Brazil | by Errol Lincoln Uys Feb. 27, 2012 | $9.99 | 387489 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Errol Lincoln Uys (pronounced ‘Ace’) is the author of the epic historical novel,'Brazil.' Of this work, distinguished Brazilian critic Wilson Martins wrote: “Uys accomplished what no Brazilian author from José de Alencar to João Ubaldo Ribeiro and Jorge Amado was able to do. He is the first to write our national epic in its entirety. He is the first outsider to see us with total honesty and sympathy. Descriptions like those of the war with Paraguay are unsurpassed in our literature and evoke the great passages of 'War and Peace.'†'Brazil' won the highest critical acclaim in the United Kingdom, Germany and France, where it was a bestseller ('La Forteresse Verte.') Said 'Le Figaro:' “No one before Uys knew how to bring to life Brazil and her history. Uys’s characters are brilliant and colorful, combining elements of the best swashbuckler with those worthy of deepest reflection. Most stunning is that it took a South African now a naturalized American, to evoke so perfectly the grand but interrupted dream that is Brazil.†'L’Express' concurred: “A masterpiece! 'Brazil' has the feel of an enchanted virgin forest, a totally new and original world for the reader-explorer to discover.†'Publisher’s Weekly' described 'Brazil' as “Pulsing with vigor, this is a vast novel to tell the story of a vast country. The principal characters, both real and imaginary, are hard to forget . . . Uys re-creates history almost entirely ‘at ground level,’ even more densely than Michener.†Uys has also written the non-fiction book, 'Riding the Rails: Teenagers on the Move During the Great Depression.' The 'Boston Globe' praised this work as “A riveting document of hope and hardship. The reader can all but hear the cadence of the trains on the tracks and the lonesome wail at every whistle-stop.†'Riding the Rails' was chosen as one of the “10 Best Books of 1999†by Amazon’s history editor. Uys was ten when he wrote 'Revenge,' a novella penned on the back of worthless stock certificates tossed out by his mother. After high school, he worked as a law clerk for two years before becoming a reporter on the Johannesburg 'Star.' His next job was as editor of the Cape Town edition of 'Post,' then South Africa's biggest weekly among its African and mixed-race population. Moving to London, he was chief reporter for the 'South East London Mercury,' before joining 'Reader's Digest' in England. The magazine sent him back to Africa, where he founded the first South African editorial office, becoming editor-in-chief in 1972. Five years later, he moved to the United States with his family, joining the 'Digest's' world headquarters as a senior international editor. In 1977, the Digest assigned him to work with James A. Michener on his South African novel, 'The Covenant', a controversial collaboration covered in 'Working with James Michener,' doucmented on Uys's website. He has been a resident of Massachusetts since 1981 and currently lives in Dorchester, Boston. A detailed biography is available at the website: http://www.erroluys.com |

Return to Torrey Pines | by A. J. Osorio Feb. 27, 2012 | $1.99 | 182454 words | Sample 7% |
| Author bio: Graduation from New York University led to a career in education. An M.A., supported by graduate work (Hofstra), and a doctoral program (CUNY), concluded my formal education. Old books, museums and musty libraries fascinated me. I wanted to bring my findings to life. I discovered a path to the past through living history. While a 12-year member of the Brigade of the American Revolution (1975-1986), I recreated el Regimiento de la Luisiana, which became a practical basis for writing. During the American Bicentennial, my group demonstrated from Canada to Florida. As reenactment-commander, I accepted the surrender of British colors at San Augustine. During my tenure, I participated in instructional exercises on the life and times of common Revolutionary War soldiers at the U.S. Military Academy. I received the prestigious Sons of the American Revolution medal. Research on the Bourbon Family’s role in the Americas triggered travels in Latin America, and Europe. I joined the Kingdom of Spain’s cultural effort to publicize its role during the American Revolution; participated in PBS and; Hollywood films (Sweet Liberty); and worked successfully for the issuance of a Bernardo de Gálvez Stamp. In Arizona, after horseback riding on the Gila River, where de Gálvez ventured, my ‘sketches’ twisted—nonfiction became historical fiction; then came the Journalist of the Magdalena Series, a saga of a family challenged with political upheavals, a border war, and drug expansion as they pioneer aviation. Why fiction? “Fiction, when presented with well-defined characters and plots, best pulls another time from dormant dusty pages and drawings.†Memberships included: Arizona Author’s, Company of Military Historians, Hispanic Society of America, NRA, Romance Writers of America, and Southwest Valley Writers. Past-time: rainforest travels Authors: Jeff Shaara, John Jakes, Thomas Fleming, Gary Jennings Next novel: The Eagles of the Sierra Madre |

Der Schlüssel zu deinem Herzen | by Courtney Milan Feb. 27, 2012 | $1.99 | 29877 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Courtney Milan’s debut novel was published in 2010. Since then, her books have received starred reviews in Publishers Weekly and Booklist. She’s been a RITA® finalist and an RT Reviewer’s Choice nominee for Best First Historical Romance. Her second book was chosen as a Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2010. Courtney lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, a marginally-trained dog, and an attack cat. Courtney wishes she could say she has lived in numerous fabulous places. But aside from her husband, there is a distinct lack of fabulousness in her life. Instead, she is happy when standards in the Milan household hover above mediocrity. Her husband attempts not to kill people for a living. In exchange, Courtney attempts not to do the dishes. Before she started writing historical romance, Courtney experimented with various occupations: computer programming, dog-training, scientificating... Having given up on being able to do any of those things, she's taken to heart the axiom that those who can't do, teach. When she's not reading (lots), writing (lots), or sleeping (not enough), she can be found in the vicinity of a classroom. |

| Author bio: I'm the co-author, with Sunset Thomas, of Anatomy of An Adult Film. I have 33 novels and over 150 short stories currently published. I spent my early years in the part of Los Angeles known as the South Central. I was known as Whi' Boy, which was sufficient to indentify me in that place. I'm a skilled kung-fu player, using a system that I learned from a Korean I knew only as 'Pak.' It would be easier to tell you the places that Pak wasn't wanted by the police, rather than the places where he was wanted by the police. Pak's kung-fu system, augmented by some bits and pieces from some Chinese practicioners is quick and effective, or I wouldn't be alive today. My early education was mostly obtained by stealing books from the public library (I always returned them and the Librarian even began to provide me with reading lists.) I did go to high schools, but I never really learned anything there. I eventually graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles, UCLA, with a degree in mathematics. I work as a Systems Analyst and also make a part of my living as a professional gambler (legal in Nevada.) I write science fiction and erotica.

Vortex: An Adventure of Cosmic Complexity | by Jean Stites Feb. 27, 2012 | $3.99 | 54968 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Chronologically, I span approximately sixty years; and I’ve paraphrased this unsurpassable opening line from Janet, who was my suitemate at SUNY Binghamton: a place which also gave me a B.A. in Music and my husband. We have two swell children and a pussycat. We raised our family in Georgia, as I supplemented my piano teaching with a variety of anthropologically instructive employments while entertaining myself during many treasured twilight hours with the pursuit of literature for fun and enlightenment, until a tempestuous fate blew this grateful musician into the relatively safe haven of San Francisco Bay. While I grew up in Oakwood, New York: an unmapped hamlet, smack dab in the middle of the Finger Lakes, where at an early age I contracted pneumonia after playing in the snow, which sent me to bed and turned me into a reader. Then I went temporarily blind when I was fifteen and laid there once again in the dark, making up stories and metamorphosing into a writer. After that I became a valedictorian, went out into the wide wacky world, and soon learned that I really didn’t know squat about anything.... Although having now given it all some thought, of course, I pray my audience will feel that I’ve made some progress. Plus, having now also spent quite some time making up stories in the dark, I hope they'll be as much fun for you to read as they are for me to write. |

Aftereffects: Zombie Therapy | by Zane Bradey Feb. 27, 2012 | $0.99 | 57873 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I was born in Michigan, just outside of East Lansing, where I still live with my beautiful wife and six little zombies. Horror has always been my genre. I grew up waiting for the Saturday-morning Creature Feature. While other kids were watching Scooby–Doo, I was soaking up Vincent Price films. I like the new stuff, but I love the classics. I remember watching George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead in black-and-white and thinking, ‘That’s what I want to write!’ My early writings were short stories, published in anthologies and young fiction magazines. I was even more successful with literary fiction, but my heart has always been in the horror classics and my mind has always been on zombies. In 2011, I set out to write my first zombie novel, Aftereffects: Zombie Therapy. I currently work in a mental health setting. Observing the cases of those suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder gave me the basic concept of living life as a cured zombie. With memories of terrifying events relived through flashbacks and nightmares, how do you live life after having been a zombie? You’ll have to read Aftereffects to find out. Aside from being “the Zombie Guy,†I am a full-time husband, father, student, and HR and finance manager. I am currently working on a Master’s in Human Resources Management. I hope to find a job in HRD training, unless zombies start paying the bills. In that case, thank you zombies!!! |

My Green Marble and other poems | by Donald Enz Feb. 27, 2012 | $2.99 | 6357 words | Sample 25% |
| Author bio: I was born in 1946 and raised in central Illinois. During my youth, I was lucky to be able to visit my parent's families each summer in two very small towns and had, in my opinion, free range over what I did. It was a great and unique experience that allowed my imagination to grow wild. I started to write and paint at a very early age and have been lucky to be able to continue my creativity my entire life. To do so has caused many difficulties at times, but I wouldn't trade a second of it. Being creative and being able to express myself in paintings, sculptures, and writing has made me a better person. I recommend creative freedom to everyone. I have a BS degree in English, an MA in sculpture, and an MFA in ceramics. |
