The Survivors: Book One	by Angela White Feb. 28, 2012	164564 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Hello, I'm Angie. Now that the pleasantries are out of the way, lets you and I take a little stroll. There's a story I need to let out of its cage and I think it's one you need to hear. It's about the end of the world as we know it... Little pleases me more than to explore the fantasy, horror, and romance stories that get stuck in my head. Knowing other people also like them is second only to the magic of this new career I've chosen. As a die-hard Cincinnatian, I much prefer writing to the stresses of being a city Taxicab dispatcher. Thank you for making my dreams possible.

Author bio: Writer of fictions, lover of fantasies... Currently locked away in Astolot Tower working on a number of projects. Most of them may actually be completed, one day! As far as who I am, what events conspired together to form the person I have become through the years of life... I really don't know, truth be told. I like to write - am compelled to write - so I do. Who I am behind the mask, so to speak, is of little consequence, I think.

Harvest	by Steve Merrifield Jan. 31, 2010	155472 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Welcome to my space on the Internet! I write fiction within the horror genre and have written e-book titles that are available for free download on the internet as well as commercial releases. For those of you that would like to know a little about me; I live in Essex in the UK with my partner and our two cats. I work for the health service with people with mental health issues, and I am trained as a counsellor in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). My private practice is on hold at the moment while I concentrate on my writing. Personally I am a sociable person, although many of my friends now live out of the area now, but I enjoy catching up with friends over a cup of tea and a cake when I can. I enjoy being out in the countryside on long walks. I am a fairly homely person and in my spare time I love films, TV, reading, and games, and I also have a burgeoning interest in history, mainly British history, Victorian, and the history of London, and folklore in general. My main interest though, as you probably guessed, is writing. I have attempted the traditional publishing routes, but have yet to get past the enquiry letter with agents or publishers. It's a tough market. I have not given up though and I have decided to self-publish. Being self-published there isn't a publishing house behind my work and that means; no launch, no big advertising campaign, no reviews in the press, and no shelf-position in your local book shop or library. I'm grateful even for a small audience because people would have given me their valuable time to read the work of a new writer. However, I want writing, my interest and hobby, to play a larger part in my life. For that to happen I need to achieve a greater readership. My work and I need your support. All I ask is that you read it, rate it, and recommend it to others. It would also be nice if you stuck around to see what happens in the future... I have my own site, and I am on twitter and facebook and welcome your comments and support come and say 'Hi'!
The Age of Lost Innocence	by Damian M. Salo Dec. 10, 2010	155428 words	Read a sample
Author bio: My name is Damian Salo and I was born and raised outside Cleveland, Ohio. My father taught me a good work ethic while my mother taught me good morals. After graduating from Bedford High School, I obtained my BA in both Accounting and Finance at Kent State University, and due to the struggling economy, my best friend and I took our chances and settled in Brooklyn, NY. Itâ€™s true what they say. NYC is tough. But as an artist it forces you to mature, adapt, and to be creative. With so many people out here striving to do the exact same thing that you want to do, the question is: What will make you stand apart from the rest? Seven years later and after countless re-writes, I believe I have finally accomplished that. I crafted an epic fantasy that combines autobiographical stories of friendship, love, and fate with a touch of world politics, religion, and mysticism. More importantly, I wrote a novel that is true to myself.
The Drenching	by Billie Maverick Oct. 03, 2011	155208 words	Read a sample
Author bio: A clerical worker for over 24 years, my entrepreneur spirit kicked in â€˜91 after leaving my fortieth interview (yes I counted them back then). As the frustration of not finding work overwhelmed me I heard a soft voice in my mind, â€˜If they wonâ€™t hire you, hire yourselfâ€™. It was a new reflection; an unprecedented idea. Months later, I started a typing business from home. I also became a columnist that wrote about relieving stress, meditation and relaxation techniques in an online travel magazine. Iâ€™m close to 50 years of age, walking on a cane and feel that I have accumulated knowledge that spans two lifetimes. I love movies (action, animation, science fiction and fantasy) and Iâ€™m a video gamer (1st shooter/sniper). I'm a voracious book reader who discovered romance novels, Roman and Greek mythology in my teenage years. I keep myself updated on several subjects: how the mind works and its potential (whether itâ€™s psychological, intellectual, spiritual, or supernatural), entrepreneurship, savings and investing. I tell anyone that Iâ€™ve accumulated a wealth of â€˜mindlessâ€™ information thatâ€™s just floating around in my noggin. So with these wonderful lifetime experiences, itâ€™s only logical that I found myself slipping easily into a new career as a fiction writer. My promotion this year is to give away my 1st book, â€˜The Drenchingâ€™. I humbly ask that opinionated individuals, that struggled through in reading my book, to go to my website www.billiemaverick.com to send me a missive on how I can strengthen my writing.

Peter Carrot-top	by Yolanda Jackson May 05, 2009	154321 words	Read a sample
Author bio: My name is Yolanda A. Jackson, born on April 3, 1980 in Rockford, IL. I have been writing from the age of twelve, mostly Fantasy and Sci-Fi, but my writing skills go far beyond the norm into Horror and Animation. I first discovered my talent as a writer when I complained about Robocop needing more action, but my friends loved it. They dared me to come up with a movie better than Robocop - and I did! My first book/script was Copper Kid, it was about a computer programmed robot girl who fights crime with jet-propelled wings and a computer brain. It was just great - well at least I thought so. Finally, I got them to read it and lo and behold they loved it. That was when I first knew maybe I had something. As the years passed, I grew to hate school - it was not the place for me. I began to daydream about being a big movie director and owning my own studio. Of course, it never happened and I eventually finished school, but I hated everything but English class and writing assignments, which led me to my first hand-written novel, September Monkies, that I still have to this day. No one believed in my dreams and, consequently, they were swept aside as I went through this wonderful stage called "growing up". I was a foster child my entire life - a ward of the State - and writing eased the pain of moving from one foster home to another or one group home to another. Every time I moved I tried to write a novel to help me cope with my new home, and because of this I became more involved in my writing. I began to imagine places that only exist in fantasy or animals that only inhabit one's imagination. Soon, this freed me to face reality and to know when not to face reality. While my friends were all dating and into boys, I was into creative writing, imagining fantastic creatures that don't exist or developing characters to which everyone in the world can relate. When I was seventeen, the Department of Children and Family Services let me go and I was out into the real world on my own. That's when I realized that my dreams of writing would have to take a back seat to earning a living. The bills came first, and a roof over my head was more important than what had come to seem like just a dumb dream. It hurt to let my dreams slip away, but I had no choice. It was either work three jobs to get the bills paid or live in a fantasy land where the Fairy God Mother pays the bills. It did not take me long to realize that the Fairy God Mother did not exist. All the money I had for publishing had to be used for survival, and I threw my dreams aside to play the game of life. After years of working three jobs, I got tired and decided to give my dreams one more shot. I got a better job as a Sterile Tech in a trauma hospital and began making a little more money. So, I saved and saved and finally had had enough money to self publish, which has been a wonderful learning experience. I have published my first novel in a series - Peter Carrot-top "In Search Of the 8th Key". My goal in writing is to not only improve my skills, but to get children of the world interested in reading and writing, to see the story unfolding in their minds, and to use their imaginations to dream and to dream big.

An Ever FixÃ©d Mark	by Jessie Olson Jan. 24, 2011	153940 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Jessie Olson grew up in a small Central Massachusetts town with lots of trees and a complete lack of restraint on her imagination. Adulthood has granted her opportunity to stretch that imagination further by working in museums displaying medieval history and the whimsical design of a Dabsville mainstay. Writing has always been a part of that imagination. She writes a blog about all sorts of subjects â€“ light and frothy as well as questioning the topics that polite conversation recommends avoiding. There are many novels in the works, but An Ever Fixed Mark is her first foray into the paranormal. In addition to the written word, Jessie finds a pleasant occupation of time whilst performing in local theater, cooking up something for a dinner party, or watching a ridiculous number of hours of BBC television on Netflix.
Omega	by Bradley Stoke June 17, 2011	153795 words	Read a sample
Author bio: â€˜Omegaâ€™ and â€˜Alifâ€™ are novels that are publicly available on other web sites that showcase fiction. Inevitably, they have attracted the critical attention of some of the readers. These readers are not professional reviewers, but that does not necessarily mean that their observations are the less valid. In the interests of shameless self-promotion, I include here reviews that have been complimentary to my novels.
Blood Ties	by JD Nixon July 07, 2011	153020 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I live in beautiful Queensland in Australia. I started writing in 2009 because I wanted to do something creative and haven't stopped since! I have two series of books: The Heller series (first book Heller) features the frequently outlandish adventures of security officer Tilly Chalmers and her complicated relationship with her beautiful, mysterious and intense boss Heller. The Little Town series (first book Blood Ties) features police officer Tess Fuller and her struggle to survive a long-standing vendetta with the feral Bycraft family and at the same time manage the tense relationship between her new partner, Finn Maguire, and her boyfriend, Jake Bycraft. My author dream is to one day write a short story (which for me will probably be about 50,000 words!) where Tilly & Heller meet Tess & Finn. What a story that would be! Maybe over the end-of-year break??? I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoyed writing them! I'd love to hear your feedback, so why not email me at: jdn.author@gmail.com

Sentence of Marriage	by Shayne Parkinson March 08, 2009	150570 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I write historical fiction set in New Zealand, starting in the 1880s. My fifth novel takes the series to 1918. I'm fascinated by social history, particularly that of my own country. I live in a state of barely-controlled chaos; fortunately I share my life with an invariably calm and endlessly optimistic husband. I divide my time between an apartment in the city, in reach of good espresso, and a few acres in the country, where the rank grass in the orchard is kept under control by a small mob of sheep (and where we have our own espresso machine). When I'm not writing, reading, or engaged in mundane activities, I play the piano rather badly.

Love Sweet Love - Part 1	by Dave Corrick Jan. 07, 2012	149946 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I was born in Christchurch New Zealand and have, for a number of years lived in Auckland. My qualifications are in engineering; however from the years 2000 to 2009 I dedicated my time to creative computer programming. I essence I developed software to run on the Windows platform and then marketed it. It required some application of imagination to develop software and in 2009 I used this same imagination to write my first book. This was something I have always wanted to do and quite frankly, once I started I enjoyed it immensely. Close by to where we live (that's my wife Julie, and me) there is a delightful bush lined stream where we walk most days. It's a beautiful natural oasis in suburban Auckland. This stream was where with a little imagination the two "Louie the Bee" books were "born". The "Louie the Bee" books are available from Amazon, and Barnes and Noble in hard copy form and a few sell. However I must say the greatest pleasure I gain from writing is seeing the pleasure others get from reading the stories I have created. I feel I have achieved this when I see how the "Louie the Bee" books, that are here in our Auckland libraries; are always in demand. Seeing this has been the absolute true pleasure of writing for me. Subsequent to the "Louie The Bee Books", I was motivated to write the two "Love Sweet Love" books, by the despair I feel at what man is doing to the planet and how inevitably we will bring about our own demise. In reading "Love Sweet Love" you will know what I mean! Currently "Love Sweet Love" is only available in eBook format from Smashwords and Amazon Kindle. Dave

Salt Bride: A Georgian Historical Romance	by Lucinda Brant Sep. 18, 2010	143397 words	Read a sample
Author bio: My novels are set in the 18th Century, spanning 1740 to early 1780's Georgian England, with occasional crossings to the France of Louis XV. So, what are they like? Well, if you love BBC Classic Drama, Georgette Heyer, anything to do with Georgian England, romance, mystery, lashings of wit and adventure then you'll love my books. As well as determined heroines and heroes, there's always an eccentric character or two and a weave of subplots to keep things interesting. They're books I always wanted to read but seem few and far between nowadays when many publishers insist on strict genre formulas. Above all, I want readers to be entertained. I studied political science, history, law and education at university and teach at an exclusive boarding school for young ladies when I'm not being bumped about Georgian London in my sedan chair or exchanging gossip with perfumed and patched courtiers in the gilded drawing rooms of Versailles.
