Synopsis

Growing up in Accomack County, Virginia was an unforgettable experience for both authors, Maxcine Phyllis Selby Collier and Gregory Vincent Selby. This book recounts some of those experiences -- some true, some almost true and most completely fabricated. Please note that the character resemblance to any living or deceased person, except the authors themselves, their parents and paternal grandfather is completed coincidental and definitely not intentional. This initial book is really the first in a series (yet to be completed) detailing the lives of the two precocious siblings, George Franklin Shelly and Phyllis Alice Shelly. Many adventures are certain to follow, as these two adolescents grow older and a little wiser (perhaps).

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

She was the editor of the undergraduate newspaper, the Hampton Script, during her senior year at Hampton Institute (now Hampton University). Maxcine, who has a passion for writing, has had several articles published in various newspapers, as well. Another dream on her "bucket list" has been achieved in the co-authoring of this first book of fiction with her brother, Dr. Gregory Vincent Selby. She is an ordained minister and eventually plans to pursue a doctorate in theology. Maxcine cherishes being a loving wife to Rev. Robert Collier, Sr.; a caring mother to two adult sons, Robert "Bobby" and Damond; and a doting grandmother to grandson, Nahmir.
