Russell Beck

Russell Beck grew up in Indianapolis Indiana. He played football at the University of Buffalo on a scholarship and wrote a column for the school newspaper titled, the Athletic Supporter. It was more humor than highlights, à la Dave Barry.

He writes with grit, grace, and a sharp eye for the moments that shape us. His memoirs explore family, history, and the quiet resilience of everyday life, funny, raw, and rooted in lived experience. His stories span hitchhiking misadventures, tropical detours, and Midwestern coming-of-age moments, told with the kind of dry wit and honest reflection that fans of Jean Shepherd and John R. Powers will recognize instantly.

Beck invites readers into a world where mistakes matter, memories bite, and every page fee

Sybrina Durant

Hi:

I am the author of many different types of books. Some are technical and others are fanciful. Illustrated books are my favorite. I believe that you can capture a reader’s attention with a good story but amazing artwork will reel them in and keep them riveted.

Check out my newest series titled Magical Elements of the Periodic Table. Books are presented by unicorns, dragons and wizards. It's Techno-Magical.

Boo's Shoes is my last rabbit and fox book and it is a companion to Cleo Can Tie A Bow! Make sure to put it on your bookshelf so that you'll have it handy when you know someone who wants to learn to tie their shoelaces or any other kind of bow.

Journey To Osm - The Blue Unicorn's Tale is my first full-length novel. Please look for it on

My favorite hobby is gardening, whether it is edible or decorative. In my opinion one can never have too many flowers! I may have a slight addiction to creating things in Procreate and Canva.

Her poetry was published in one book of poetry when she was thirteen years old, and from that moment, she knew she wanted to fulfill her dream of becoming a succe
