When I decided to put this family history together I was only intending to compile some facts and figures. I was bored after foot surgery and began looking on Ancestry. I was surprised at some of the stuff I found and thought others might find it interesting so I figured I'd make it into a book to make it easier for those interested to find the information. As I looked deeper and deeper into the family though, I began to want to know who these people behind the names and dates were. As I got to the timeframe when pictures started appearing I would look into the eyes of those distant relatives and wonder what they were thinking. Were they good people? Did they enjoy life? Did they spoil their kids? While the first four books I put together were direct lines, I did find some other really interesting individuals while I was doing research and thought others might be interested in knowing them too so I put this book together of "Notables". Take a look through the book and learn a little about these extended members of the family. I'm sure you will find individuals that you find fascinating. Little tidbits that will surprise you. Maybe even some that will encourage you to do your own research. One thing I am confident of is that you will find a family you will be proud to be a part of.

Illuminatista: Homo Sapiens, is another dynamite from controversial authors Juliette Williams and Dr. Julie Williams, bringing you The (amazing) Wisdom of Dr. Julie Williams In Over 1,234 Crazy Statements, and edited by their favorite editor, Marie Guillaumes, who is most likely as stubborn and avant-garde as this mother and daughter tag-team duo. It is a must-read for any truly open-minded radical thinker. You may have proudly told yourself several times that you're open-minded, a free-thinker, and that you think outside the box. Well then, this book (including the other books in the Illuminatista series) is a true test of that claim. Gauge yourself and see if you'd shrug or cringe or agree or disagree as you read the outright, challenging and mind-boggling writings of these wise-acres. Think you've seen it all? Not yet, until you've at least perused this book and their other books so far -- Illuminatista: God 2.0 and Illuminatista: Mind Alchemy -- as they are nothing like you've ever read before. In Illuminatista: Homo Sapiens, you'll see a mixture of bold, blunt, anti, gloomy, ironic, funny and sweet statements like: "Moms are awesome " "Life may glitter, but it is definitely not gold." "No matter how much of an angel you are, there are people who'd think you're the devil or a fool." "People insist on you telling the truth, but they actually don't wanna hear the truth." "Some people crave to drink your blood for breakfast, eat your flesh for lunch, and nibble on your bones for dinner; don't let them; run " "We're all like spaghetti thrown at the wall of life; a few of us stick, most of us don't, and some of us don't even make it to the wall." "So many lonely men, so many lonely women, what a shameful waste of life and people." "It's so easy to make angels smile - just smile." "When you ignore your spouse, or become insensitive, bad things unavoidably begin to happen." "With every tick of the clock, your time on earth ticks away." "Despite the pain of child-birth, women can't wait to bring forth life into our planet; what a commendable courage " "Everybody is wearing a mask; the question is: What, or Who, would you find behind the mask?" "We are all prisoners with invisible prison-walls." "The way of humans, like animals, is to take whatever they can, whenever they can, wherever they can, however they can, and from whomever they can." "Rules are for those who are not part of the inner-circle of giants that make the rules." "When you're young you feel immortal; When you're old you realize you're so mortal." "Anyone who does not expect surprises from humans has not had anything to do with them." "As long as there's money to be made from war selling guns and ammunition, etc., there'll never be an end to war." "Why on earth would a dentist have a bad tooth?" "While the rich do business talk, the poor do small-talk." Yep I honestly thought I was the crazy one; Juliette and Julie Williams are definitely crazier I surrender, gladly. -- Rica Mira.
INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER For fans of Bunny and Yellowface, this razor-sharp debut thriller blends biting satire with chilling suspense, as a young woman steps into her deceased twin's influencer life--only to discover dark secrets hidden behind her social media fa ade. Julie Chan has nothing. Her twin sister has everything--except a pulse. Julie Chan, a supermarket cashier barely scraping by, finds herself thrust into the glamorous yet perilous world of her late twin sister, Chloe VanHuusen, a popular influencer. Separated at a young age, the identical twins were polar opposites and rarely spoke, except for one viral video that Chloe initiated (Finding My Long-Lost Twin And Buying Her A House #EMOTIONAL). When Julie discovers Chloe's body, she doesn't call the police. Instead, she slips into her dead sister's meticulously curated life: luxury fashion, high-end skincare, and a devoted online following who never noticed they weren't quite the same. At first, the transformation is seamless. Julie relishes the perks of influencer fame, but quickly learns that behind Chloe's flawless feed lay secrets far darker than she imagined. Her sister's final days were shadowed by paranoia, manipulation, and something far more sinister. Now, trapped on a private island retreat with Chloe's inner circle--an elite clique of influencers obsessed with status and secrecy--Julie is forced to keep up the act while being haunted by her sister's untimely death. As events spiral out of control, Julie uncovers the sinister forces that may have led to her sister's demise and realizes she might be the next target. Darkly funny, fiercely paced, and full of sharp commentary on identity, fame, and the cost of visibility, Julie Chan Is Dead is a twisted thrill ride where fitting in could be fatal--and the people behind the posts are the real danger.
