The Year It Rained by Crescent Dragonwagon The Year It Rained by Crescent Dragonwagon May 23, 2012 $2.99 63757 words Sample 25%
Author bio:
I write for kids. I write for cooks. I have 50 published books out. 11 of them won awards. I had an adventurous, feisty, interesting marriage for 23 largely happy years. My husband, Ned, went out bicycling one day, got hit by a car and died. I garden. I blog. I cook. I live in Vermont. Used to live in Arkansas. Before that, New York. These days I hang out a lot with my very old mother, Charlotte Zolotow, a famous children’s book writer. Also her cat, Tumbleweed. My late father, Maurice Zolotow, was Marilyn Monroe’s first biographer. Yes, it’s my real name. I think anxiety, procrastination and discomfort are powerful creative forces in disguise. I think that apparent obstacles are building materials. That writing practices and principles spill over, cornucopia-like: from writing to life. I teach writing. I teach people how to befriend uncertainty and fear through writing and thereby reclaim their creative powers of self-love and reinvention. And become better writers. I think we’re all part of the narrative life tells itself about itself. No wonder we all have something to say.

The Archbishop Comes for Gabriel by Lee Patton The Archbishop Comes for Gabriel by Lee Patton May 23, 2012 $2.99 7765 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
After growing up in an immigrant/lumbering/fishing town on California's Mendocino Coast, and after college in Sacramento and San Francisco, I headed to Colorado to teach high school and work on my M.A. in Denver University’s Writing Program. In the late 80’s, I wrote plays for Denver’s legendary Changing Scene. That led me to develop plays produced in Arizona, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Alaska, then off-off Broadway in New York. A scholarship sent me to London to study theatre, where a jealous-love murder threat in our dorm inspired the fictionalized events of my first novel, Nothing Gold Can Stay (Alyson Books, 2000, published as Casey Nelson to avoid embarrassing my fellow students and teachers). In the second novel, Love and Genetic Weaponry: The Beginner's Guide (Alyson Books, 2009), I explored a completely fictitious Hitchcockian-paranoid-romance set among very real Western landscapes. The idea of the amateur sleuth fascinated me, especially my protagonist, Ray O’Brien, a young teacher forced into the role of accidental detective. He must solve the mystery and defuse danger using only his everyday wits and evolving insights into human nature. Like my character, I have found myself in the midst of a role I never predicted—accidental mystery writer. But I’m at work on the third novel in the series, Fresh Grave in Grand Canyon, which gives me a chance to explore more of what I love—whitewater rafting and the canyon’s surreal geology—and develop another romance interrupted, of course, by murder.
