BOOK ONE: THE NEVER DAWNREVIEW: "I devoured this book. Designed as fiction for Young Adults, the author has layered elements of dystopian futures reminiscent of 1984 and a Brave New World with punchy descriptions and believable characterisation that will intrigue readers of all ages. I read a lot of books and second guess a lot of them. I just didn't see that ending coming at all. I have just begun the sequel, and I only hope that if lives up to the first. Thanks to the author for an excellent diversion!" Holly J Goodall, UKDESCRIPTION: All his young life, Noah has longed to see the sky he's only heard about in stories.

Unfortunately for Lucy, nothing ever seems to go as she plans. Because although Lucy dreamed that Blair would be her first kiss, it seems like someone else might beat him to it!

The ideal L.A. fairy tale for fans of Once Upon a Time and L.A. Candy, from the author of Geek Charming.Prom fever has infected LA—especially Cindy’s two annoying stepsisters, and her overly Botoxed stepmother. Cindy seems to be the only one immune to it all. But her anti-prom letter in the school newspaper does more to turn Cindy into Queen of the Freaks than close the gap between the popular kids and the rest of the students. Everyone thinks she’s committed social suicide, except for her two best friends, the yoga goddess India and John Hughes–worshipping Malcolm, and shockingly, the most popular senior at Castle Heights High and Cindy’s crush, Adam Silver. Suddenly Cindy starts to think that maybe her social life could have a happily ever after. But there’s still the rest of the school to deal with. With a little bit of help from an unexpected source and a fabulous pair of heels, Cindy realizes that she still has a chance at a happily ever after.

What does it mean that judges are state actors? It means that the constitution applies to them and what they are doing to you. Many state judges have excused their illegal actions by claiming that custody suits are civil suits between private parties and therefore there is no state action to be limited. This is a Big Fat Lie! The United States Supreme court definitively stated in 1948 that judges in purely civil cases, even where there are no state statutes being enforced, are state actors limited by the Fourteenth Amendment. This means that the United States Constitution undeniably applies in your child custody dispute and your state judge is duty bound to protect your constitutional rights whether they like it or not.Federal courts have held state court judges to be state actors for 134 years in many different situations. However, one Texas Appellate Court wrote an opinion finding that a father had no constitutional right to the custody and care of his children because he improperly presumed there was state action in his case. The appellate court said there was no legal basis for the father’s presumption of state action and that his argument was wholly without merit. In the court’s own words, “There has been no ‘state action’ in this case; rather, this was a private suit between two individuals concerning issues of divorce and child custody.” This made me so mad I decided to slap this court around a bit and expose publicly the Lies That Family Courts Tell. State judges have no problem picking on parents, so I felt it was time that parents have someone standing up for them.If you want to witness a state appellate court being schooled by a parent and get what you need to school your own judge, then you need to read this book!
