Sir Charles Cary

Picturehttp://about.me/sircharlescary
Sir Charles Cary is a two time cancer survivor and a full time life encourager!  His collection of poetry entitled Poetic Xpressions inspires with real life experiences and gets to the core of personal relationships- the good, the bad, and the indifferent. 

Charles has trained for government agencies, spoken for non-profits and small business owners.  He takes his gifts seriously, while having fun with them.  As a vocalist, he has performed many cover songs for various occasions and has four music CD’s to his credit.  He’s currently promoting his second book Courage Facing Mortality while working on his third book project.


Drica Armstrong

Drica Armstrong was born and raised in Elizabeth, NJ. She never thought of becoming an author because she wanted to be a lawyer. A homework assignment given to her by an English teacher sparked her interest in writing. While attending high school, Drica wrote several short stories and poetry.  She began writing her first novel, Beautiful Liars, during her first year of college and  self-published in 2009. Soon after the release of her new novel, Drica finished her second novel, Hide and Seek. It is the first book to be published on Drica’s self publishing company Double Take Publications in 2011. Drica is currently working on the screenplay for Hide and Seek and completing her third novel. Drica lives in Elizabeth, NJ with her son.
