Back in the summer of 2013, I reviewed The Weapon Bearer by Aaron Thomas. It was one of the greatest books that I have read and I am so excited to hear that it may soon be published! Aaron has a Kickstarter set up where people can buy and copy of the book for only $10 and many more things that would help him gain the money needed to get on the right track. I strongly suggest that everyone visit his website and purchase a copy!

It'll only take a few minutes and I'm sure Aaron would greatly appreciate it!

Allegiant by Veronica Roth (feel free to rant!)
How would you feel if you were told your whole life was a lie? That the people you loved and lost didn't really matter? Tris, Tobias, and their group of friends do the unthinkable: they travel outside the fence. It there that they find out that they were a part of an experimental group created to heal the remaining broken pieces of the United States. Together they conquer unthinkable tasks to save their loved ones still inside their fractured town. But at what cost? What would you do to save the ones you love?
Wow. I am truly shocked by the outcome of Veronica Roth's newest book ALLEGIANT. Although the ending ripped out pieces of my heart and squished it to pieces, IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! I can't accurately describe how wonderfully Roth did on her final book. It was the perfect ending to the marvelous series despite the reviews I have read by not-so-pleased fans. One reader suggested that "we demand a full refund and boycott Veronica Roth" but that's just absurd! Allegiant is a wonderful work of art that should be shared with everyone. Roth wanted her series to be unique from other stories, and she definitely accomplished it!
Are you upset by the ending? Share your thoughts and tell me how you would make it better! This is the only place were you can rant, curse, and scream your lungs out without judgement!
Be sure to read the DIVERGENT series and tell me what you think!

No Matter What by Summer Howard
Wow...
I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life! No Matter What by Summer Howard tells the amazing tale of true love between two teenagers who are put through emotional, physical, and religious stress. I really can't tell you a lot about the plot because I really think this story requires you to read it cover to cover to get the full impact of the story and the message behind it.
I loved how Summer used the word of God throughout her book even though a lot of people would view it as "uncool," I respect her greatly for it! Christian teens should find this book a great read, especially those who love the classic romance novels.
WARNING: THIS BOOK MY CAUSE YOU TO CRY FOR HOURS WITHOUT PAUSE, CURL INTO THE FETAL POSITION IN DESPAIR, AND MAKING YOU A SOBBING MESS.
You have been warned.
Nevertheless, No Matter What is a fantastic read that I believe many teens and hopeless romantics will enjoy!
If you want any more information about the book or where it can be bought, please shoot me a message and I'll answer whatever I can.
Please read this book and let me know what you think!
I promise you won't regret it, No Matter What!
Bad joke...Iapologize...sorry.

Interview with Aaron Thomas: author of The Weapon Bearer
Sorry this is so late, but here is the interview with Aaron Thomas who wrote The Weapon Bearer!
I had a fantastic time reading his book and look forward to reading whatever books he may write in the future. :)
1.How did you come up with the ideas for The Weapon Bearer?
This story didn’t just pop into my head. I have always been a daydreamer and told myself stories to pass the solitary moments of standing in a tower at 3am in the military. Over time these stories evolved into intricate plots and I retold them to myself tweaking the conversations and actions every time I told them to myself.
2.What made you want to write and publish your own book?
I always wrote the book in my head and but did not have the confidence in my writing skills to actually put the idea’s on paper. The day came when my I was telling my wife about idea’s I had for books or movies. I think she got tired of hearing about them because she told me, “Shut up and start writing them.” After a month of planning and outlines I began writing my stories.
3.Who/What is your favorite author/book?
I have read through the wheel of time series by Robert Jordan a few times as the series had a new book released. The intricacy of his plot lines and politics in a made up world confused and amazed me at his ability to keep the world and characters so different in their personalities.
4.Where do you draw your inspiration from?
I have always drawn my inspiration for whatever is going on in my life. I have a passion for science so I mix a lot of science into my stories as skills are increased with the knowledge of the world around me. Readers might learn some useful skills when reading my books.
5.The Weapon Bearer is only the first book in the Search for the Brights series. How many books do you think will be in the series?
The series has evolved since I started to write it. It was only supposed to be three books long but plot lines crossed ideas changed and book one ran longer than I had intended forcing me to end it sooner in the plot line that I had intended. These things being said, so far I will have to extend the series to around 5 books.
6.Do you have a release date set for The Weapon Bearer?
Unfortunately no, I am depending on akickstarter fund to be able to provide money for a proofreader before I submit it to smashwords. I would love to see the book in online stores by October 2013
7.Do you have any advice for others who want to be published authors?
START WRITING…no matter what your skills, no matter what your idea’s, no matter whats holding you back, you cannot be a writing if you never start. The good thing about being an author is you can always change what you wrote before its published.

The Weapon Bearer by Aaron Thomas
The Weapon Bearer by Aaron Thomas is a truly amazing story full of wizards, magic, friendship, and betrayal. The journey starts out with Kilen fighting for his father's sword who was a powerful weapon bearer who never returned from a mission for the King. His simple task filled with rage and revenge quickly turned into a much bigger quest-becoming a weapon bearer more powerful than anyone had ever thought possible.
Aaron Thomas definitely deserves a round of applause for his work! The world that he has created is beyond anything that I would've ever dreamed. The Weapon Bearer had me hanging on to every last word; I didn't want to put it down! I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasies, magic, and maybe even a smidge bit of mystery! Two thumbs up and praises for the first book in The Search for the Brights series! I hope to soon see this book available in stores and online throughout the country.
Aaron has certainly earned a place in my personal collection and I suggest everyone else do the same!
Now I'm eagerly awaiting the second book in the series, The Rise of the Citadel!
An interview with Aaron Thomas will follow soon after this post.
