that shakes loose the
dark past of one of Craze’s closest friends. It all threatens to end Craze’s
prosperity before it begins.
Meanwhile off world, Captain Talos works
desperately to outwit the mercenary Jixes and lure them away from his and
Craze’s budding prospects. The mind-control weapon Talos uses against them is
wearing thin, and his next move may be his last.
Will Craze and Talos’s efforts bring about
a grand new age of boom or damn them to forever struggle in the dust?
