Title: CHEERAGE FEARAGE - YA e-book

BIO:

Sylvia lives in the heart of Cajun country on beautiful Bayou Corne. Swaying moss, reflected in black water, fuels her imagination. Surrounded by a cypress swamp, she has only to step out her back door to enter a world of mystery and majesty.

Multi-published author, Sherry Gloag is a transplanted Scot now living in the beautiful coastal countryside of Norfolk, England.  She considers the surrounding countryside as extension of her own garden, to which she escapes when she needs "thinking time" and solitude to work out the plots for her next novel.  While out walking she enjoys talking to her characters, as long as there are no other walkers close by.

Apart from writing, Sherry enjoys gardening, walking, reading and cheerfully admits her books tend to take over most of the shelf and floor space in her workroom-cum-office.  She also finds crystal craft work therapeutic.

How many years have you been in business?

I have a small hamburger shop on the corner. My burgers are the best in the city. People gladly pay the $5 a piece to enjoy them. A person comes into my shop and demands that I give him a burger because he has a right to it. He comes behind the counter and takes a burger. Then he goes out on the street and sells if for $1.

Did he steal from me?

EPIC ANNOUNCES THE OPENING OF ITS YEARLY COMPETITIONS

The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) celebrated World Book and Copyright Day on April 23. According to the website (http://bit.ly/UNESCO_Copyright), "By celebrating this Day throughout the world, UNESCO seeks to promote reading, publishing and the protection of intellectual property through copyright."

The selection of April 23 was not accidental, as that date has a strong tie to literature. Many luminaries of classic literature either were born or died on this day: Cervantes, Shakespeare, Nabokov, among many others. One of the main goals is to encourage a "renewed respect for the irreplaceable contributions of those who have furthered the social and cultural progress of humanity."
