Kaleb Blackman and the Knox Twins are big time, the best that Langston Reigns Middle School has to offer. Like most boys, they love the spotlight, totally ambitious, yet unaware of the many vices that often come with it. In what has become a way of life all too familiar where the three boys have grown up, their story will determine if their loss was in vein. If they are indeed destined to overcome the stereotypes, the peer pressures, and the trials determined to rip them apart, it'll be because they stuck to their principles and by each other's side. This is the journey of a friend, a son, and ultimately of a survivor.All Rights Reserved

Jack: Book One in the Trilogy, the Battle Begins by gdorion

In Book 1, Jack conspires with friend Jeremy to undermine their racist, secessionist teacher's efforts to poison his students' minds with his benefits-of-slavery lectures. Will the students buy into it? Not if Jack has any say. The book is dedicated to my brother and to my old friend, Jack, the latter who, at 19, was killed speeding in his too-fast car, alone, in 1971. We met when I was a first grader at a Groton, Massachusetts parochial school. Jack was in second grade, I was in the first grade. One day Jack began teasing on the bus ride home so we got off at his bus stop to fight. I was little - he much bigger. He pinned me to the ground, forced me to quit. That kicked off our friendship that lasted years. Jack was a pitcher on the high school baseball team. He was so fast - somewhat wild. I was afraid to bat against him. He tried out for a professional farm team but didn't make it. He worked in the local factory and had no real career designs other than in sports which were the center of his life. Not long after his failed attempt(s) at major league baseball, he smashed into a tree at high speed on a quiet road early one morning. Jack had a 'hero complex' - needing to be the center of attention. He excelled at sports but wasn't interested in academics. He bet everything on his sports abilities that wowed neighborhood friends growing up. This story also is dedicated to both Jack and my brother, Paul, a friend of Jack's. Paul passed in January, 2016. I finally started Jack's story in 2000 when I began teaching in New York City. It dawned on me one day to transport Jack as a composite character - i.e., a character who has qualities and characteristics that Jack had but who also possessed ones he didn't have - into 1860's America. In the book, Jack becomes the hero - a status that mostly evaded him in real life. I think he would have been proud of the story. Many events are entirely fictional - some are not. All characters are fictional or partially so.

MAD LOVE by julia_dia

Have you ever encountered mad love? No, not the kind with butterflies in your belly and a sweet thrill, or even the relationship between two loving hearts. This love is different - it's a poison, it destroys life. What should you do if the past does not let go? Where can you hide from feelings bordering on mental illness? How do you escape a man who has become your shadow? No way... It's impossible to escape. It's impossible to hide. Living with it is unbearable. "You won't be happy with anyone, I won't allow it..."

Saints and Sinners by tanzwrites

At St. Augustine's Boarding School for the Elite, the lines between betrayal and loyalty, sin and virtue blur dangerously, where hierarchy eclipses dignity. In this novel, the distinction between saints and sinners is stark, echoing Oscar Wilde's words: "Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future." Vilhelm Andersen, the backup Crown Prince of Sweden, is overshadowed by his unfeeling older brother Henrik and is resented by the king and queen. Shipped off like unwanted cargo to Winchester, Vilhelm transforms his entire appearance, becoming unrecognizable yet harbouring a monumental secret. At St. Augustine's, where he embodies Poe's ominous raven, Vilhelm untangles a web of messy friendships, especially one with Emrhys Campbell, the Crown Prince of the UK---and ends up falling for Stellan Eriksson. In a town of fractured hearts striving for mending, multiple relationships and pairings of saints and sinners intertwine, culminating in a descent into madness---à la folie. One town, six pairings of saints and sinners---how many will find their happy ending? "I want to write poems on your skin with my lips. Count me among the sinners once more, for I sin in your name, my dear raven."
