I had always known that there was something special and magical inside me, but I had never sought answers. Why uncover the past, when I was happy with my foster family, my books and my job at the bookstore? However, fate had other plans for me and the arrival of Scarlett Leclerc, my twin sister, whose existence I did not suspect, had completely overwhelmed my life. Suddenly all those questions I had never had the courage to ask myself had been answered and... a family claiming me. Keeping my life in balance with that news had been complicated, but I had always managed, until my sister asked me to make an exchange: to live her life for a week in New York, while she went to France to discover the Leclerc magic that had been taken from us. I had accepted, thus realising a dream of mine. Everything was going well, until a student with blue eyes tinged with violet had threatened me: ”When you made fun of me, maybe you forgot that I could kill you at any moment.” What did that boy want from me? Why was he chasing me? Why was he acting like I was his girlfriend? Translator: LRizzi-Erneste PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Danny Teller is a UK national, and he was born in 1964. For most of his intrepid and industrious childhood, he lived in the UK before immigrating to Israel in the mid-1980s. In 2002 or nearly twenty years later, he left Israel and moved to America for a short and relaxing time. He subsequently moved from America to spend nearly six months teaching English in a small but very remote village in the southern part of Nepal between 2002 and 2003. By the spring of 2003, Danny decided to return to the UK, where he spent the next few years working in a new career for two large retail companies in Central London. In some of his free time, he projected considerable amounts of efforts in creative writing, online blogs, publishing and improving his overall knowledge of IT. During this time, he also made numerous but mainly pleasurable trips to the African, Asian, American, and European Continents respectively. Moreover, in recent times, such as in 2009, Danny has made another affluent move to the Peoples Democratic Republic of China. He is currently residing with his long-term companion Yvonne Wu, who, ever since the summer of 2014, became his Chinese wife. Danny is also the author of two other e-books, one of which was coauthored by Yvonne. The Eternity of Being a Global Explorer is only available as an e-book which was published in 2013; Full of Jewish Promise and Spiritual adventures, which was available in e-book format as well as in hard copy, was published in later part of 2015 or the early part of 2016.
