Morgan Rodgers writes his third book in four years.
Morgan Rodgers, mild-mannered Recreation and Parks Administrator by day, is a locally celebrated author by night. Much to the delight of Roswell citizens, Rodgers has written his third book in the past four years. Past Sins is the sequel to his last novel, "Timing…the Key to Life."

Second grade teacher Nadia Porcelli-Munisteri has used her experiences in the classroom and at schools to write a book for young children to teach them what bullying is.
As a teacher for the past 10 years, Nadia Porcelli-Munisteri has seen bullying firsthand. So the Milton resident wrote a book for children in K-2. She's seen kids just being kids who are immediately labeled as bullies, and wants children to understand what bullying is so they know when to seek help. "It's at their level, so that they can clearly comprehend what a real definition of bullying is,' the Milton resident said. The book includes examples of what children face daily at school.
