Another Interview and 19 Days Left Before Kickstarter Project Ends!

Hello everyone! Hope you all are having a great Monday!

I had a really great Sunday (two radio segments on Community Feedback with host Richard Donnell on 96 KIX 95.7 FM in Jackson, TN and great church service at Family Worship Center with a great and powerful message from Pastor Jereme Smith.)

There are only 19 days left before my Kickstarter project (http://kck.st/HzzmEt) to publish the soon to be bestselling novel, S.O.L.A.D.:™  Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™ ends.

This is a God-given dream and I've been pursuing this so I can share it with the world. Please, if you haven't pledged yet, take time this week and do it and spread the word. You can pledge by clicking the link above.

Also, I'll briefly speak about the project and my novel on "Butterfly Evolution" with hosts Tammy Gaitor and Tika Beard at 8 p.m. Central at www.blogtalkradio.com/butterflyevolution. Just click the link to listen in. If you can't tune in live, you can click the link after the show is airs and listen to it.

They've had me on before to talk about my project and novel and were nice enough to ask me back on.

I thank God for these blessings and how He is showing me He is with me.

Before I end this post, let me share this with you.

You need to stay encouraged when you are pursuing your dream. It's not easy, but you need to encourage yourself not just daily, but constantly.

When you have seen your "Promised Land" and know that God is leading you there, others may talk you out of it and tell you that it is impossible to get there.

Don't listen to that. God is able and will take you to your "Promised Land" if, as God told Joshua three times in Joshua 1, "be strong and of good courage."

God told Joshua that he should keep the Word of God in his heart and meditate (think on it) day and night (at all times).

God went on to tell Joshua that if he did this, "then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success."

God also told Joshua not to be afraid or discouraged and that He would be with Joshua wherever he went.

God loves us and He wants what is best for us! So, don't give up on your God-given dreams ("Promised Land").

Do what God tells you to do and before you know it, you will be walking in your "Promised Land".

Have a great day and please click the link below and make your pledge.

"S.O.L.A.D.™ Origins: Jeff:Ward of Law™" short film NOW AVAILABLE!

Everyone, today’s the day!

In an effort to encourage more people to give S.O.L.A.D.™: Soldiers of Light Against Darkness™ a chance and pledge to help get the novel published, I have created several short films based on the characters from the novel.

“S.O.L.A.D.™ Origins” will show you what the characters in the novel were doing before the novel begins. You’ll get a feel for the characters personalities and get some of their background story.

I really believe in this novel and I believe the characters I’ve created will entertain you, make you laugh, cry, stand up and cheer and fight for your dreams and purpose in life.

The first video, “S.O.L.A.D.™ Origins: Jeff: Ward of Law™” is NOW AVAILABLE for EVERYONE to view! Please watch the video (click here) and learn more about this character and his struggles on Dark Earth.

The video might not be Hollywood-blockbuster level (yet), but I did the best I could with the limited technology I have on my computer.

I just wanted to share with you how I see S.O.L.A.D.™ and how much I believe in it!

So, please enjoy the video, share it with everyone you know and please, please, pledge (click here)!

Those who have pledged will get early access to future S.O.L.A.D. videos and news.

There are only 25 days left! Please help make S.O.L.A.D.™ a SUCCESS!

Thanks,

Tyrone Tony Reed Jr.

How Much Is Your Dream Worth?

How much is a dream worth? Is it worth your blood, sweat & tears? Is it worth conquering your fears and facing the things within yourself that hold you back? Is it worth looking ridiculous to others as you pursue your God-given dreams?

These are questions I have had to ask myself daily as I took and continue to take steps to achieving those dreams.

So many things can come up against you. People say things or things come up that can discourage you if, and only if, you let them.

It's hard not to be discouraged. You believe in the dream God has given you so strongly that you don't understand why others can't see it and believe in it too.

But you have to believe and have faith in God that He will make everything come together and work at the right time.

So, back to my question. Is the dream worth it? All the trouble, the nights crying, the naysayers, etc?

The answer is yes, because a dream realized is so much better than a what if.

The dream in your heart won't just change your life. It will change the lives of others.

So don't give up. Your dream is definitely worth it.

New Section Available on the Official Blog of S.O.L.A.D.™

A new section has been created where you will find reviews of S.O.L.A.D.™ from people who got to read the book in advance of its official release.

More will come, but here's the first one...


"I LOVED this book!
The characters are easy to relate to, the action is suspenseful and thrilling, and the story is so captivating.
I found myself recognizing my faults and excuses in the actions of the main characters. And, through their struggles and growth, I realized I could also recognize my strengths.
This is one of those books that, once read, makes the reader want to change the world.
If you've ever felt like things are hopeless, you need to read this book.
If you've ever felt like a nothing, you need to read this book.
If you've ever told yourself that God can't use you to make a difference, you need to read this book."

There are future writers, doctors, leaders, teachers and more who will read this novel and want to help others to become the best they can be.


It all starts with making this dream a reality!


So many other writers had to have help to make their dreams (novels) a reality.
