Author bio:
Născut la data de 28 noiembrie 1963, la Reşiţa, mama Marcela şi tatăl Gheorghe, fiind mehedinţeni din satele Stigniţa, respectiv Isvorăl. Cursurile primare în Turnu-Severin, la Şcoala generală numărul 8, iar gimnaziul la Şcoala generală numărul 2. Treapta 1 de liceu la Liceului Sanitar din acelaşi oraş, iar restul cursurilor la „seral”, atât în Turnu-Severin, cât şi în Timişoara. Debutul literar a fost unul timpuriu, la mai puţin de 13 ani, în primăvara anului 1976, câştigând la Calafat, în cadrul Festivalului-concurs de creaţie literară dedicat Independenţei României „Cântec din inimi tinere” Marele Premiu al Tineretului, fapt pentru care, în cartea editată cu lucrările prezentate de creatori, intitulată, la fel ca şi Festivalul, „Cântec din inimi tinere”, la pagina 54, a fost publicată poezia „Legendă”. În 1983, luna martie, fiind militar în trupele de paraşutişti, la Buzău, câştig marele premiu la un concurs de creaţie literară iniţiat şi lansat de publicaţia militară „La datorie”, cu eseul „Înfrăţiţi cu cerul albastru”, deşi lucrarea nu îndeplinea criteriile tehnice (nu era dactilografiată) cerute de organizatori. Drept urmare, devin nu doar colaborator, ci chiar mi se încredinţează rubrici permanente la revistele militare „La datorie”, „Apărarea Patriei” şi „Viaţa Militară”. Ulterior mă orientez către presa sportivă, iar în 5 ianuarie 1990 lansez, la Turnu-Severin, împreună cu regretatul Dumitru Vişan (sufletul şi iniţiatorul acestui proiect) „Săptămâna Fotbalistică”, săptămânal naţional în care semnează, printre alţii: Eugen Barbu, Adrian Păunescu, Ioan Chirilă, Eftimie Ionescu, Dan Claudiu Tănăsescu, Constantin Firănescu, Sorin Satmari, Ion Cupen şi Ovidiu Ioaniţoaia. Fac apoi parte din echipa cotidianului „Sportul românesc”, în paralel publicând şi în „Universul” şi „Timpul”. Din 1993 scriu rubrica permanentă (timp de 13 ani!) „semne de întrebare” din revista „LOTO-PRONO” editată de Compania naţională Loteria Română. Traseul jurnalistic continuă cu perioadele în care scriu la „Gazeta Sporturilor”, „Jurnalul Naţional”, „Ultima Oră”, „Cronica Română”, Oglinda” „Stadion”, „Formula AS”, „Cotidianul” şi altele, dar şi înfiinţez şi conduc o serie de publicaţii locale sau naţionale, după cum ar fi: „Actualitatea sportivă”, săptămânal de informaţie şi atitudine sportivă finanţat de Dumitru Urucu, în care debutează Răzvan Codorean, Silviu Mărculescu şi Crisi Preda (multiplul laureat pentru fotoreportaj al presei sportive din România, acum la Gazeta Sporturilor), Jurnalul de Mehedinţi, Justiţiarul, Observator, Noul Observator, Spirit Nou, Opinia, Vocea Mehedinţiului şi Mehedinţeanul. Colaborez la „Forum” şi „Informaţia de Severin”, realizând şi emisiuni TV la RTS (RadioTeleviziunea Severin). În anul 1999, în urma materialului „Preşdintele României asociat cu hoţii de fundaţii” apărut în cotidianul central „Ultima Oră”, condus de Ion Marin, sunt acţionat în instanţă de preşedintele în exerciţiu al României, la acea dată, Emil Constantinescu. Câştig procesul la Judecătoria Sectorului 1, iar de recurs nu mai este cazul, Constantinescu pierzând alegerile prezidenţiale din anul 2000. Pentru perioade destul de scurte, mai puţin de un an la fiecare, lucrez şi la televiziunile „Antena1” şi „OTV”, la secţiile „Ştiri”. În anul 2007 debutez cu volumul de poezie „La marginea dimineţii” şi romanul „Peron pustiu”, editate la editura ALMA din Craiova. În anul 2008, la aceeaşi editură, apare romanul „Profeţii”, iar în anul 2009, la editura MCT din Timişoara apar romanele „Risipitorii” şi „Călător în calea timpului”. Din 2009 sunt membru al Societăţii Scriitorilor Dunăreni. Am obţinut, de-a lungul timpului, mai multe premii pentru publicistică şi pentru activitatea editorială, dintre care: Premiul de Excelenţă 2008 al Centrului Cultural Mehedinţi, Premiul de Excelenţă 2009, ediţia 1, oferit de Primăria Turnu-Severin, Premiul Eminescu 2009 pentru Poezie, Festivalul Eminescu ediţia a 18-a, Premiul pentru Proză 2010 al Societăţii Scriitorilor Dunăreni.

Regret In Triptych by Chris Wesley Regret In Triptych by Chris Wesley March 02, 2012 $0.99 19153 words Sample 15%
Author bio:
Chris Wesley was eight years old, the first time he caught the attention of a crowd with his storytelling. Seven children stood captivated as Chris told of the time when the family’s pet Doberman Pinscher became engaged in a horrendous fight with his father, ending with his dad killing the dog with a knife. It was fifteen minutes long and a lie. But then, fiction is like that. Since that day, Chris has written music reviews and a music business column for Night Moves Magazine, acted in independent movies and plays; wrote, cast, directed, shot and edited an independent short movie, started bands and gone solo. He plays a few instruments and has generally been what some politely call “a wise guy”. That means he says things, he probably should have kept to himself. He does this often. But then, smart asses are like that. He is the creator of The Wilderness, a transmedia storyworld where artists, businesses and technology face off in a new frontier of ever changing paths to success every bit as dangerous and unpredictable as the wilds first traversed by early American settlers. In it, he gets to write fiction, say things he shouldn’t, create visual art and record music that pop radio would likely crap on if given the chance. He has fun with this. But then, independents are like that.

Diamants et silex by José Maria Arguedas Diamants et silex by José Maria Arguedas March 02, 2012 $6.29 18036 words Sample 15%
Author bio:
José María Arguedas (1911-1969), écrivain et ethnologue péruvien, est l'une des figures majeures de la littérature latino-américaine du XXe siècle. Promoteur d'un métissage des cultures andine d'origine quechua et urbaine d'origine européenne, il est considéré comme l'une des figures emblématiques du Pérou contemporain. Fils naturel d’un avocat itinérant et d’une servante indienne, il sera victime des mauvais traitements de sa marâtre. Il prend l’habitude de se réfugier auprès de la domesticité auprès de laquelle il découvre la culture et la langue quechua. Il poursuit des études de Lettres à l’Université tout en militant pour la cause des républicains espagnols. Il passe près d’un an en prison après avoir participé à une manifestation antifasciste (1937-38). Au cœur de l’œuvre de José María Arguedas se trouvent les romans : Yawar Fiesta, 1941 (Yawar Fiesta : La fête du sang, 2001) ; Diamantes y pedernales ; Los ríos profundos, 1958 (Les Fleuves profonds, 1966) ; Todas las sangres, 1964 (Tous sangs mêlés, 1970) et un roman-journal posthume non traduit en français El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo, 1971. José María Arguedas est aussi l’auteur de poèmes, de contes et de récits : La agonía de Rasu Ñiti (1962) et Amor mundo (1967). Son expérience de la prison fournira le thème d’un roman, El sexto (1961). José María Arguedas a poursuivi une carrière d’ethnologue qu’il aborde par le biais du folklore et de la tradition orale. Toute son œuvre est marquée par la dualité linguistique et culturelle entre l’espagnol et le quechua. Elle exprime avec grand lyrisme et profondeur le monde mythique des indigènes, avec la persistance de ses traditions magiques. Reconnaissant le talent du romancier on lui confiera le ministère de la culture de son pays et il fera de la langue Quechua la langue officielle du Pérou avec l'espagnol. Toujours fidèle à la tradition quechua de son enfance, il a vécu l’expérience du Pérou divisé entre monde andin indien et dominé et monde côtier hispanophone et dominant. N’étant jamais tout à fait parvenu à surmonter ce déchirement culturel, malgré sa réussite professionnelle et souffrant de dépression nerveuse, il se donne la mort en 1969. Publiés à L'Herne: Diamants et silex. Roman traduit par Ève-Marie Fell.

Nicole Stuart graduated with degrees in Commerce and Law, and, after gaining experience in banking, industry and commerce, started work with an international company as a Management Consultant. She rose rapidly through the ranks, and was seconded to operations of the company in Australia, Britain, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States of America for lengthy periods. This gave her the opportunity to experience where and how others live and work as well as an insight into a wide array of businesses. It also helped to lift the veil that obscures our views of other people, and revealed to her the ‘blinkers’ that so many people have, limiting their ability to see things the way they really are. She has a voracious interest in how things work, as well as in writing, with a considerable fiction output. She takes pride in basing her writings on a foundation of real life, finding existing conditions that pose real threats, and extrapolating them to produce exciting and entertaining reading, usually with the result that the reader asks “How would I have handled that?” She is currently touring Southern Africa ‘to get some background’ for her next book.

Author bio:
I was one of those kids always noodling with words, writing nonsense stories and animal adventures. I got a serious case of the word flu when I was asked to write an article for my high school newspaper. It is a disease from which I have yet to recover. In the intervening years, my work has appeared in daily newspapers, monthly magazines, extensively on radio -- and the occasional dalliance with television. I have written advertising copy and radio commercials. There is a bucket filled with awards sitting in my garage and I continue to write, write, write. Also featuring my byline are: a collection of short stories called "Forever -- and other stories," the novels "The Life Line" about the earthquake that levels San Francisco and "News on the Home Front" about two friends during World War Two, and the children's book "Mama Cat." Also, several short plays, a few radio plays and a boat load of radio documentaries. I am currently working on a novel of Paris in the 1920s and collaborating on an encyclopaedia of melamine plastic.
