English Idioms And Expressions For Everyone, Yes, Even You! | by Reza Mashayekhi Dec. 02, 2011 | $2.89 | 111915 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Reza Mashayekhi was born and reared in Tehran, Iran. He later attended the University of Michigan, where he received a degree in aerospace engineering. Reza has always been interested in learning the intricacies of the English language. This is why, alongside of his engineering work, he has taught English to non-English speakers. He has done this because he has wanted to expand his knowledge of English, and he has a good explanation for his reasoning. “When you want to learn a subject, you approach it from your own perspective,†he says. “Once you feel that you know enough about it, you typically move on to something else. When you teach a subject, however, you have to learn everything about it before you can satisfactorily answer all of the questions that are raised by the students.†Reza also consults with non-English speakers to prepare them for their public speaking events, or to help with their day-to-day conversational skills, both in the form of workshops and on a one-on-one basis. Being a non-native speaker of English, living and working in the U.S., Reza’s experience through the years and his interactions with his students and clients has led to the compilation of this book. |

Words With JAM - December 2011 | by Danny Gillan Dec. 02, 2011 | $1.50 | 50442 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: As a youth, my main ambition was to find success as a musician. I've been playing the guitar since I was six, and, in my teens and twenties, played in and wrote songs for a number of bands in and around Glasgow, with varying degrees of failure. As I grew older, and every inch lost to my hairline resulted in two being added to my waistline, I came to realise that rock godhood was no longer a viable option, but it has always stuck with me how much I enjoyed the writing process. At the same time as seeking out failure and misery in the music world I have had a couple of other careers. Upon dropping out of university for a record third time (my mother is so proud), I got my first pub job. For five or six years I spent pretty much all of my waking hours pulling, and drinking, pints in several of Glasgow's finest licensed premises. Pub work can be a great life, as long as you don't mind the terrible wages and complete lack of career prospects, but eventually I found myself inexplicably hankering after something a bit more fulfilling. Through a casual acquaintance I was introduced to the world of social care, more specifically that of supporting adults with learning disabilities and/or mental health problems. I spent the next eight years working in this field, starting as a voluntary music tutor and rising to the dizzying heights of senior management with a large voluntary organisation operating in the West of Scotland. Eventually, however, constant battles with social workers about funding, and support staff about the importance of turning up for a shift, started to get to me. Eight years ago I handed in my notice and went back to pulling pints, at least initially. I'd managed, through blatant nepotism (my sister was the manager), to get a job in a posh Glasgow hotel. For the first year or so I happily reacquainted myself with Glasgow's drinking culture, but it didn't take them long to notice I was relatively good with unimportant things like words and numbers, and I found myself charged with thankless tasks such as accounts, payrolls and answering complaint letters. This was not fun, believe me. I soon tired of all that and, in 2006, returned to social care. Nepotism played its part once again, when a former manager called me with a job offer. The hours are awful and the money's rubbish, but apart from that I'm quite enjoying it. Anyway, back to writing. I had a couple of false starts. I wrote some brilliant opening chapters, establishing characters, locations and relationships. The problem was that I could never get past that first chapter. It soon became apparent that plot, of all things, was something of a prerequisite. This threw me for a while. And then I had an idea. What would happen if a failed musician (okay yes, me) became depressed (don't ask) and killed himself, then got famous? That could be a plot. From that initial idea I sketched out a plot revolving around the friends and family of the musician in question, and found I was able to explore a diverse set of themes including social care, music, familial relationships, friendship and mental health issues, hopefully with a decent dose of humour and sensitivity. Will You Love Me Tomorrow is the end result of many subsequent months of toil and frustration, and was selected as the Scottish Region winner of the Undiscovered Authors 2007 competition. The book was published by Discovered Authors in October 2008. Since completing the book I have written a number of short stories, something I hadn't attempted before. I've found this an excellent way to practice and polish my writing, as well as an opportunity to experiment with style, tense, point of view etc. One of my short stories is due for publication in a future edition of Chapman magazine and another has recently been accepted by Bridge House Publishing. Another appears in an anthology produced by the Arts Council funded writers' site YouWriteOn.com, and a fourth is due to appear later this year in Short Fuses, and anthology produced and published by the Bookshed, an online writing and publishing community. I have now completed my second novel, Scratch. It tells the tale of Jim Cooper, a Glaswegian thirty-something office worker who decides to leave his job, sell his flat, pay off his debts and start his adult life again from scratch. Maybe this time he can do it properly and get (or, rather, keep) the girl. The fact that the girl is happily married and lives in another country, and her Bruce Lee obsessed father seems to want to be Jim's new best friend are only the beginning of his troubles. Scratch is an un-sanitised, emotionally honest and hilariously candid story about what it is to grow up as opposed to simply change age, as told by a man who doesn't know what any of those words mean. |

| Author bio: I was raised in a traditional American home, finished high school, some college courses and cut my teeth being self-employed for over 20 years. Learning on the job in the Martial Arts field, I made myself successful by being honest and out working the competition. The values I taught to children and adults about how to live their life are the values that most people covet and desire; HONESTY, LOYALTY, AND DISCIPLINE. As is the case in many people’s lives, circumstances and events lead me away from the business I spent most of my young life developing and promoting and at age 41 I found myself too young to retire and too old to start serious schooling. So I chose the automotive industry to unleash the sales and business skills I had developed over the years in my Martial Arts businesses. |

The Character Book | by Joan Meijer Nov. 24, 2011 | $2.99 | 43986 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Joan Meijer is the author of over 20 books and 35 short stories including the ground breaking "MetaFitness:Your Thoughts Taking Shape" co-authored with Suzy Prudden. Her most consistently best selling story "Relentless: The Search for Typhoid Mary" has been greeted with much acclaim. It is a fictionalization of Mary Mallon - Typhoid Mary - based on the little information that is available about her. It also displays the amazing birth of microbiology and the discovery of the cause of typhoid which had been such a devastating disease until the moment of Mary's identification as a carrier. "The Initiative" is a medical thriller - once again delving into a medical mystery - this time in modern times as Cassandra Williams investigates an anthrax outbreak in New York City that could only be caused by germ warfare. Mid-way through the investigation she discovers that terrorists have an anthrax bomb they intend to deploy over New York and she joins forces with Senator Richland Powell in a heroic and frantic effort to save the city. This is the first of a Cassandra Williams series. "Provenance" Meijer's first work of fiction is based on a true rescue that happened in New York in 1985 when a 35-ton building crane tipped over an unprotected sidewalk - 30 feet above a cellar hole, pinning a heroic woman by the legs in constant danger of dropping to the floor below. Meijer - herself a New York City Paramedic - tells the tale of the rescue in thrilling detail as each of the steps the city takes to save her fails and in the street amputation comes closer and closer to being the most dangerous and possible only way to save her. "The President's Dirty Little Secret" is Meijer's most recent medical thriller with a political edge. The story is about David McLaughlin - once ace reporter now in the limbo of writing obits for his paper after blowing the most important story of his career. McLaughlin's wife and new husband are brutally murdered after Dr. Reginald Hotchkiss tells McLaughlin that he has some terrifying evidence that hints at a scandal. McLaighlin must keep himself and his daughter alive long enough to solve the murders and several others that follow. On the non-fiction side, Meijer has written "How To Write A Book That Positions You As An Expert In Your Field" and "The Character Book" both books about writing, and "Date Rape It's Not Your Fault" a book about how to avoid date rape, and how to handle your life if you can't avoid being raped. |

| Author bio: In 1973, Lynne Murray just happened to take a proofreading job at what was then the largest law firm in San Francisco. Little did she know that the firm would contribute many plot twists and a couple of murder victims to her first mystery, Termination Interview (St. Martin's Press 1988), wherein a personnel director is thrown out a 12th-story window at a huge stuffy law firm. Fascinated with the ins and outs of the law, Lynne found that the big firms needed 24/7 word processing. That was the ideal job for someone who needed to work weird hours to support her fiction writing habit. She has typed every sort of legal document, and transcribed tapes from police interrogations and FBI surveillance to court hearings. Lynne lives in San Francisco. She has had a total of eight novels published and collaborated on a humorous e-book of encouragement for writers. |
