**Step one...you die.**
**ONE CHOICE. TWO REALMS. NO SECOND CHANCE.**
Tenley "Ten" Lockwood is an average seventeen-year-old girl…who has spent the past thirteen months locked inside the Prynne Asylum. The reason? Not her obsession with numbers, but her refusal to let her parents choose where she’ll live — after she dies. There is an eternal truth most of the world has come to accept: Firstlife is merely a dress rehearsal, and real life begins after death.
In the Everlife, two realms are in power: Troika and Myriad, long-time enemies and deadly rivals. Both will do anything to recruit Ten, including sending their top Laborers to lure her to their side. Soon, Ten finds herself on the run, caught in a wild tug-of-war between the two realms that will do anything to win the right to her soul. Who can she trust? And what if the realm she's drawn to isn't where the boy she's falling for lives? She just has to stay alive long enough to make a decision… Views: 473

Award-winning poet Martín Espada gives voice to the spirit of endurance in the face of loss.In this powerful new collection of poems, Martín Espada articulates the transcendent vision of another, possible world. He invokes the words of Whitman in "Vivas to Those Who Have Failed," a cycle of sonnets about the Paterson Silk Strike and the immigrant laborers who envisioned an eight-hour workday. At the heart of this volume is a series of ten poems about the death of the poet's father. "El Moriviví" uses the metaphor of a plant that grows in Puerto Rico to celebrate the many lives of Frank Espada, community organizer, civil rights activist, and documentary photographer, from a jailhouse in Mississippi to the streets of Brooklyn. The son lyrically imagines his father's return to a bay in Puerto Rico: "May the water glow blue as a hyacinth in your hands." Other poems confront collective grief in the wake of the killings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School and police... Views: 473
Young writers in middle school through high school from Michigan's Eastern Upper Peninsula have contributed short stories and poetry to the most recent Pickford Community Library's Young Writers Workshop Anthology. Genres include sports fiction, paranormal, fantasy, and young adult romance.Young writers in middle school through high school from Michigan's EUP (Eastern Upper Peninsula) have contributed short stories and poetry to the most recent Pickford Community Library's Young Writers Workshop Anthology. They have attended biweekly writing lessons at the library from October 2015 through May 2016, the culmination of which is publication of their creative talents in this year's anthology. The Young Writers Workshop, now having completed its fourth year, is a result of a teen's request in 2012 for a writing program at the local community library. Two members of JLB Creatives Publishing, both authors themselves, one from Brimley, Michigan, and one from Astatula, Florida, agreed to form the group and enlighten the aspiring writers by using electronic conferencing to teach the sessions. The EUP writing enthusiasts learn everything from concept to publication and beyond; they go from basic sentence structure to the ins and outs of becoming published authors, including such topics as interpreting publishing contracts, creating book trailers, and handling rejection slips from publishers. Please take a look at what can be accomplished by young people who have a strong desire to share the stories in their heads with readers like you. Views: 473
