The Book Signing At MacArthur Mall

ONE OF THE BOOK SIGNINGS FOR

 

 "THE VILLAGE"

 

 

 

 

Just A Few

 

A Thank You from the "Kevin Boldens in Society"

 

 

Here is a picture of "Just A Few"

A number of people who support "My Call"

This photograph was taken at my "book-signing"

This was done in Norfolk, VA at the Macarthur Mall

 

These are just a few people who has seen God's Work

I am referring to the "Miracles" God has performed for me

But truly "None" of these Miracles came too easy

Why? I had not put my full "Faith and Trust" in thee!

 

It was brought to my attention after I had written my book

A novel based on "Epilepsy Education", which is a sleeper

A Man read my work and agreed the knowledge needed for epilepsy

He then said, "This is also focused on being, Our Brother's Keeper"

 

I thought for a second or two because of what he said

It written in a way so that anyone could enjoy the story

Yes, "Mr. Kevin Bolden" and many others have epilepsy

But because of "Just A Few" like you, they do not have to worry.

"MY EPILEPSY MAY BE PRESENT, BUT I AM STILL A GIFT FROM GOD!"

HOW CAN YOU BE A DONOR? YOU HAVE EPILEPSY!

On Oct.23, 2013, Lowell G. Evans did a "Bone Marrow Transplant" for his sister, Rosalee Irvin (Ms Rose) who had "Leukemia." Many people questioned the idea of Lowell even being "tested" to be a candidate all because of his epilepsy. The fact is that the ones questioning this ''testing" knew nothing about epilepsy. There is a "Lack of Knowledge" of epilepsy in society and these individuals proved it.

 After the testing of all of the siblings in the family and Ms Rose's son, Lowell, the youngest child in the family was selected to be the donor. Lowell G. Evans, author of “The Village.” This again surprised many people as they wondered how that could be. The fact of the matter is that there is no way that "Epilepsy" can be transferred to the other person.

 The entire operation was a “success” and this was due to the "Excellent Health Condition" Ms Rose had always kept herself in. In 2010 she successfully completed the 3 Day Walk for Breast Cancer.  She always took pride in taking care of herself. She had no idea that she was going to be diagnosed with "Leukemia." Her "Positive Attitude" also made a huge difference in her recovery at Johns Hopkins Hospital in the state of Maryland.

 After eight (8) weeks of aftercare following the Bone Marrow Transplant, on Dec. 20, 2013 Ms Rose called her brother the, "Author with Epilepsy" to inform him that she was now Cancer-Free!

 Ms Rose and her brother Lowell with the help of God showed everyone “The Love that they have for one another.” Lowell then shared with society his new slogan, “My Epilepsy may be Present, but I am still a Gift from God!"

Look at what God has done!

IMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH INVITES AUTHOR TO SPEAK

Article on March 6, 2014 from South Sentinel Newspaper, Urbanna,Va.

 

Lowell G. Evans

 

Author to Present Program on

Epilepsy Sunday at Immanuel

 

Lowell G. Evans will present a program on his new book, "The Village," and his experiences with epilepsy on Sunday, March 9, at 11 a.m. at Immanuel Baptist Church in Saluda. The public is invited to attend.

"I have written this novel and created a character named 'Mr. Kevin Bolden' to represent epilepsy," said Evans. "This idea has been very successful as I have been asked to speak at schools, churches, and organizations all around the area. I was also a guest on the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN) show ‘Joy In Our Town.’ This was a 30-minute talk show in which I was asked questions about my book and the epilepsy.

"Bolden was a man sure of many things but when his corporate job found out that he was diagnosed with epilepsy, the fate of his career and family became questionable," continued Evans. "Once 'The Village,' Kevin’s neighborhood, got a whiff of the inequality and unsatisfactory response of his job, it felt an obligation to rally together in efforts to help save his lifestyle and others that could be affected by the unfairness. For him, dealing with epilepsy was one thing, but getting people to understand the effects that it has on the person and their environment was a battle in itself. It would take 'a village' to win his life back.

"Kevin Bolden has epilepsy, but epilepsy does not have him; especially with the help of The Village!" he said.

He was born and raised in Gloucester. He is a member of the Middle Peninsula Epilepsy Support Group that meets once a month in Gloucester.

Evans has a passion for poetry as he refers to his works as “words from the heart” because God places the words on his heart, making it easy for him to put them on paper. He always believed in the old African American proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” With that in mind he was fortunate to have been raised in society where others believed the same.

After developing epilepsy during his college years at Virginia Wesleyan College in Norfolk from a fall while playing basketball, Evans was faced with some very “negative” thoughts about his future by his classmates and others who learned about his epilepsy. He was questioned about how he was going to complete school, how he was going to continue to play basketball, and how he was going to work and go to school at the same time.

Evans said what bothered him the most was "the fact that all of the questions and statements that were being made were made by people who had no knowledge of epilepsy.”

After years of dealing with the “lack of knowledge” of epilepsy, Evans decided he "would make a difference in the lives of others." His goal, starting with this novel, is to educate on an international level about epilepsy and to make life better for not only those with the condition but those who may one day come in contact with someone who is experiencing it.

With “The Village,” Evans plans to start a scholarship for high school seniors, using the theme of the book to help raise epilepsy awareness. “For decades, society has made life challenging for individuals who have epilepsy. Now it is time for an individual with epilepsy to take on that challenge for the lives of others!” he said.

"The Village" is available online at www.barnesandnoble.com and www.lyrical4cast.com. The book was published by Lyrical4cast Publishing of Newport News.

 

Lowell G.Evans Author of The Village and Creator of Mr. Kevin Bolden

Author: Lowell G. Evans

 

 

 

 

The author of the novel, "The Village" and creator of character, "Mr. Kevin Bolden" Mr. Lowell G. Evans of Virginia Beach, Va, has been invited to speak at Immanuel Baptist Church on March 9, 2014 at the 11:00am service.

 

Lowell is a person who developed the neurological condition known as "epilepsy" from a fall he had in 1980 while playing basketball in college. After developing the condition he noticed the "lack of knowledge of epilepsy" in society. Lowell was advised to stopped playing basketball, reduce his semester hours, and consider twice before working a second job while in college. All of this came about because of the fact that he was now diagnosed with "epilepsy."

 

Again with the "lack of knowledge" of the condition he found there to be in society, he actually did just the opposite of what people thought he should not do. All of this was to prove that individuals with "Epilepsy" can still live a normal and successful life.

 

Year later Lowell, who is known for his poetry, decided to write a book to help "eradicate epilepsy ignorance" in society. This was done also because of the fact that he noticed that "people were not willing to admit to having the condition."

 

After joining Epilepsy Support Groups, meeting people on the Internet, researching epilepsy, the idea of creating an individual to represent epilepsy was decided. This is when Lowell created "Mr. Kevin Bolden." This character is a very successful, educated, corporate family men who happened to have "epilepsy." Mr. Bolden moves his family into a neighborhood called, "The Village." The youth in The Village come to know Mr. Bolden through his children but the adults of The Village never really take the time to meet their "new neighbor."

 

When Mr. Bolden has a seizure one day in the backyard while playing with the youth, they become scared! It is at this time when Mr. Bolden and his children "educate" the youth about epilepsy. Education is the "key" to understanding epilepsy as many people have been discriminated against because of the "lack of knowledge" of this neurological condition. Lowell's goal is to "eradicate epilepsy ignorance in society."  

 

Please come out to hear him speak at 11:00am March 9, 2014.The address of the church is:
