About this ebook
After some time Ayden began thinking having twin brothers wasn’t as great as he had imagined it would be. Now he was wishing he was an only child again. Twins were double trouble with a capital 'T'.
Normally Ayden had left school by this time and had never been around for this 12yr old, grade five bully – Josh Barnstead to antagonize. Ayden’s raised voice caused the twins to stop and observe the proceedings. Here was their 10yr old brother being picked on by a classmate twice his size. Ayden needed their help – but what could 7yr olds do? (G)

Trevi Formea
TREVI FORMEA is the pen-name of Jo-Anna Rose.She is an Australian 'Baby Boomer' raised in the southern suburbs of Brisbane, Queensland, and was born the youngest of four children (refer: A BABY BOOMER - At any age).In 1966, when 'Trevi' was 15, she won an essay competition which posed the question - 'What would you do if you were cast away on a deserted island with Elvis Presley?' The competition was organized through the then popular but now defunct magazine - EVERYBODY'S. The first prize for each state Australia wide - was a week for two, all expenses paid including air-fares, to beautiful Brampton Island Resort situated in tropical Queensland's Barrier Reef. Trevi was their youngest contestant and her essay impressed the sponsors and judges so much, that they 'awarded' her with a special 'junior' category equivalent prize. Trevi took her mum with her on the holiday.Trevi was raised a Catholic, but disillusioned after 33yrs, went searching for the truth in other religions, including Mormon and Pentecostal - finally becoming a Lutheran, to which she has remained to this day. Having had four weddings and a funeral, her third marriage in 1996, was the shortest lasting only 29mths (refer 'KUKLA MOU - The Little Greek Princess'). Trevi was suddenly widowed at 47 years old, with her two youngest daughters Renee 16 and Jackie 6 to raise. Her youngest Jackie, suffering from Asperger Syndrome (refer 'JACKIE PETER PAN').After relocating to Russell Island in Queensland's south-east corner in August 2002 with Jackie - then 9 yrs old and her 4th husband, Trevi took on the position of reporter with their local paper 'The Island Spirit'. Not only as their only ace reporter but managing advertising and their paper formatting. Trevi has also had miscellaneous poems and stories published through the island's 'Writer's Circle', as well as various short stories in other popular magazines including 'That's Life' in 2000.In March 2013, Trevi met a local couple (Dennis and Jeannie) who were new 'indie' authors/writers themselves, and together they introduced her to 'self-publishing' on e-readers, encouraging Trevi to publish her stories through smashwords.com. A whole new world for writing opened up, and Trevi became a die-hard fan of and contributor to, the delights of modern technology.The 'BLUE LABEL' series are mostly based on Trevi's own life experiences growing up and throughout her life. They can be either read as a 'Stand Alone' story, or as part of an ongoing expanded autobiography. The simplistic design of her cover serves as a visual aid for easier recognition for older readers. Trevi stayed single for 9yrs living an idyllic lifestyle on Russell Island, where she cruised the Pacific with Jackie at least once a year. Other members of their home included Burmilla cat 'Bobby' and 'Bella' - the wonder Labrador ref:- BOBBY MEETS BELLA - (yet to be published).On October 23rd 2016, a man from an internet dating site, sent Trevi a 'free kiss e-mail' and after exchanging multiple emails, texts and phone calls to each other, they finally met. They were instantly attracted to each other. In June 2017, Peter proposed to Trevi and eventually encouraged her to put her home on the market. After selling his townhouse in August 2018, Peter moved to Maryborough, Queensland, where they bought a large 80yr old 'Queenslander' house, desperately in need of attention and 2 kms west of the town's centre. Jackie & Trevi would visit Peter for a week at a time and after selling their home on the island in April 2021, Jackie and Trevi moved the last of their belongings off the island, travelling over 300kms north to Maryborough, a regional township, which was once the northern port for free settlers in what was then New South Wales. Before Queensland was separated from NSW in 1900 and called Queensland. Trevi's grandparents landed there from Ireland in the 1800's but that's another story - (ref A BABY BOOMER AT ANY AGE).On the 2nd February 2020, Trevi and Peter were married in the Chapel of Life across the road from their home by Elvis - AKA Trevor Turner (a personal friend & Elvis impersonator). They themed their wedding to the 50's era and invited their guests to dress accordingly and join in the fun. Jackie gave Trevi away dressed as BAD SANDY from Grease and the Bridal party arrived in a white1954 FJ Holden stretch limo. The groom and his men arrived in an old Black and White Holden taxi, complete with original fare meter. Their wedding was just before the Covid19 pandemic struck. Since then, they have been enjoying retirement whilst steadily restoring their 80yo home to her former glory, adding some modern touches without detracting from her original beauty. Not too bad an effort for a couple of septuagenarians.If you have enjoyed any of Trevi's e-book stories, please feel free to write a review. Thanks for reading.
