Tell our readers a little bit about yourself. We want to get to know you better! Well, I'm 22 years old and I've been writing since the first grade. I mostly write within the horror/paranormal genre but I've also been dabbling in romance and thriller. A lot of my pieces I've written are based or loosely based on real life experiences that I've been through, which I think it make it more personal and interesting.

To be quite honest, I don’t even know where to start with RRSMS other than to say it’s an amazing family. Rock & Roll Saved My Soul  is a non-profit publishing company. They are known for putting together anthologies for new and experienced writers alike whose profits go towards charity. They work with people and hope to inspire, but more than that, the entire team is family. When  Kate Marie Robbins  started RRSMS, I was always interested in helping. I helped with promotions and contributed pieces to multiple anthologies, but when Kate mentioned that she wanted to expand RRSMS, I was ecstatic. That’s when Authors Against Bullying  was started, but we will get to that later. RRSMS has a group of people that work behind the scenes to make sure that everything is running smoothly for you guys. They have so much going on between Facebook,  Twitter ,  Tumblr ,  YouTube , and so much more. With so many anthologies out so far, they still hop...

An interview with founder, Bree Vanderland Tell our readers a bit about your book series. Where did the idea come from?  Authors Against Bullying is something that was put together collectively. There was one day that I stopped all my plans and set them aside to talk to a friend of mine who was having a difficult time with people who were constantly picking on her in school. After listening to her talk about it and pour out her emotions, I wanted to do more to help than just stay here and listen since we were countries away from each other.  I know it’s small, but the Authors Against Bullying is not just to raise money for different bullying charities, but it’s also to raise awareness. Realizing there’s a problem is the first step to solving it.  What charity do your books benefit? Most of our book’s royalties are going to STOMP Out Bullying, a New York based charity who has made it their goal to raise awareness of bullying and to teach people how to be kinder...
