The manuscript Blue Lines is the fictional coming of age narrative of a young California woman Key Yemaya Walker, and her 2 year growing journey through school, love, and life period piece, written by Kenneth Suffern, Jr., taking place at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill between the years of 1997 – 1998. Loosely based on true events, and experiences during that time, told through the eyes and voice of the main female protagonist, a freshman first attending the school.

LONDON— Oscar-nominated actor Pete Postlethwaite, a craggy-faced British character actor described by director Steven Spielberg as “the best actor in the world,” has died at age 64 after a long battle with cancer. Friend and journalist Andrew Richardson said Monday that Postlethwaite died in a hospital Sunday. The actor was instantly recognizable for his unusually shaped face — with prominent cheekbones that gave him a lean, rugged look — and his intense eyes. He was not conventionally handsome like many film stars but had a powerful presence and authenticity on screen and on stage.
