There is a new world number one, and his name is not Jeb Anders.
Ranked eleven in the world, Jeb celebrates his twentieth birthday
with his family and friends, but celebrating is hardly what he
needs. By his own choice, Jeb has not played a match in months, and
although he longs to be out on the court doing what he loves, Jeb
lacks the zeal to train and questions his place in the
ever-changing world of tennis. He eventually resumes his quest for
the one thing he craves most-his first slam. Winning Roland Garros
will not be easy. But when secrets of a past in Paris are revealed,
Jeb discovers he is on a quest for more than just a grand slam
title.
Jeb Anders is nineteen years old, famous, and is on top of the
tennis world. Son to tennis coaches and brother to an identical
twin, Jeb's life could not be better. As the current world No. 1,
Jeb's only desire is to win his first slam. He prepares for what he
considers the most important fortnight of his life and dreams of
being crowned "The All England Lawn Tennis Club Single Handed
Champion of the World." With his passion for the game and love of
the grass court, Jeb can already envision the trophy in his grasp.
However, before he strikes his first ball on Centre Court,
Wimbledon, Jeb learns there is far more at stake. The world No. 1
soon realizes that it will take more than his game to solve one of
the biggest and most dangerous puzzles of his life.
Wash Belly is a nostalgic look into the childhood of Gregory
McEwan, author of Freedom City and HOMORIA. Back in Jamaica, the
youngest child is usually known as the "Wash Belly" of the family,
and being the last of several children, Gregory was indeed "Mommy's
Wash Belly". With his parents living in Canada for most of the
earlier years of their lives, Gregory and his older siblings
resided with their adopted grandparents, Banka, and Miss Dell. Life
within the Longmore home had its ups and downs, but the closely
bonded siblings had one common goal - they all dreamed of moving to
Canada one day. Wash Belly will take you back to the 70's - back to
Trelawny, Jamaica; in a little house filled with laughter, good
times, tears, and sorrow...
It is Benjamin's wish that certain things in his life be different.
Benjamin is an identical twin; he craves individuality. He knows
he's different and he struggles to find acceptance. Things change
quickly, but he soon realizes the true value of the life he
had...after it is all gone. He finds himself at a place where only

even death exist; he finds himself at Freedom City. Surrender your
mind and be captured - taken to a place where excitement, mystery,
passion, and even danger lurk. Freedom city is a coming-of-age
story that covers the experiences of Benjamin, a young man whose
life changes on his twentieth birthday. Freedom City will take you
on a mysterious journey, it will take you to a paradise. But you
will have no choice but to feel what Benjamin feels - he questions
whether this place is the paradise that it appears to be, or a
prison for himself and others like him. You will find it near
impossible to escape from FREEDOM CITY.

As a young girl, she was just an orphan - nothing special. But
after another failed attempt to run away from her beastly uncle
Enos, sixteen-year-old Ulia had no choice but to accept what her
unfortunate life had to offer. Ulia eventually finds her Beau,
falls in love, and it isn't long before she finds herself in the
lap of luxury. She quickly learns the ways and the grace of a lady
at court...and eventually, she finds herself living like royalty.
But Ulia soon learns that her new home is a haven for dark and
shocking secrets; for the troubles she believed to be long left
behind still linger on...as though they intend to haunt her
forever.
What if you lived in a world where your true identity was a mystery
-- a world governed by sexuality? Homoria is a peaceful city -- but
you must abide by its rules. Kale is only eighteen years old, and
the city's ways are easy enough to understand, but to him, they are
near impossible to obey. He is simply different, and finding
himself paired with one he could never love, he leaves behind him a
life of luxury and promise. Finally, he revels in the joys of love,
but even that brings much pain! He refuses to allow others to
decide his destiny; where he abides!even who he chooses to love.
Unsure of his identity, he is left to struggle in an entangled web
of surprises and danger.
