title: Black Water Tales: The Secret Keepers (Volume 1)
author:  JeanNicole Rivers 
description: I was born in the tiny, but lovable town of Centralia, IL which has a two screen movie theater, one high school and still celebrates May Fete, so I had no choice, but to develop a fantastic imagination. Since childhood I have been writing everything from short stories to songs, but I have always aspired to compose a novel. Black Water Tales: The Secret Keepers is my first novel and the first book in what will be a series of thriller novels. Meeting diverse and interesting people are exciting to me and as a result I have taken to writing executive biographies in my spare time. Philosophy was my study in college and I received a Bachelor of Arts in the subject from Florida International University. Writing is one of my most favored artistic pursuits, but my love for the arts does not stop there, I am also a vocalist and actress and participate in local theater in Houston, Texas.
