Death Wears High Heels | by M. R. Sellars May 04, 2012 | $5.99 | 297985 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: A member of the ITW (International Thriller Writers), M. R. Sellars is a relatively unassuming homebody who, in his own words, considers himself just a “guy with a lot of nightmares and a word processing program.†Legend has it he started making up stories to entertain a stuffed bear during his single digit years, then began writing them down sometime around his early teens when the growing catalogue of fiction started causing him to experience migraines. Although he had several short stories and newspaper articles published during his early adult life, it wasn’t until 2000 that his first full-length novel, Harm None: A Rowan Gant Investigation, hit bookstore shelves, officially launching the acclaimed paranormal thriller series. Sellars says that the biggest adjustment he has had to make with his writing career is coping with the time spent away from his family while traveling on promotional tours. Still, he approaches the necessity of public appearances with the same humorously deadpan and satirical wit that he applies to life in general, stating, “As long as I have an RC Cola and a bag of peanuts, I’m all good, Bubba.†All of the current novels in Sellars’ continuing Rowan Gant Investigations saga have spent several consecutive weeks on numerous bookstore bestseller lists as well as a consistent showing on the Amazon.com Horror/Occult top 100. In 2010 a short e-novella featuring a supporting character from the RGI cast spawned a new series, The Special Agent Constance Mandalay Novels, the first in the spinoff being IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER, which hit the streets November 2011. Sellars currently resides in the Midwest with his incomparably amazing wife, equally fantastic daughter, and a pair of felines he describes as, “the competition.†At home, when not writing or taking care of the household, he indulges his passions for cooking and hanging out with friends. In order to satisfy his lifelong dream of being a satirical humor columnist for a major metropolitan newspaper, twice each week he removes his glasses, dons blue tights and a red cape, then blogs about the incredibly bizarre world that is his life as a writer, husband, and father. It has been said that his blog articles sometimes blur the line between fiction and reality. To that Sellars responds, “What line?†M. R. Sellars can be located on the web wherever there is a virtual bar serving virtual single malt Scotch, single barrel bourbon, good Irish whisky, and decent beer. In other words, look for him on the major social networking sites. |

Marching With Caesar-Conquest of Gaul | by R.W. Peake March 28, 2012 | $3.99 | 297802 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I am a 52 year old retired Infantry Marine, born and raised in Texas and currently living on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. I have been writing since my first novel, written at the age of 10, when my friends and yours truly fought off the Soviet hordes, who just happened to pick my block to launch their invasion. That was their big mistake. But like a lot of dreams, it got sidetracked until recently, when I decided to focus my passion on an era and subject that interested me a great deal. Like my characters in Ancient Rome, I have served as the pointy tip of the spear of our nation's policy, and it is with this perspective that I tell the story of Titus Pullus and his friends. This is my first published novel, and is the first in a completed trilogy that covers the career of Titus Pullus. |

The Fire And The Storm - Metric Edition | by Wayne Edward Clarke Feb. 02, 2012 | $5.99 | 296719 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, on Sept 21, 1963. I'm estranged from my father, having met him one since I was a toddler. I've lived in Calgary, Alberta, Canada since 1980. I have three brothers and a sister. My sister is married, she and her husband each have two grown sons. All of us and my mother live in Calgary and are quite close. I'm married to a lovely girl from the Philippines named Jema Tuyor Clarke, and I look forward to enjoying my life with her as soon as two governments stop putting us through their interminable and expensive bureaucratic processes. I'm intensely and compulsively self-educated, I read at about 300 words per minute, and I've increased my IQ to about 160. I've always enjoyed inventing and designing machines. Most of the machines I've designed are new types of vehicles. I was a professional musician for about nine years. My musical skills include lead and harmony vocals, most styles of guitar and bass guitar, some drums and keyboards, songwriting, mixing, and production. I spent about fifteen years researching and designing a comprehensive change in society and culture that will solve all the world’s major problems, guided by the principles of bio-sociology as introduced and developed by Prof. Edward O. Wilson, and influenced by Dr. Desmond Morris’ human sociobiology. I haven't worked on it like a fanatic over the last eight years like I did for the previous fifteen, but I have continued to develop my work in this field. Over the last eight years I've spent most of my intellectual and creative energies in writing sciences fiction and fantasy novels. I’ve been a hard sci-fi fan my whole life, but everyone else I know who’s an avid reader are all fantasy fans. Over the years I’ve borrowed all their books, and learned to love that genre as well. My science fiction influences include the old masters; Heinlein, Asimov, Niven, Bradbury, Clarke, etc. Also William Gibson, Iain M. Banks, and Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card. My favorite relatively unknown author is Daniel Keyes Moran, and if you like sci-fi you should read his Continuing Time trilogy; Emerald Eyes, The Long Run, and The Last Dancer. They might be out of print, but I think you can still get them as ebooks online. My fantasy influences include Raymond E. Feist, David Eddings, and Jaqueline Carey. I’ve also been influenced as a fiction writer by my sociological work, and my science fiction novel People Of The Tiger (and the rest of The Rational Future Series) is set in a utopian future where my social policies have been implemented, which is a good way to get those ideas out into the public consciousness. Much of my social thinking permeates my fantasy novel Blessings Of A Curse as well, though it’s a lot harder to notice there. I’ve also included my ideas on the law and legal reform in that book, though those policies were appended to the back of the book in an excerpt, for the sake of smooth readability. |

The Corrupt Republic | by Andrew Buck Dec. 08, 2009 | $9.95 | 294180 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Shady dealings, corruption at the highest levels of government, and the ruthless pursuit of money and power: It's politics as usual in The Corrupt Republic, the explosive new political thriller by Andrew Buck (ISBN 1449596851, http://www.thecorruptrepublic.com). Inspired by Americans' growing distrust of Wall Street and Washington, The Corrupt Republic is Buck's debut novel. It tells the all-too-believable story of one man's entry into the upper echelons of power and politics, the shocking corruption he uncovers and the lengths to which those with the most to lose will go to keep him from talking. The book's release is timely, given the vast majority of Americans -- Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike -- have become disillusioned with politicians and disgusted by the financial crisis. Buck began with a vision for a novel that drew from the nation's political divisions and the despair people felt in the face of obvious political corruption, crippling financial bailouts, a deep recession and the desire for meaningful change in Washington. But The Corrupt Republic is not just about the worst of America. Ultimately, the novel shines a light into the current financial and political darkness by introducing a main character that reflects the best of America and exemplifies the nation's ethical core and values. Readers will walk away from The Corrupt Republic with a new resolve against the marriage of business and politics and renewed hope for the future of the country. Buck is not the likely choice to write a page-turner about dirty dealings in Washington. A veteran project and program manager who worked all over the globe throughout his 20-year career, Buck now advises clients on strategic planning and organizational strategies through his firm, Global National. As he watched the rapidly changing political and financial landscape of America, Buck couldn't shake the idea for The Corrupt Republic. He began writing, and the novel quickly took shape. "Because of our current political and economic situation, and the current American mood, The Corrupt Republic lays the foundation for a compelling dialogue on the future direction of our country," said Buck. "It provides a present-day perspective to help readers understand how critical political and financial decisions affect our nation's future." Buck is now at work on a sequel to The Corrupt Republic.

Upon a River's Crescent | by R.M. Plaiscia March 13, 2012 | $0.99 | 288582 words | Sample 11% |
| Author bio: The far fetched dreams of becoming an Author have consumed me. But it wasn't always like that. Sure, I used to draw out little mash-up stories that combined the universes of Star Wars and Star Trek when I was a kid, and I even kept a 'Notebook Wrestling Alliance' together well into my teenage years. But then life kicked in. I strayed from my writing, even straying into the world of Backyard Wrestling for a minute, and it wasn't until a hurricane took everything away that I found myself falling back to the almighty pen for support. The only things I took with me when evacuating for Hurricane Katrina were, besides about three days worth of clothes, all of my journals and my 'Notebook Wrestling Alliance'. Now, to be honest I never expected the water to reach my second floor, but it did. After that all I had left was a pile notebooks. And ever since then I've hardly ever put down my pen. I became enthralled with the storm that took it all, which eventually led me to learn about other hurricanes to ravage southeast Louisiana, and that ultimately brought me to write about them. I began small, throwing out a few names and writing out a few scenes, strictly for my own entertainment. At that time the world I lived in was littered with acrobatic cars, positioned in ways that I never believed possible, and houses in the street, literally, one street had like fifteen or so houses in the middle of the street, and another dozen or so had floated across a canal to collide with a pack of apartment complexes. It was crazy, seriously. The house I, sorry, WE just rebuilt, my childhood home, had a house with the concrete slab attached from six blocks away sitting in front of it. But I digress. You get the point. Inspired by disaster, The Hurricane Journals were born. I never expected to take it this far. But, hey, look at that, I did. So I'll go ahead and see where they take me. And maybe, only if I am deserving, of course, you could come along for the ride as well? |

Yohaana's Song | by St. Wishnevsky April 03, 2011 | $4.99 | 287518 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Artistic Resume: Steve Wishnevsky 612 McCreary St. Winston-Salem, NC 27105, 336-661-9060 wishnevs@bellsouth.net Steve Wishnevsky was born in 1945 to a military family and has lived in Alabama, Connecticut, Northern California, Vermont, Tennessee, and North Carolina. He has been settled in Winston-Salem since 1984, and is well known as part of the literary and musical circles. He started in his chosen art form of Lutherie with informal studies under James A. Rickard, Chief Engineer, Ovation Guitars in Connecticut, in the late 1960’s and was creating informal and assembled instruments as long ago as 1960. He concurrently began to earn a living as a woodworker, making wooden toys and smoking accessories, under the name JWH Woodworks in Hartford, Connecticut, and Newark, Vermont. A fortuitous employment assisting the cabinetmaker at the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut exposed him to original masterworks of art and sculpture, and to the rudiments of conservation and display. An interest in American Appalachian Musics led to an invitation from David A. Sturgill, a North Carolina Folk Heritage Laureate, to study musical instrument making in Piney Creek, North Carolina in 1973. There he studied with such luthiers as banjo maker Kyle Creed, fiddle maker Albert Hash, and guitar maker and National Folk Heritage Award winner Wayne C. Henderson. A few years later, the Sturgill family bought and moved two established guitar manufactories, Harptone, of Newark, New Jersey, and Microfrets of Maryland, to Independence, Virginia, under the name of The New River Music Company. Mr. Wishnevsky was foreman and production manager for this facility. In 1978, Mr. Wishnevsky accepted a position with Ovation Instruments in New Hartford, Connecticut, where he was able to study under James Rickard again and to exchange ideas with other master luthiers such as Seth Hedu, of Watertown, Connecticut, and Richard Starky, now of Martin guitars. Two years later, Mr. Wishnevsky moved to Middle Tennessee, where he was able to open his own studio devoted to the design and construction of mandolins and to also further his interest in sculpture. He was able to win some awards in local art festivals and to study under local sculptors such as Tom Jackson, and to study the Gallagher Guitar factory, in Wartrace, Tennessee. After further studies and touring the Gurian Guitar shop in New Hampshire and the Taylor factory in El Cahon, California, Mr. Wishnevsky has established a studio in Winston-Salem, where he makes guitars and basses, while also employed as a Master Cabinetmaker. He is one of the very few craftsmen in America to ever complete a full sized Double Bass Viol. He is now working on his tenth instrument of this class, and is also in serial production of the epitome of guitars, the Archtop, or Cello, Jazz Acoustic Guitar. He is also continues to experiment with Unique, Folk, and Art instruments, and has formed alliances with local visual Artists Jon Blackburn, Laurie Russell, and Ted Lyons, among others, to create decorated instruments of a new category and style. He has works in the permanent collection of some local establishments and has had a few gallery sales, notably at Morning Dew Coffeehouse and at Urban Art Ware. He is a fixture at the Summer on Trade Series for the last several years and usually vends at nearby Festivals and Shows such as The Enofest, Merlefest, Apple Chill, LEAF, The Mount Airy Fiddle Festival, Many Hands, and others. He believes that Lutherie is the pinnacle of woodworking, invoking as it does of all the senses except taste, and having a cross-disciplinary impact on the arts of music, sculpture, and ergonomics. A musical instrument must have visual appeal, produce pleasing sounds, be comfortable to the hands and body, and most importantly, serve as an interface with the nervous system of the performer in such an instinctive, supportive way as to facilitate that performer’s creation of his own art, and communion with his audience. The challenge is to induce mute wood and metals to give voice, and he feels he is becoming at least facile at this task. |

Destiny's Warriors Pure Evil (Volume 3) | by R.M. Putnam Sep. 27, 2011 | $2.99 | 284992 words | Sample 30% |
| Author bio: I took great pleasure in writing Destiny's Warriors. Celt myth and the wonderment of Pagan gods sent me on a journey that took 17 years to write all ten novels in the series. The brutality of human sacrifice to appease the gods is a part of history that is horrific. And, the idea of Gods having to deal with the same emotional issues as mortal man was fascinating for me to create. This wonderful journey into mystical realms guided me to continue and finish the saga. I tell of enchanted warriors, mystical creatures and monsters such as Crimson Death and Banshees. The struggle to survive, heartache, betrayal and rivalry are what my characters have to face in this fantasy. You'll cry, cringe in fear and feel in awe at the romance as you read my tale. I hope you enjoy reading Destiny's Warriors. May a Rainbow be your guide down destiny's path. R. M. Putnam |

Journeying Mercies: Tuesday Was Gone | by Bob Neudorf Oct. 09, 2010 | $4.99 | 284014 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: By the time I was six years old I had lived on three continents and five different countries. My parents were protestant missionaries in French Soudan (later the Republique of Mali). I have often said, in referring to my childhood, that Mom thought that God was looking after me, and God thought that Mom had me under her wing. This understanding left me mostly alone to wander the wilds of Africa, living off my hunting skills and avoiding the multitude of dangers.It was an idyllic childhood until boarding school at Mamou Alliance Academy in the neighboring country of Guinea. My brother died suddenly and later we lost a sister. I have two graves to visit sometime, if I ever get the chance to return to Mali. I returned to Saskatchewan in my teens, finished high school, found a job and in every way faded into the life of a regular Canadian. But lurking, bubbling and boiling, underneath this veneer was a desire to tell my extraordinary story. |
