Teen Author Aims to Make Debut in Young Adult Fiction with Newest Novel

Feb 1, 2023

Austin, Texas Jan 31, 2023 (Issuewire.com) - Meet Taiya Collier, an eighteen-year-old author aiming to make an impact in the publishing industry with her upcoming young adult novel, The Breaks Between You and Me. The young adult romance follows 17-year-old Harper Cassidy as she copes with a return to her hometown after sudden tragedy strikes.

The Breaks Between You and Me blends romance and family drama in a captivating way that will leave readers wanting more. With its unique blend of suspense, adventure, and heartfelt emotion, this deeply moving story will pull at your heartstrings while encouraging you to believe in yourself no matter what life throws your way. The book launches February 1st worldwide on Amazon Kindle.

As a teen author, Collier hopes to craft legitimate stories of the teen experience and prompt young readers to question a large number of middle-aged authors. "The high demographic of older authors prompts the question: Who should be allowed access to be a writer? And how authentic are the stories that these authors write if they aren't coming from a teen's perspective?"

Collier hopes to inspire and motivate other teen writers to create work that accurately displays the modern generation of youth. She believes that young writers may feel discouraged by the idea that they can not provide the same high-quality content as the more seasoned writers can. However, Ms. Collier suggests letting go of this stigma and is pushing toward a future where age doesn't define talent. "I'm not trying to prove that I'm young and talented. I'm trying to show that age doesn't matter in writing. If you have a story to share, don't be afraid to let it out."

If you're looking for a novel that will have you on the edge of your seat with excitement while taking you on a rollercoaster of emotions, then The Breaks Between Me and You is perfect for you! Be sure to preorder your copy today from Amazon after it hits shelves February 1st!

Smarter Bathroom: Meet Moderno Home Depot’s MHD-4500 AI Smart Toilet

The modern bathroom is evolving beyond functionality, with smart technology bringing greater convenience, personalized comfort, and new possibilities for everyday living. Joining this shift is Moderno Home Depot’s MHD-4500 AI Smart Toilet. Introduced as the Philippines’ first app-controlled smart toilet, the unit combines smartphone connectivity, hygiene-focused functions, and wellness-inspired features in a contemporary design. At the heart of the MHD-4500 is its smartphone connectivity. Through the Moderno Smart Home app, available on the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, users can connect to the unit via Bluetooth and access its smart features directly from their phones. Voice control and a remote control system offer additional ways to operate the toilet, providing greater convenience and flexibility for everyday use. “As the Philippines’ fastest-growing smart toilet brand, Moderno Home Depot believes that innovation should make everyday living more convenient and comfortable. The MHD-4500 reflects our commitment to bringing smart technology into practical home solutions, giving Filipino homeowners more opportunities to experience the benefits of a connected home,” said Rovie Sanchez, co-owner of Moderno Home Depot. Beyond connectivity, the MHD-4500 places personal hygiene and comfort at the center of the bathroom experience. It features a self-cleaning nozzle, front and rear wash functions, bidet and hip wash options, adjustable nozzle positioning, and UV sterilization. These functions offer users more options for a personalized cleansing routine while incorporating additional hygiene features into an everyday essential. Comfort takes center stage through its heated seat, adjustable water temperature, and adjustable drying system. Multiple massage modes, including strong-soft and moving massage functions, provide further customization. Built-in aromatherapy, dynamic lighting, and a soft night light add a wellness-inspired dimension, while automatic lid opening and closing and a slow-closing seat ring bring added convenience to daily routines. These features are housed in a modern, elongated design crafted from premium ceramic. An LED display and integrated controls complement its contemporary appearance, allowing the unit to combine smart functionality with a clean, modern aesthetic. Practical considerations are also part of its design. The MHD-4500 uses a siphon-jet flushing system with automatic and manual flushing options, as well as a foot-sensor flush function. A built-in water tank and booster pump support its flushing system, while leakage protection and power-outage flushing provide additional functionality. For Jean Sanchez, co-owner of Moderno Home Depot, thoughtful home upgrades are about creating spaces that respond to people's everyday needs. “Creating a comfortable home goes beyond choosing beautiful fixtures. It is also about finding solutions that make everyday routines easier and more personal. With the MHD-4500, we want to encourage homeowners to look at the bathroom in a new way and discover how technology can bring added comfort and convenience to their daily lives,” she said. The product launch coincided with the opening of Moderno Home Depot’s newest showroom in Biñan City, Laguna, on Oct. 8, expanding the brand’s presence in South Luzon. The showroom offers homeowners, architects, and construction professionals another destination to explore modern bathroom fixtures and home solutions. With the MHD-4500, Moderno Home Depot brings connected technology into a space where comfort, hygiene, and functionality intersect every day. It offers homeowners a new way to think about bathroom upgrades — not simply as a matter of aesthetics, but as an opportunity to make everyday living more convenient and personalized.
