You see, Napoleon was my master. Gigi's mistress, Madame Josephine, was the love of Napoleon's life. "Napoleon's pere wanted Napoleon's dream of becoming a soldier to come true. So, Gigi, his pere went to the French governor of Corsica and asked him for a scholarship for Napoleon. "Napoleon worked so hard, Gigi. I stayed by his side late into the night. Some nights he only slept maybe four hours! Other nights he would wake up and go back to work. He worked hard like that his entire life!" He was a desperate man. He left behind at Waterloo his beautiful military carriage. Napoleon was now a hunted man! His family left Paris and went into exile after Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo!" explained Pierre. "It took us seventy days to reach St. Helena, Gigi. The English sailors on the ship grew to like Napoleon on our long voyage. He talked to them often about the times in Egypt and Russia. He was their prisoner, but he became their friend!

A Tale of Cleopatra

By: LL Eadie

Once upon a time there lived a little princess named Cleopatra. She lived long long ago in Egypt, a far-off land in Africa. Cleopatra grew up to become the last and most famous queen of Egypt. "... Cleopatra, girls don't go to school. Girls learn how to dance and put on make-up," barked Podenco, the king's other greyhound. "Both of you are wrong! I will go to the museum and learn about literature, medicine, the arts, science, languages, and philosophy from the best teachers in the world!" exclaimed the excited Cleopatra.

My Mistaken Identity: Enhanced and Revised

By: LL Eadie

Tuesday is a beautiful, talented and obedient child star, ordered around by her bipolar stage mother, Constance, and her agent, Uncle Monty. The two adults are Tuesday’s entire, lonely, rule-filled world until the singer meets Zelda—the daughter of Tuesday’s housekeeper and a fellow teenager—who plots to show Tuesday a good time. Horrified by Tuesday’s sheltered and puritanical life, Zelda compels her to re-examine the way her mother pushes her around, spending her daughter’s money and not allowing her any freedom. The two grow close as Tuesday recognizes how isolated she has become, having only her song lyrics for solace. Under Zelda’s influence, Tuesday begins to fight back, demanding to change her image from a clean-cut role model for tweens to an edgy rocker who sings about harsh, personal conflicts. As Constance plans for Tuesday to sing a new, wholesome song at a prom, Zelda becomes even more important as a supportive friend who encourages the young star to think for herself. The singer then meets Brady Paul, a good-looking boy at the high school where she will be performing, and she realizes that, with Zelda by her side, she can discover all kinds of new ways to get what she wants. Written in a light, easy style, Tuesday’s story of emotional emancipation is one that any teenager can appreciate. Eadie’s work stands out from the usual teen novel: It doesn’t glamorize Tuesday’s celebrity life but highlights the loneliness it brings. The protagonist is a well-drawn, likable heroine whose impossible home life makes her sympathetic.

Life of Rileigh

By: LL Eadie

I was born a bastard at a county hospital. When most girls of sixteen were getting their driver licenses my mother was getting herself a baby. As a child I spent a lot of time in an orphanage called the Margaret Lloyd Stansel’s Children’s Asylum. My mother preferred to call it a boarding school or summer camp depending upon the time of year I was visiting. Most every child who lived there had a parent, a grandparent, an aunt, uncle, or some other family member – somewhere or other. Including me. I don’t blame my mother though – she had herself a hard-knock life, too. Let me explain, when I was born in 1954, things were different. Unwed mothers were treated in a spiteful manner – including being excluded from social settings, and even family circles. I guess I should count my blessings that my mother tried her best to raise me. I’m sure my life is different from yours. There are not many orphanages operating today. Well, the long and the short of it is – that this is my story – about when things were a wee bit different. My name is Rileigh Ophelia Horton, I think. This was my life – The Life of Rileigh

Yearning for the Unattainable

Y.F.T.U.

By: L.L. Eadie

Yearning for the Unattainable By: L.L. Eadie Eadie’s gift for understanding the adolescent heart is on full display … in this delicious witch’s brew of southern gothic, paranormal romance and realistic contemporary. The town of Wiregrass is a character in itself with its whispers, horrors and secrets. And at the heart of it all is Gentry, the newcomer, who innocently looks for love, but instead is drawn into a portal that nearly takes her life. -Joyce Sweeney on Yearning for the Unattainable Eadie’s work stands out from the usual teen novel. Written in a light, easy style Tuesday’s story of emotional emancipation is one that any teenager can appreciate. -Kirkus Reviews on Mistaken Identity A love story mixed with tragedy and humor. Secrets and broken promises from the author’s youth (and from all teenagers’ lives) prompted Eadie to write this story. She hopes her readers will see themselves in her characters and be able to feel their emotions—recognize them—relate to them—laugh and cry with them.

Jenniferology

By: LL Eadie

Fifteen-year-old Jennifer Brice Hamilton has been subjected to her mother’s new way of life ever since her parents’ divorce two years earlier - a move to a lower tax bracket in Chicago, an undesirable school, and her mother’s newest boyfriend: Phil. Jennifer rebels. Her mother’s answer to the “handful-slash-Jennifer” is to pack her up and send her to her grandma’s, whom Jennifer has not seen in almost three years. Her mother’s lusty plan is for Jennifer to reside there 'til Christmas. Jennifer captures her life in Flamingo Junction, Florida, with her grandmother in an ongoing diary of sorts - a sketchbook that she has titled Jenniferology - The Study of Jennifer. Jennifer’s grandmother, Mama Rudeen, lives in a retirement community called Camelot in North Florida. Mama Rudeen is not what Jennifer expected, nor are her grandmother’s friends - the gals: Miss Maggie Pearl, Miss Addie, and Miss Gaynell...and the guy - Sir Stuckie. Jennifer envisioned octogenarians sitting around waiting to take their last breath. She discovers that retirees have a zest for life. And, more importantly, they define to Jennifer what unconditional love truly means. Maybe it takes a retirement village to raise a child.

Pedro Menendez: The Adelantado of Florida

By: LL Eadie

Pedro Menendez sailed to Florida on his flagship, the San Pelayo, named after a knight who had successfully defeated the Spanish Moors 850 years earlier. There were twenty cabin boys on board the San Pelayo.Ship boys or cabin boys were from ages eleven to thirteen. Many boys were from poor families who could neither clothe nor feed them. They were servants to the officers and worked long hours, often doing the necessary dirty work onboard the ships.This courageous story is told through the eyes of one such fictitious cabin boy named Rocco that would witness the first Thanksgiving on September 8, 1565. This historic event would take place 42 years before Jamestown was settled and 55 years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock. Today a 208’ cross marks the spot where the landing happened. Rocco would also follow Menendez on his voyage to chart Florida’s coastline, destroy the French fort in Florida, evangelize the Florida Indians, and colonize Florida in the name of the King of Spain – King Philip II. Menendez was also searching for his missing son Juan. His son’s fleet of thirteen ships scattered in a storm off the coast of Florida five years earlier. Only eight ships returned to Spain.All of this true tale is told through the eyes of a child but backed up with historical notes, character reference guide, a timeline, nautical terminology, and a bibliography.
