Secret Lovers (# 2) | by Rochelle Ragnarok Jan. 10, 2012 | 81 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I was born in Michigan in 1980 where I've lived a normal life, except for one thing. I love to write! I've always had an over active imagination and typically put a story to almost anything. I began when I was 12 years old writing little high school drama stories that became lost somewhere as the years progressed. In my late teens I wrote notebooks of poetry, three screenplays (Two of them Horror), and several short stories. Right now most of that stuff is buried in my closet, sadly never to see the light of day but I can't bear to throw it away! I've always had a knack for writing stories that were a little out there and when I discovered yaoi it was just one more thing that was shuffled into the mix. After years of debating, I've decided to throw myself into the world of writing and see what happens. I don't expect anything but to have my stories read and I can't wait to see what will happen next! |

In college I did a couple animated films for some independent film theaters, which was fun doing for awhile, but very time consuming. I’ve also tried publishing my own children’s books, graphic novels, and video games.†While he was taking graphic design classes in college, he started working and volunteering at the Templeton Unified School District. “It all started in high school, when I was invited to the Elementary and Middle schools to do drawing lessons with the children,†recalled Raymond. “Before I knew it, I found my self teaching fitness wheel, art, and other things to packs of children every week. I don’t know what happened!†Info about Raymond’s comic magazine series is in Comic Buyers Guide #1628, May 2007, next to Special Spiderman 3 article on Page 54. |

Kris Karton MD | by Dave McGee May 11, 2011 | 25735 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Though I trained for a musical career, I ended up as a drugs enforcement officer in the UK! So, I guess John Lennon was right when he said life's what happens when you're making a plan. I write in a variety of styles encompassing humour, gritty reality, and a generous portion of erotica. The stories are often, though not always GAY themed, and quite irreverend. Humour's a hard act to pull off but if you've enjoyed what you read I'd love to hear from you. www.david.mcgee@rocketmail.com |
