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.

This book takes place in the future 2202. Sybille felt the burning ache of the concrete plank under her bare heels. It now was the one year anniversary of flirting across the subway car. She could only focus on what couldn't be.She wanted to talk to her reflection and ask if the other girl felt trapped. Her mother taught her from a small child to be good as the government was. Beatrice was concerned that Frank would be shocked by Sybille's appearance and call security. Sybille found a book in the wall it was written by Blair. She has no idea if Blair is a boy or a girl. She had a dream and he appeared to her as a large winged creature with the body of a man, she could feel the heat of his body over her as he spoke softly to her. He was at least 10 feet tall, and with his wings open, his shadow cast darkness over the expanse of the bedroom.The wings seemed like massive exterior muscles coated in silken ivory feathers. Most humans struggle with the concept of god, miracles and people we call saints or martyrs. These special individuals live their earthly lives in self sacrifice for god. Religious wars once persisted in the economy, the workplace, marriages, families, and designated battle fields.Marturing brains found evil meanings in good deception in postives, hidden meanings, something lurking between the lines. While good exists. What is sin?
Sybille is seventeen years old, she longed for her childhood years, helped the fabric council develop the new jumper suits material from retired garments. Blair wrote a book to Sybille, hostel counselor. Beatrice Sybille's neighbor, lost husband eleven years ago, enforcement officials. Frank lives with Beatrice, was Beatrice's husband's brother, enforcement official. Eston Cole is Thirty years old, physically fit, Region 78 royalty. Crystal is Sybille's Cohab, worked with Sybille, and she met Jewel. Jewel needs Crystal. Zahndra Sybille's new cohab, she also took Crystal's job.
This book is different from what I'm used to reading. I have to say though that I loved it! This is my first book by E.W. Skinner. This will definitely will not be my last. I loved E.W. Skinner style of writing. I loved that all the characters were very well developed. I highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone!!
Emily had a goal when she was 15, she would have a daughter named Marquel and write a novel titled "Marquel." She accomplished both and more.
A member of The International Thriller Writers, Emily was a protege of the late master of the pulps or paperback originals, Harry Whittington. Emily 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 "Marquel" shortly before he died in 1989.
After Whittington passed away, Emily 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/20...
Fast forward, a second daughter, Blair is born and Emily and husband Tom focus on raising their family. Both daughters are now grown and work in Hollywood. So this might be an example of art imitating life or the reverse?
A devoted Catholic, Emily is rekindling her love for writing and has just completed the movie script for "Marquel" and a young adult paranormal appropriately named after her youngest child, "St. Blair: Children of the Night." She will begin the sequel to "Marquel" in the coming months, currently untitled.
When Emily isn't working as a marketing consultant or writing, she enjoys antiquing/thrifting and producing short films. Emily is the proud Executive Producer of Blair Skinner's film "Relative Eternity," a 2012 LA Shorts Film Festival selection, Sunscreen Film Festival selection and Short Film Corner Festival de Cannes selection. Written, directed and edited by Blair Skinner, "Relative Eternity" is on snagfilms.com for your viewing pleasure. It is free to view.
