Leaving his home in England to stay with friends in the US while his parents are away on a dream vacation - for 2 - in Australia, almost 15 year old Frederick Squire is not a happy camper. That is until he meets Brittany. Struggling with the English language and his feelings for Brit, Fred is further confused when he meets Brit’s flirtatious friend, Angel. Escaping a confrontation with Steve Harris, the neighborhood bully, Brittany tells Fred her dark secret, and Fred’s world is turned upside down.
Life continues to throw young Frederick curveballs when he atually catches a base ball during a ball game that is worth a small fortune. Further run-ins with Steve Harris, a crazy family BBQ, and a chase through a mall all add to Fred’s American adventure. “Brit and her Brit”, know that their young love will be followed by heartache when Fred has to return to England. But not before some final twists in the tale.
With believable characters, exciting events, humor, first love, education and a little sport thrown in for good measure, Across the Pond, is a book for all ages from the young to the young at heart!

Tune in to hear new author, Niambi Brown Davis, talk about her romance novel, From Dusk to Dawn, and Virtual Book Tour with host, Marlive Harris!
May 13, 2008 edition of On The Air with Niambi Brown Davis [38:18m]: Hide Player | Play in Popup | Download
In From Dusk to Dawn, Ayo Montgomery’s and Bilal Salaam’s first meeting was as explosive as a lightning storm. The verbal showdown that erupted between them should have been the end of them; if they couldn’t manage a civil conversation with one another, how could they possibly fall in love? But they do fall in love deeply and completely. However, in fiction as in real life, the course of even the greatest love never runs smooth. Bilal and Ayo make it through the minefield of differences in age, faith and family opposition, only to face an unexpected challenge and the greatest threat to their future together. For one of them love means letting go, but for the other, it means holding on – against all odds.
