Author bio:
I am a teenage African American poetess trying to open up a new avenue in the world of Dragons: Space Dragons!! And I WILL make it "work." My stories are mostly flash fiction, short stories and (best of all) poetry. About The Society On Da Run series: Earth has seen many visitors, from space dragons colonizing the planet in Pre Cambrian times to intelligent insectoids and benevolent owl gods. Follow the adventures of a wide cast of characters as they encounter the dragons of the Draconizica empire, and Ashuton Karrucci, the god of dragons going about his daily life in Italy. From a story about a small town ravaged by an airborn dragon virus, to a story about a cruel dragon king on a terraformed Mars, to the story of a girl pregnant with a Dragon god, these stories are not bound by the norms of the Fantasy and Science Fiction genres. Also includes stories unrelated to the dragons. _______________________________________________ As of March 2012, all issues in the TSODR have been (or are being) updated with new covers and additional content.

Author bio:
Hi, I'm 29 years old and i've been writing for nearly 10 years and i've enjoyed modest success. My stories focus on the darker side of fiction with the protaganist in my novel being a semi retired mob enforcer, who thinks nothing of using torture as a means to an end. Some of my short stories are lighter, having a humourous approach to them. I would like to end this profile by saying thanks for taking to time to read it and that I hope you take the time to read my stories.

Author bio:
Started reading SF and Fantasy in the 1950's (yes I am that old), Galaxy and Astounding magazines mainly. Have been a fan ever since. Horror as well - especially Lovecraft and Derleth. All time favourite author is the great Jack Vance, but recently have found Neal Asher - fantastic! Have fooled around with writing short stories for a long time, but couldn't be bothered to submit them. Found Smashwords and decided to take the plunge. It's rewarding to see that people are downloading my stories and adding them to their libraries. Hope that they find them enjoyable. I play GuildWars a lot - hence the picture - that's my character, a necromancer of course!

De hondjes van Etretat by Adriaan van Garde De hondjes van Etretat by Adriaan van Garde Feb. 14, 2012 1799 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Adriaan van Garde is als schrijver een laatbloeier. Vanaf zijn puberteit had hij volop ideeën voor verhalen. Maar het lukte hem niet die op papier te krijgen. Een soort mistdeken, die na een ziekte in zijn jeugd in zijn geest was achtergebleven, hinderde hem daarbij. Vreemd genoeg had hij geen problemen met schrijven in opdracht. Op 28 september 2007 trok de mist in zijn hoofd plotseling helemaal weg. Kort daarop schreef hij zijn eerste verhaal "Het nummer van God". Sindsdien heeft hij geen enkele moeite met het schrijven van verhalen. Het schrijven in opdracht lukt echter niet meer. Nadat Adriaan een paar verhalen had geschreven, zocht hij naar publicatiemogelijkheden. Dat resulteerde in de publicatie van het verhaal "Een scheepsjongen voor de Wensenzee" in nummer 15 van het kwartaaltijdschrift Pure Fantasy. Daarna heeft hij nog een aantal verhalen gepubliceerd. Vanaf maart 2012 zullen op Smashwords enige gratis te downloaden verhalen verschijnen. Wil je op de hoogte blijven van publicaties en andere ontwikkelingen rond Adriaan, kijk dan op zijn website.

Author bio:
Who am I? A children's author. I cover all market sectors from those aimed at the very young (often to be read to them) up to the Young Adult market. All my books slot into specific imprints according to length and target audience. As follows... Snippets - Shorter books aimed at younger readers or adults looking for something to read to them at bedtime. BratReads - No, not books for brats, books that are themselves a little brat-ish. By turns, funny, awkward, anarchic or just a little thoughtful. TeenReads - As the name implies, books for teenagers. Adventurous and rebellious. Next in the series: 'No, Papa'. Interludes - A series of short books aimed at the Young Adult/Crossover audience. Mystical, mysterious and sometimes a little scary, you might want to read these with the light on. Tales of the Night - Full length ghost stories for the YA/Crossover market. Next in the series: 'Heretic'. Anything not included in the above is a stand-alone novel for the YA/Crossover market. One title so far - 'Continuum' - to be followed by 'Mount 37', a dystopian novel set in the uncomfortably near future.
