Atlantis, B.C.E.	by Richard Alan Dickson May 12, 2012	$2.99	10377 words	Sample 10%
Author bio: Richard Alan Dickson's writings range from the traditional science fiction, like "G-Blade" and "Gateway: Left Behind," to the more whimsical "Love, Venusian Style" and the Cat Patrol Delta series. He also writes stories for young adults, with titles like "Mister Majestor's Magnificent Menagerie" and "Diver Down!" The kids and the young-at-heart are represented, too, with stories such as "The Last Great Case of the Sunny Hills Detective Agency" and the short, "Hank the Happy Snowman." Before becoming a full-time fiction writer, Richard spent twenty years in the business world. After a hungry stint as a fresh-faced stockbroker, he set aside the glamour of Wall Streetâ€”along with the thousands of friends heâ€™d made during dinner-hour cold callsâ€”to work as an accounting assistant in the Seattle office of a reinsurance company (yeah, he had to look that word up in the dictionary, too). Once on the corporate ladder, Richard proved that his years spent climbing trees hadnâ€™t been a complete waste of time by quickly climbing to department manager. But corporate winds are no less predictable than any other wind, and climbing in the wind is seldom a good idea. He suddenly found himself on the wrong side of the country when his company was forced to relocate ten years later. They regrouped in New England. He remained in the Northwest. Waving good-bye to the moving vans as they motored down the road, Richard carefully considered his next career. He became a corporate consultant and ran himself happily ragged for the next nine years, traveling the country and racking up more frequent flyer miles than even a CPA could conveniently count. Richardâ€™s final years in Corporate America were spent in a Fortune 500 insurance group. As a VP, Controller, and then an acting CFO, he traveled from one coast to the other putting the lessons heâ€™d learned as a consultant to good use. His current career as a fiction writer takes him much further than any jetliner ever could, and he seldom needs to leave his writing loft to get there.

He is approaching his forties with the kind of dread usually associated with a trip to the gallows, suffers from the occasional bout of insomnia, and still thinks Batman is cool.

This Way Out: A novel of fame, original sins, and the Beverly Hills Discretion Squad	by Bob Fenster May 10, 2012	$3.99	93180 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: I believe in head fakes, the crossover step and going the other way. Also, if youâ€™re not half-cynical, youâ€™re missing the news. I think that as soon as you say youâ€™re going to die young and leave a beautiful corpse, itâ€™s too late. But also, what the hell do you think anyone is going to do with that beautiful corpse? Remember the women who threw themselves into volcanoes when Valentino died? Theyâ€™d never met the star and wouldnâ€™t have liked him if they had. I believe the idiots have been running things long enough. On the other hand, itâ€™s the smart guys who will do us in. If anything is going to save our collective butt, it will come out of nowhere. I only say that because the stuff we already know about doesnâ€™t look that promising. I think there has never been a politician who uttered the word freedom and actually meant it. I believe in dark chocolate, black coffee and straight whiskey. Also, long running catches and short love affairs. I follow Johnny Cash, Etta James, Al Green, Joe Ely, Emmylou Harris, Rodney Crowell, Curtis Mayfield and Roy Zimmerman. I maintain that Reacher would be dead before he ever saw Parker coming. I can see Mel Gibson as a kind of Parker, but no way Tom Cruise can ever be Reacher. I think Luc Besson knows how to make exciting movies, but Quentin Tarantino is a second-rate hack disguising himself as a first-rate hack. If you havenâ€™t figured it out by now, I was born in Brooklyn but live in Northern California, root for the Giants and donâ€™t care who knows it. My other books include: Duh: The Stupid History of the Human Race Well, Duh! The Duh Awards The Big Book of Duh! They Did What!? Laugh Off Twisted They were all published by Andrews-McMeel and can be purchased wherever good books (and bad books) are sold.

Still battling 'dark energy' that has harried and hampered his efforts to complete his books and get them to those who will benefit from the message they hold he says he has had to 'live in a bubble of extreme patience whilst fighting a war of attrition against everything that tries every day to thwart my progress to help others'.

Jesus Invades George: An Alternative History	by Luke Rhinehart May 07, 2012	$3.99	91785 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: Luke Rhinehart is the sporadically acclaimed author of eight works of fiction: The Dice Man; The Search for the Dice Man; Whim; White Wind, Black Rider; The Book of the Die; Long Voyage Back; Jesus Invades George: An Alternative History: and Naked before the World, the last trying to be the first film based on one of his novels. A BBC production once named The Dice Man â€œone of the fifty most influential books of the last half of the twentieth century,â€ but was careful not to define what that influence might be. The editors of Loaded Magazine, high on some superb grass, honored The Dice Man in 1999 by naming it â€œthe Novel of the Centuryâ€. More recently the book has been cited by the London Telegraph (using only alcohol) as one of fifty great cult books of the last fifty years, and by the Toronto Star (stone sober) as one of the twenty great novels not yet made into a film. Interest in Lukeâ€™s work has undergone a miraculous rebirth in the last several years and is now at an all-time high. The Dice Man has been published or republished in more than twenty-five countries and is now selling more copies throughout the world than at any time before. In addition, numerous plays, TV series, and documentaries have appeared in the last decade based on or about Lukeâ€™s work. Luke lives sneakily in an old farmhouse in the Berkshires in upstate New York where neighbors know him as the old fart George Cockcroft.
From The Storm	by Adrian Walker May 07, 2012	$2.99	124650 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: I was born in the bush suburbs of Sydney, Australia in the mid â€™70s. Dad was a struggling writer, a Scot who had escaped the drizzle of Glasgow for inspiration down under. Mum was a passionate actress from Lancashire who taught drama to local kids when she wasnâ€™t looking after me and my sister. My parents always described our young family life as poor and blissful, but the call of home was too strong for them. Dad renovated a camper van he found in a ditch, drove us across the Nullabor and moved us back to the UK, where I was raised. Ever since I can remember, Iâ€™ve been interested in three things: words, music and technology. When I graduated from the University of Leeds, I found a career in software. A few years back I took a 6 month break in contracts to focus on what I really wanted to do. I spent every day writing and when it was time to return to work I had the first draft of a novel. Three jobs, one wedding, two children and endless rewrites later, I self-published â€˜From the Stormâ€™ for Amazonâ€™s Kindle. Iâ€™ve loved every moment of the process and Iâ€™ll keep doing it, regardless of the outcome. Edinburgh is my home now. I have a wonderful, supportive wife and two kids who amaze me more every day. We live at the foot of the Pentland Hills, where you can find me running or mountain biking most weekends.

Outsourced	by Saul Tanpepper May 06, 2012	$0.99	5424 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: Saul spent his formative years in a creaky century-old house overlooking the Erie Canal in Upstate New York. His bedroom was a refurbished attic, which he shared with all manner of creatures, not all, he is convinced, flesh and blood. After bouncing around the US and Europe, he settled down to pursue a career in the sciences, opting to study the mysteries of human molecular genetics. But even positions as an experimental biologist, teacher, manager and biotech entrepreneur could keep him from his true love: literature. eFiction magazine calls Saul a writer armed with "a PhD and a whacked out sense of humor." He now writes speculative fiction full time from his attic-less home in the San Francisco Bay Area, which he shares with his wife, kids, four dogs, three cats, six chickens and the occasional possum.
