The Harper's were the type of family that could crash and burn any minute. Fights and anger are always running astray while peace is a rarity. Then one day on the mother's birthday, their world turns more corrupt than before when someone is taken from their world and someone unexpected is dragged into it. This will lead then down a path of death, madness, and acceptance through the months to pass. All because of just one act in the past that is now coming back to ruin their whole world.

The untold past is about siblings, who have a powerful relationship, but their parents might be hiding something from them that might destroy their relationship

SYNPOSIS: THE STAR SHINER: Memoir of a Celebrity Make-up Artist by Evan Richardson (published May, 2013, McFarland & Co. Print ISBN: 978-0-7864-7096-9 Ebook ISBN: 978-1-4766-0137-3 http://www.mcfarlandpub.com/book-2.php?id=978-0-7864-7096-9 http://www.amazon.com/author/evanrichardson) The memoir traces a young man from a small rural Kentucky town coming to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York in the early ‘60s to study art and escape his domineering mother and abusive, alcoholic father. After a successful beginning in New York City as a fashion illustrator, and modeling in Paris, he becomes a makeup artist, one of the first to do make-up for American fashion magazines, working with Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and with notable fashion photographers: Richard Avedon, Irving Penn and Francesco Scavullo. The story is centered mainly between the ‘70s into the ‘90s and weaves the stories of celebrities at a time in New York City’s history when the city suffered financial difficulties that led to a lack of police protection, corruption and decadence, played out against the backdrop of the fashion and cosmetic worlds. While America concludes the war in Vietnam, the story takes the reader into wild nights at Studio 54 and into downtown after-hours sex dungeons, bars and discos on New York's lower West Side, seething with sex, drugs and violence, where people are treated merely as stepping stones to the next sexual encounter; culminating with the death of Richardson’s partner to AIDS in the early ‘80s that turns Richardson's life around with a spiritual awakening. As F. Scott Fitzgerald described the ‘20s: “It was the most expensive orgy in history.”

Five strangers. One forgotten mine. A shadow rising in the North. On the road to the frontier town of Phandalin, a noble fighter, an elven cleric, a halfling rogue, a dwarven soldier, and a folk hero are thrown together by chance. What begins as a simple escort mission quickly unravels into a deadly conspiracy. A ruthless crime syndicate grips the town in fear as goblin raiders strike from the wild. Beneath all that in the darkness within the mountains, a sinister figure known only as the Black Spider seeks the power of the lost Wave Echo Cave, but darker forces are already stirring beyond Phandelver. Dragon Cultists, Waterdeep's shadowy guilds, and an ancient undead threat all watch from the shadows, waiting for the right moment to strike. To survive, the five must learn to trust one another-or watch Faerûn fall to a darkness greater than any of them imagined. The shadows gather. The mine calls. The Adventure begins. DnD, the Black Spider, Tiamat, and Xanather (c) Wizards of the Coast

Do you know anyone with a crippling, morbid fear of flying? Well, you do now. I have a theory: An event one spring day in the town cemetery at the dawn of my existence had everything to do with planting a stark view of life and death which led, eventually, to a profound mistrust of infernal contraptions that carried you up into the sky. Because of that profound mistrust, vast portions of my prime were spent (and misspent) on long journeys aboard trains. A trip that would have been a blip in time by plane was an entirely different deal on the train—days and nights, not hours. Veritable miniature eternities. This led to encounters, adventures, dilemmas and situations that could only happen on a train—and not merely because of the train’s comparative slowness, but because train people are an entirely different breed of human from airplane people (or bus people, for that matter, and that’s another story). Trains are so....well....so existential. This stark view of life and death, which also had plenty to do with me lobbying my mother (in vain) to get busy on building a fallout shelter in our basement, had some stiff opposition. To be an American child in the 50s was to open one’s innocent eyes on the post-WW2 decade, an era jumping with progress,plenitude, dazzling crazed optimism and fun. Nightmare glimpses of atrocities from that big bad war we missed by the skin of our teeth bobbed to the surface occasionally, sobering us and reminding us of our aberrant good luck, and in my case, whispering that innocence was but a thin, thin membrane, that this world I’d been born into was a seething, infinitely complicated place, and I’d better pay attention. But let’s have some fun! Here we go, with Bad Boys. What’s rock ‘n’ roll but the shot heard ‘round the world?
