"Mandolins Song" by Reuben Weber Oct. 25, 2010 127 words Read a sample
Author bio:
My name is Reuben Weber. I was born in Vienna, Austria on April 13, 1656. I am the owner and proprietor of the "Green Dragon" inn on 921 Canon Lane. I proudly housed each of the boys who would prominently play enormous roles in these tales. First J. Sebastian Bach in 1688, age 11 at the time. Then Antonio Vivaldi in 1694, age 16 at the time. And finally, Johann 'Pach' Pachelbel in 1694 age 15 at the time. These tales are exciting and often times endearing, I really think you will like them if you just give them a chance.

24:01 One Minute After by Eric Diehl 24:01 One Minute After by Eric Diehl Jan. 13, 2012 62263 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Eric is a tinkerer; he likes to make things. Perhaps it began with a custom van built in the long-haired days of the seventies—an old school bus with an engine salvaged from the junk yard. Or with the dozens of motorcycles ridden, broken, repaired and ridden again. Eric has built furniture and guitars; he’s screen-printed t-shirts in his garage and he’s created package-design. As a teen he worked out a billing system for a huge newspaper route (because he didn’t like knocking on doors), and he currently writes software for corporate clients—for a time working out of the traveling RV he and Sue called home. He built and flew a gyrocopter over the cane-fields and beaches of south Florida, and he’s done website design. But of all the avocations and pass-times in which he’s dabbled, Eric stands most in awe of one. Consider that most elusive of creations—the story, words which capture your mind. Ink on paper, black on white—a collection of simple articulations woven into a journey bounded only by the imagination. After more than three decades in south Florida, Eric and lovely wife Susan moved to the Upstate region of South Carolina, where the nearby Appalachians clamor for exploration. When cranky knees allow it, bicycling is a favored indulgence, often on a laid-back recumbent. Motorcycling remains a life-long passion (he enjoys teaching the occasional weekend safety class to bright-eyed newbies, both young and old), and he forever persists in being confounded by the acoustic guitar. He was likely a cat in a previous life, as there’s a definite affinity. He might look odd to some as he tromps off with his dual walking sticks, a rear-view mirror clipped to his bill-cap. A little girl runs alongside to wave her hand and call out “Hi Mister ski-man!” Shhh! Don’t tell anyone, but Eric still wonders what it is that he’ll do, should he ever grow up….

I'm currently single, but she's due back any moment, so please keep the erotic chat on the down low. I can be contacted at: IBDeader@hotmail.com
6-Pack of Romance Flash Fiction by Gil C. Schmidt 6-Pack of Romance Flash Fiction by Gil C. Schmidt Jan. 31, 2012 5021 words Read a sample
Author bio:
My first written story involved a boy, spear-chucking natives and ended in a dream. It won 1st Prize in the Short Story Contest held for 7th graders. Imagine how bad the others were. Being an avid reader of comic books, SF, mystery and sports stories and thinking that I knew I could do something similar, I took that first story as a push to keep writing. Almost everything I wrote after that I trashed, except for one story my Dad said: "It's good, but you wrote it for yourself, not the reader." From that point on, I knew I could write stories and I learned to write them for more than an audience of one. I've written plenty of stories, some of which were published. I've written seven books, one of which was published with me receiving no credit, as ghost writers know. I've been blogging as Gil The Jenius for several years, but not about writing. I've spent something like 40% of my professional career writing plans, ads, reports, proposals, articles, interviews and scads of other "serious" stuff. And what fiction I did write I kept tucked away, growing older as I focused on other types of writing. Now's the time for it to see the light. Somerset Maugham once said that "If you're waiting to write, you're a waiter, not a writer." Although I still take tips (preferably cash), I'm a writer...fiction now included.

Actually, to be frank, I'm fond of reading just about anything I can get my hands on, in a pinch.

An Anthology of Emotional Short Stories by Wm. G. Thilgen Jr. (Bill) An Anthology of Emotional Short Stories by Wm. G. Thilgen Jr. (Bill) April 11, 2012 2338 words Sample 10%
Author bio:
William Guy Thilgen Jr. (Bill) is a 63 years old semi-retired former native of St. Paul, Minnesota commonly known as the Twin Cities. He is the middle child of seven, with three older step-sisters, two younger brothers and a baby sister: William currently resides in Las Vegas, NV. He and his wife Rosa plan to retire to Mazatlan, Mexico, in a few years. Prior to his present career as a security officer at a major casino in Las Vegas, William followed his grandfather's footsteps as a professional truck driver. A career that allowed him to see parts of the country, taste various foods and to partake in a variety of adventures whenever he happen across them. During those years he considered himself to be a professional tourist. William attributes his imagination and story-telling ability to the fact that, like most children during his youth, he grew up in a large family in a small house with no room to play indoors. Most children of that era grew up playing outdoors. He and his friends would spend hours and hours finding things to do, and on occasion making up their own adventures.
