| Publisher Description: Sybille Malone lives in an overpopulated Manhattan, Region One, of Global Good 2202. Their society is the fulfillment of utopian ideals developed by the surviving masses of 2100. Seventeen-year-old Sybille is a resident of Dayshift and longs for a Nightshift boy known only as Mark. Distraught by Global Good's restrictive culture, Sybille is desperate until she finds a relic of a past civilization. The discovery of Blair's diary sets off a chain of supernatural events that not only affects Sybille's close relationships, but has Global Good scrambling to find the culprit. Note: The first book is written in multi-perspectives as a puzzle that needs piecing together. The story concludes as the characters find their common thread. Book 2 in the series - St. Blair: Sybille's Reign finds Sybille in the eye of a celestial storm. |
Contributor Bio(s): Skinner, E. W.: - E.W. (Emily Williams) Skinner was a protege of the late master of the pulps or paperback originals, Harry Whittington. Skinner interviewed Whittington during her days as a feature writer for the Clearwater Sun daily newspaper and its weekly division. They became friends and he taught her how to plot and gave her approval of the original outline and sample chapter for her first novel, "Marquel" shortly before he died in 1989. "Marquel" is a Hollywood genre in the Adult Fiction category. After Whittington passed away, Skinner challenged herself to write as her mentor did and wrote a chapter a day and finished the novel "Marquel" in 52 days. For more details on the novel's history read: http: //www.thefilmmom.blogspot.com/2012/10/why-book-trailer-now.html Fast forward, a second daughter Blair is born and Emily and husband Tom focus on raising their family.
