Book Description
The Unfolded Romance: Missing Ink" is a teenage romance novel that follows the story of 17-year-old Bear Sawyer. Despite his difficult upbringing with a bipolar father and being left by his mother at a young age, Bear finds solace in writing. However, his weight and financial status make him a target for bullies at school. Everything changes when he meets Erica Black, a new student who also shares a love for writing. Erica, who has cerebral palsy and lost her twin brother to gang violence, has also endured a tough life with her single mother. As they bond over their shared passion, Bear and Erica fall in love and finally find the happiness they have been missing in their lives. As an 18-year-old author, Tylia Flores wrote "The Untold Romance: Missing Ink" with the hope of inspiring readers to pursue their passions, despite the challenges they may face. Through her writing, she also aims to shed light on the fact that love knows no boundaries, even for those with disabilities. Flores wants to spread the message that everyone deserves love and is capable of finding it, no matter their circumstances. Her book serves as a reminder to never give up on love and to never let anything hold you back from following your heart. I’ve attached how I wouldn’t want my characters to look like, or if you could find something similar to this that would be great.

Featuring Contributions by: Stephen Herczeg, Margaret Walsh, Paul D. Gilbert, Will Murray, David MacGregor, Barry Clay, Mike Chinn, Tim Newton Anderson, Ember Pepper (2 stories), Martin Daley, Arthur Hall, Naching T. Kassa, David Marcum, Adrian Middleton, and a poem by Kevin Patrick McCann. 53 New Traditional Canonical Holmes Adventures Collected in Three Companion Volumes Throughout the original Holmes Canon, there were hints and teases of other intriguing cases - The Tarleton Murders . . . The Grice-Paterson Curse . . . The Abernetty Tragedy. Watson mentions over one-hundred-and-twenty of these, which have collectively come to be known as The Untold Cases. Now, once again MX Publishing brings us fifty-three of these adventures in three simultaneously published volumes, with all royalties going to support the Undershaw school for special needs children, located at one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's former homes. "Somewhere in the vaults of the bank of Cox and Co., at Charing Cross, there is a travel-worn and battered tin dispatch box with my name, John H. Watson, M.D., Late Indian Army, painted upon the lid. It is crammed with papers, nearly all of which are records of cases to illustrate the curious problems which Mr. Sherlock Holmes had at various times to examine . . . ." - Dr. John H. Watson So wrote Dr. Watson in "The Problem of Thor Bridge" - and ever since, Sherlockians have been seeking to know more about these tales from the legendary Tin Dispatch Box. While Watson's original Literary Agent only edited the pitifully few sixty stories that make up the original Canon, there have since been literally thousands of traditional adventures about the true Sherlock Holmes - and yet there will never be enough! In 2018, MX Publishing presented Parts XI and XII of this acclaimed and ongoing series, Some Untold Cases, and then in 2020, Parts XXII, XXIII, and XXIV returned to that theme with Some More Untold Cases. Now that concept is revisited with more Sherlock Holmes adventures that further explore those many tantalizing references to some of Holmes's other Untold Cases, as mentioned in The Canon. Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as "the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known."
