^Huh, you can see the goofy jaw there, I guess Glo cleans up good when someone photoshops her competently (in the other pic on her site).

Also is she using 3 year old images to promote herself, or is she just reusing the same cheap bikinis in shoots?

Gloria (or Marina) has a history of reusing and manipulating images. Remember the time she photoshopped herself in front of a mansion?
 
So basically because their kid showed a slight amount of interest in an art Mommy and Daddy Scam-A--Lot tried to build a franchise around ol' Glo. Nevermind like any art writing, and especially epic fiction that's supposed to include an intricate plot and a large cast of characters, takes years of practice and genuine skill. I'm sorry, no one just shits out a great novel despite how it's commonly protrayed.

In the late 90's - early 2000s there seemed to be this craze for wunderkind authors. It started with Amelia Attwater-Rhodes, Paolini, and that one chick whose male love interest is named "Patches". All basically wrote what we see here: those first baby steps in novel writing that should never be seen by the public. You're supposed to keep these stories in a trunk, not publish them in some bizarre effort to attract young readers.

So this is how one of those stories played out. Gotta say, it's probably the saddest result.

If Gloria was able to take criticism and worked on making her manuscript readable, or if her parents were willing to churn out money for a reputable editor, I think she would have been better off.

Even now, if she were to take on a new pen name she could start all over again and make a worthy manuscript that could peak some interest from publishers.

But this is just under the assumption that she actually wants to be a writer. She wants to have written.

To be frank, you should never go into writing a novel with the expectation that you'll be a best seller. While it's a dream many novice writers have, don't count on it and you'll remain sane while writing.

Edit: Also, their website is still claiming to be producing Maradonia with a 2019 release date and directed by Edison Carter. They also go by Wardour Street Productions and their contact is Michael Diller.

I saw that too. I did some more digging on EC. Some guy wrote on Reddit
"Makes me miss working on VFX and 3D modeling. Quit it in 2012 after being scammed by a guy for a couple months in LA where I spent all my money on food and travel after being told I'd be paid for several projects. He disappeared until recently.
I had started in Bryce 5, Lightwave, and Maya student edition in high school and then moved into some Maya and 3DS Max, before ending up on C4D (company I worked for had it so I learned it).
For the record, guy went by Caesar Collazo, Collazo Versace, and most recently Edison Carter. Avoid him like the plague!"

First of all, who TF goes by the name of Ceasar Collazo and Collazo Versace, really? WTF.
It looks like this Edison Carter is the same scam artist who was supposedly involved with universal studios.

I haven't read all six of her books (nor will I ever have the time to) but from the first it seems like, at that point, she genuinely liked writing. You can tell when an author cares about their characters and plot, even an amateur one. But I wonder if later on Mommy and Daddy forced daily word counts on her which was why she was so prolific. They may have killed her joy her writing. Which is very sad to me as an artistic person.

But then again she may have realized 99.9% of authors make below a living wage from writing alone and even a best-seller is not a meal ticket for life. (You gotta have a series of them.) So she turned to the skill she learned from her parents; scamming.

Yeah it's pretty sad that her passion for writing has most likely been killed before she had a chance to master the craft
 
Tragic, that. If she had honed her writing craft in private she wouldn't have to sell her looks to get by now.

Whether Tesches seniors would've let her do that is another story.

Gerry hangs out with other conmen, as expected. I believe that he rips people off. We know Gerry didn't pay a lot of actors and crew. I have no idea if the personal allegations are true, but scumbag behavior generally goes together in business and personal life. We know Gerry was convicted of domestic violence.

I'm sure everyone involved in the production of the original Maradonia or the attempted remake was a fraud or a victim of fraud.

Edit: Gloria's new pic.

Here's a pretty amusing and telling log showing Gloria's self-promotion on Answers.com. She first poses a question that she answers herself and when other users correct her, she starts to move the goal posts to qualify her as the "real" youngest author in human history. The decorum in the answers on everyone else's side break down enough that they actually address her directly.

That's some vintage Tesch. She doesn't even care about Maradonia anymore. Now she's trying to sell bikinis.
 
If she's trying to promote her stuff by doing the instagram thot thing, she should mention her husband less. Writing "my hubby" is the fastest way to make her thirsty male followers lose their boners.

^that's a repost too right? I swear I've seen this before.
Also >me to alexsrcn
World's youngest published author everybody!

Also is it me or does the photo below of them look a little weird? I'm no expert in photoshop so I can't tell, but are they actually there? Or have they cut themselves out and put them in a vineyard? Shouldn't we be able to see the sun from the angle of the shadows?
