Gregory is plagued by threats of revenge from his jealous twin brother, leading to the deterioration of his mental health. What will Gregory do then?

She dedicates her childhood memories and stories to her grandchildren.

Worcester News’ James Connell writes that Mr. Shooter wrote the book as a present for his ten-year old brother. The AALPS Midlands student has already written several books, this one being his first published title.
Tee J. Mueller
Ina Hughs of the Knoxville News Sentinel features a list of local authors in her book roundup feature. Included in the list is first-time Xlibris author Tee J. Mueller’s children’s book, Bubu Bear’s First Day of School. Tee J. shares that writing has always been her first love and that the book was inspired by walks in the woods behind her family home, where she would imagine it to be the home of magical creatures, fairies and elves.
Farishta Farhang
Beauty and brains may score points, but a heart full of generosity wins it all. For Farishta Farhang, being selected as one of the heat finalists for the Miss London 2012 competition is a chance to help people in need. As one-half of the duo behind the young adult drama Stranger's Love: Family's Blood, Farishta plans to continue writing but her goal at the moment is to raise money for charity. She says that after reading Miss World’s “Beauty with A Purpose” section, the University of Wolverhampton student was touched by the charities that the pageant supported and was inspired to enter—despite never having competed in a pageant before.
You can help your fellow Xlibris author to the crown by voting for her as well as donating money to the Miss London 2012 Thai Children's Trust or to the Miss London 2012 Deloitte National Charities or both. Please ensure that you include her name (Farishta Farhang) while donating. You can vote for Farishta by texting MISS LONDON15 to 63333 (include gap after "MISS"), or phoning 09013071037 and enter 15 when prompted. The public voting for the Miss London 2012 beauty pageant commenced last February 10, 2012, and will end on Monday, March 12, 2012, at 5:00 PM.
