Fling: A Short Story Collection	by M Koleosho Feb. 22, 2012	17839 words	Read a sample
Author bio: As a kid my imagination was molded by the likes of Enid Blyton and the heroes of Marvel and DC Comics. Fast forward to modern day, and it seems those books and characters had a stronger grip on me than I initially thought. Writing gives me the ability to delve into characters and worlds that would typically be closed off to me in my normal life. An Avid sports fan and music aficionado. I tend to gravitate towards anything that involves creativity. Of late photography seems to have piqued my interest also.

For some reason it won't let me add my blog, but it can be found on the website. Thanks!

Author bio: I write about people, their relationships and the dynamics within. I feature my work on website conversantwoman.com I enjoy illustrating the wide range of emotions experienced in life by people of both genders and the permutations of social and personal cultural influences. I like to reach out and to make contact with readers walking beside them and not leaving them before I have evoked within them thought provoking emotions strung between tragedy and joy. I am a person touched by the irony of life and human frailty. Writing is as much a need for me as a want. I find myself traversing internalised continents exploring the complexities of life. Sometimes I have experienced life to be hard hitting, startling and scary which is true for so many people. I love my family and enjoy reading, gardening, painting and travelling.

Secret Admirer	by Matthew Stephens Jan. 26, 2012	2756 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I'm an avid reader and love to write. I am married with two boys and reside in Minnesota. Some of my favorite authors are Stephen King,Dean Koontz, James Patterson, Peter Straub, Suzanne Collins, J.K. Rowling, Thomas Harris, Dan Brown, Cormac McCarthy, My new favorite- Bentley Little, and many many more. I'm willing to read any author who has a great idea and is able to express his ideas in a way I can relate(at least with the characters) and understand clearly. I revise constanly and still don't end up satified, but i guess that is something that will come in time, hopefully. I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I enjoy writing them. I am currently working on a novel, but I will try to upload new short stories from time to time, mostly free to read. I believe if I'm going to charge anything it should be at least 4,000 words or more. A lot of the stories I post are old and had been written years ago, but I think they still have good potential (After endless revising and I know they're still not perfect). Thanks for your time. Matt

Wild Duck revisited	by John Fajo Jan. 12, 2012	27496 words	Read a sample
Author bio: The author has written since the age of 8, has received formal education in biochemistry (MD), mathematics (PhD) and law (MD). His main interest in writing is connected to emotions, thinking processes and social conflicts from a somewhat biased point of view, many times contrary to the established line of thinking and sometimes provoking. The book 'Wild Duck revisited' was greatly inspired by a ten-year stay in Bergen(Norway) that included high school classes and university courses,and a short time spent at Fantoft Studentby (a student hostel), the ugliest building complex in named city, where all kinds of nationalities could be met. Many passages of the book are conversations that actually took place there. The author had moved to the south since then. In recent years, the author has been co leader of a contemporary modern art gallery profiling the interconnection of art, science and technology. John Fajo is the author's penname, after his grandfather, anglicized. For correspondence write to johnfajo@zoho.com .

I feature my work on website conversantwoman.com I enjoy illustrating the wide range of emotions experienced in life by people of both genders and the permutations of social and personal cultural influences. I like to reach out and to make contact with readers walking beside them and not leaving them before I have evoked within them thought provoking emotions strung between tragedy and joy. I am a person touched by the irony of life and human frailty. Writing is as much a need for me as a want. I find myself traversing internalised continents exploring the complexities of life. Sometimes I have experienced life to be hard hitting, startling and scary which is true for so many people. I love my family and enjoy reading, gardening, painting and travelling.
In Your Dreams: A Stage Play in One Act	by Steven Ayckbourn Dec. 30, 2011	4540 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Someone recently asked me what my greatest dreams are as an author I'd like to see happen? I've reached a point in my career (life) where whatever I do I try to do for enjoyment (as in personal fulfilment). Mostly this continues to remain an aspiration, but when one does touch that place it is special. I'd like to think the efforts I make are reflected not only in my role as an author, but the values I bring to living. So what would I like to see happen? To pass this sense of enjoyment to others, so they might experience it - preferably through my writing. ***** Further information can be found by visiting my Web site (see link below).
