Tonight's special guest is Natorya Nicole from Ocala, Florida, the oldest of five, She's always done her best to be a good older sibling and is the guardian of her youngest brother. Natorya is the author of a kids' book, "EJ and Sis," that examines this experience, and deals with communication and healthy discipline. Directed to 8yrs old / under, this is "‘A story about a kid misbehaving on the playground, needing to be sent to time out and the lessons his older sister is teaching him." Adults may be able to gain from the messages as well. Natorya lived in Palm Beach County for about 10yrs until early 2013. The oldest of five, she has always done her best to be a good older sibling. "EJ and Sis," the first of several, is loosely based on her relationship raising her youngest brother. "I enjoy spending time with my little brother, Jay," she says. "Because I spend so much time with him, I wrote a series. All the ideas come either from him or through him. I was just smart enough to see and listen and creative enough to write the words." Natorya is also the writer of four unproduced full length original screenplays (3 drama-romance / 1 teen-family drama), which she's looking forward to working on again in the near future. "In the past, I have worked in 2 youth shelters. 1 in my hometown (Ocala) and 1 in my 2nd hometown (West Palm Beach). I've worked around the youth most of my adult life."
