Helium3 | by Nick Travers May 16, 2008 | 22387 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Nick wanted to be that mystical figure, an author, from almost the very first book he read. As a child his mind constantly buzzed with characters and adventures, fed by an insatiable appetite for stories. Unfortunately, a childhood tramping the wilds of Dartmoor (in the UK), the joys of playing jazz trombone, and generally having a blast, left little time for serious writing as he grew up. Later, an education in science and the demands of holding down a career again pushed writing to one side. Then he hit forty, and realised his imagination had never grown up. Finally, with a second-hand laptop off e-bay Nick embarked on the second most thrilling adventure of his life: writing a novel. Nick has migrated north since his childhood, swapping the wilds of Dartmoor for the tranquility of the New Forrest (Hampshire, UK). He is enjoying the adventure of having a family (the greatest adventure of his life)with three lively daughters, who all enjoy reading as much as he does. In addition to writing, Nick lists his hobbies as gardening (the variety that employs a large pair of choppers and requires him to sit around admiring the view), swimming (because it frees his mind and releases his imagination), juggling (because he can), and one day he would like to learn to play the piano (because the trombone really isn’t a solo instrument). Visit Nick's blog at www.NickTravers.com to catch up on current activity, articles about writing, and discount codes for his books. |

John Smith, World Jumper Book One: Portal to Adventure, Part One | by E. Patrick Dorris Nov. 04, 2008 | 6832 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: In my forty something years I have generated a very broad set of experiences and interests, but through it all, I have always read. It seems that at times it is harder to find books that enthrall me, although admittedly I am behind on my reading, so I decided to start writing the kind of stories I'd want to read. I have always had stories in my head, they intrude at the strangest times. At some point, I discovered that when I took the time to write them down, more stories kept pouring out. There are so many ideas I have, it seems like there won't be enough time to get to them all. I'm starting with one story, in one particular style. But other stories, in different styles are coming. Stay tuned. My goal in writing is above all to entertain. Thank you in advance for giving me that opportunity. |

The Son of Man | by CW Johnson Feb. 08, 2009 | 135729 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: In the year 1997 I was a traveling musician. 1997 was the year my travels took me to an ancient town in Germany called Rothenberg… more specifically, the Cathedral of the Holy Blood Altar. It was there I witnessed with my own eyes a very interesting relic; a capsule said to contain three drops of Christ’s blood. This immediately piqued my imagination. What would happen if they actually found DNA within the capsule and cross-matched it with tissue found on the Shroud of Turin? What if it matched? This little flight of fantasy was the beginning of a journey that took me through dozens of false starts, years of writing and eventually through the never-ending editing process. The tale that emerged was as much a surprise to me as to anyone. It was very much like a story breaking free and escaping from my computer. I sincerely hope that you will find my novel entertaining and that you will continue the journey on through the next two books in the series. CW Johnson |

| Author bio: Melissa Blue’s writing career started the day she blew dust off her typewriter. This would be an idyllic situation for a writer if it had been 1985, not 2004. Eventually, she upgraded to a computer and started to submit her work. After four years and six books *plenty rejections* she’s still typing away on the same computer making imaginary people fall in love. Currently, she lives in California with her two children, and if she doesn’t go crazy first, will be finishing school some time in the next millennium. |
