Seven years of consistency paid off on May 19, 2012 when Dylesia Hampton, 21, cracked open the finished copy of her first book, Encouragement at Your Fingertips: 365 Days of Inspiration. Dylesia began writing the book at the age of 15—before she even knew it would be a book. “I was in the tenth grade at I. C. Norcom High School in Portsmouth, VA,” she says, “I can’t remember if something happened to prompt this, but one day, I started sending my friends encouraging text messages. And, I never stopped.” Since then, Dylesia’s text message ministry—“Dolly Daily”—has grown from just a handful of peers to over 300 recipients; and now, it’s in book form. The 378-page work includes 365 original quotes from the author. The quotes address a variety of subjects, ranging from love and relationships to spirituality and success.  When asked where she sees herself in the future, “Dolly” says, “I don’t really know. But, I do know it’ll be somewhere big. I have more than a few book ideas up my sleeve, and I know I’ll make the New York Times Best Seller List one day.”  To purchase your copy of Dylesia’s book and aid her in reaching her Best Seller List dreams, visit www.amazon.com on or after July 7, 2012.
