Author bio:
I was born in England and grew up mainly in Stafford, a market town in the Midlands, with a year's adventure in Ohio somewhere in the middle. I studied English literature and medieval studies at Cambridge and York universities and later qualified as a lawyer. My novels, mainly comic crime fiction originally published by Hodder Headline, are based on my experiences as a solicitor in the north of England, as a teacher of English in Italy and as mother of three boys, one of whom is now a chess grandmaster. I now live with my family in Enniskillen, in the north-west of Ireland and divide my time between writing, selling Italian and English books and bits and pieces of community stuff.

Author bio:
Jennie Marsland is a teacher, an amateur musician and watercolor artist and, for over thirty years, a writer. She fell in love with words at a very early age and the affair has been life-long. She enjoys writing children’s fiction, poetry and lyrics as well as romance. With a background in Animal Science and molecular biology, Jennie has been a lab technician and a science teacher at different times in her life. She is now pursuing her love of language as an ESL teacher, meeting people from all over the world and helping them learn to communicate in English. She finds it as rewarding in its own way as penning novels. Jennie has always loved books that take her back to an earlier time. Glimpses of the past spark her imagination. Perhaps there’s an archaeologist buried in her somewhere. Everyone has a story, and it’s the stories of ordinary people that affect her the most. Jennie developed a soft spot for Westerns by reading her father’s collection of Louis L’Amour and Zane Grey novels as she grew up. She thinks they contain everything a girl – or a woman –could want…handsome, rugged heroes, spirited heroines and horses, but she’s planning on trying her hand at other genres as well. So many stories, so little time. She finds her inspiration in family stories passed down from her parents and grandparents, and in the beauty of Nova Scotia’s landscape. When she’s not writing or working she gardens, plays guitar and spends time with her husband, two cantankerous elderly cats and the most spoiled dog on earth.

Doggy-Sitting; A Short Story of Bestiality by Esmeralda Greene Doggy-Sitting; A Short Story of Bestiality by Esmeralda Greene Dec. 14, 2010 $0.99 6926 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Esmeralda Greene is an erotica writer dedicated to the principle that erotic fiction can be red-hot raunchy while also being written with intelligence, elegance and style. In addition to her self-published works, she has sold short stories to such venues as Hustler Fantasies, Circlet Press, Xcite Books and Clean Sheets Magazine. Esmeralda's erotica has been called "exuberantly sex-positive," "life affirming," "scorchingly hot," "fresh," "daring," and "skillfully written." Speaking for herself, Esmeralda says, "My stories are fun, sometimes funny, sometimes clever and witty; but most of all they're sexy. Kinkily, raunchily sexy. Good clean fun at its baddest and dirtiest. "I sometimes deal with strange and taboo subject matter, but my stories are never dark and my characters are never victims (though some of them may pretend otherwise). My characters always enjoy and exult in their sexuality, engaging in their various unusual and illicit acts with unapologetic joy and a zest for life." Esmeralda lives in the outskirts of Great Falls, Montana with a poorly trained dog and an even more poorly trained girlfriend. The icy winter nights have taught her the value of a fit body, a vigorous partner, and most importantly, an energetic imagination. Sometimes her steamy flights of imagination boil over in the form of an erotic story, making nights warmer for everyone. Visit Esmeralda's website at www.esmeraldagreene.com
