Hungry For Revenge by Ron Shillingford Hungry For Revenge by Ron Shillingford Dec. 12, 2011 Free! 3362 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
The only subject I was any good at during my childhood was English, so becoming a world renowned novelist was the supreme fantasy along with achieving the typical sporty ones concerning World Cup football matches and world title boxing fights. I've always had a profound love of the written word, whether creating, reading or analyzing. It's lead to an exciting career in journalism and three well received published books have come along the way: No Glove No Love (boxing novel), The Elite Forces Handbook of Unarmed Combat (martial arts) and From Prison to the Premiership (ghostwritten autobiography). The next phase is writing ebooks which I am grateful to Smashwords for providing the opportunity to do.Judging by the intinial reaction to my work, I may have finally found my niche!

If you want, you can email me at drwateva@gmail.com I love books!! I have so many favourites and have read so many I can't list them. My parents and Friends have said that I'm addicted to books and that the never knew reading too many books could be a bad thing! I can be very deceptive. If you ask anybody I know they will all say that me and coffee shouldn't be together but I love the stuff! I also love sugar and many believe I go "high" on sugar. I am personally known for the amount of books I read and the fact many believe I am crazy. To I degree I actually am but don't tell them that. I am one of the few who actually match their star sign perfectly. I love writing but suck at writing other peoples stories. I love to do random things but I can never have the guts to do them at the time. I have been told that I think too much and over think things. I can have complete understanding of things sometimes but aboslutely none at others. Can you guess my star sign? I play the trumpet, saxophone, keyboard and guitar and can write songs. Is there anything else you would like to know about me? If there is I will happily tell you so just message me and I'll get back to you. Top tips: When a Customs officer asks, "Do you have any firearms?" Do not reply, "What do you need?" Realise that before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you’re a mile away and you have their shoes. Redheads are dangerous. Hydrogen Peroxide and Potassium Iodide together makes an awesome prank!!
The Journal by Lori Meyer The Journal by Lori Meyer March 24, 2012 Free! 5111 words Sample 30%
Author bio:
My name is Lori Meyer. I am a mother of two and an elementary teacher. During the 2008 – 2009 school year, through the enthusiastic encouragement of my classroom full of fourth graders and my own two daughters, I decided to create a story from a dream I had had. And from that dream a series grew and also a spin off. From the day I started on that journey of creating a story from a dream, I found I couldn’t help but become hooked. They say once you are bitten by the writing bug it becomes a part of you. I found that to be true and have been writing ever since. I have always been an avid reader, with my favorite stories involving sexy vampires and fierce shape-shifters. But now I find even more enjoyment in creating my own characters and stories. I am still hoping to catch an agent’s eye so that I can get published in print. But until that happens, I’ll continue writing my characters’ stories and hope someday they will be shared.

Invisible Justice by Kim Jewell Invisible Justice by Kim Jewell May 30, 2011 Free! 75453 words Sample 15%
Author bio:
I’m a marketing executive and have worked in advertising, marketing and public relations for over fifteen years now – both at the corporate level and also in the agency arena. It has always been a goal of mine to take my writing skills from press releases and ad copy to another level – novel work. My first novel, Invisible Justice, was inspired by a dream in early 2009 and was completed that summer. Brute Justice is the second book in this YA series. Likened by readers to X-Men and Heroes, the Justice series is a contemporary take on teenage super heroes. After a bit of prodding, I took a break from the Justice series to start a darker young adult novel entitled Misery’s Fire, a storyline my husband dreamt one night and passed along to me. Misery’s Fire is a crime thriller detailing the life and death of Grant Williams and his subsequent experience in the afterworld. When his demon caseworker, Angelo, couldn’t break his spirit, he exacted his revenge by sending Grant back to the fiery pits of high school. He finds himself in a new – and much younger body – with nothing but a backpack and a school uniform. Grant must learn to survive not only life on his own, but also the horrors of high school – cliques and chicks included. The storyline covers some heavy topics for teens – gangs, drugs, bullying, violence and death. While the topics are dark, the story is delivered with a sarcastic wit that creates a lighter tone and allows the reader to emotionally connect with the main character, despite his transgressions. My day job… I am the Director of Development for a regional law firm in Indiana where I oversee the business development and marketing campaigns. My responsibilities include managing the public relations efforts, corporate identity, web site, advertising and external communications, client entertainment and special events, contributions and sponsorships, and market research for our firm’s six offices.

Who Framed Kara? by Lisa Deckert Who Framed Kara? by Lisa Deckert Oct. 28, 2011 Free! 2465 words Sample 100%
Author bio:
I live in a split entry house. From the front door, a short flight of stairs leads up to the main floor and another leads down to a hallway lined with overstuffed bookshelves. One Halloween, I opened the door to two trick-or-treaters, about nine years old. As I offered them candy, one of the boys asked in an awed voice, "Are you rich?" Laughing I asked him why he thought so, and he said, "All of those books!" Afterward, I looked at the paperback mysteries, the old encyclopedia we'd acquired one volume a week at a grocery store, the assorted hardbacks from bargain tables and secondhand stores, and I realized that he's right, I am rich. -Lisa Hall Deckert

I am a new mother and having my little boy inspired me to try to share my writing with whoever was willing to read it. I am in an exciting and terrifying time in my life as a new author, and I am enjoying every moment of it.

Author bio:
J. R. Calvo, a jack of all trades, was born the youngest of three in New Haven, CT. Weaned by trekkies and Star Wars, he became infatuated with science fiction as a young pup. His obsessions extend out to James O’Barr, and anything printed in comics. Throw in some Tolkien, Goodkind, Jordan, and Sanderson and the conundrum erupted. So Calvo journeyed down the Science Fantasy path to masterpieces like Dune. He began Resonics, in response to the most powerful question, Why not? Why not pit science against ‘magic’? Who would win in a fight a mech or a jedi? However, this is merely the backdrop. Resonics is foremost about the very real people. The villains who think they’re doing what’s best, the good guys drunk on their own legends, and the robotic centaur with a heart of gold… What? You never heard that one? Come and see.

Author bio:
It only takes a few minutes of thought before Peter Brandt can devise a scenario that would make a fantastic story, and minutes after that before it begins to fill itself in. “I have been able to think up stories all my life but it’s only been in the last seven years that I realized I was abusing my creative side by not writing them down.” Peter retired from the Air Force and began a new career as a Technical Writer. His writing abilities have allowed him to work in Canada, the United States and even in the Middle East. However, its Peter’s love for stories that has brought him into a new realm of writing. His humorous memoir about his life as a soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces and the tragic memoir about his father’s life in a Prisoner-of-War camp at the age of 14 allowed him to refine his writing before he began to venture in writing Young Adult fiction. “I have a very unique way of creating my stories. It begins with a craving, like a smoker who just recently quit cigarettes but still feels an overwhelming craving for a smoke. When that comes, I can’t shake it until I sit down and begin to let my mind wander. Many times I start my quest for a new story by wondering - What If. Soon after I begin to write and can usually get the first draft completed within a few weeks. Maple Express began as a “what if” question that involved a common held belief of the medical community and I’d share it with you but it would give away the storyline.” Peter has taken formal lessons in acting, "I've enjoyed some success as an actor in television and film before my day job as a Lead Technical Writer required me to move out of the country I always write my stories as I see them on the movie screen, which is why writing screenplays are also something I do with ease. I have written a couple of screenplays and shot them as short films with a friend of mine. I can honestly say I have landed in the perfect job for me. I love to write...doesn’t really matter what I write, creatively or technically, writing is a pleasurable experience. It has allowed me to travel and for that I am grateful.”

One day I looked into the mirror and I was old. I looked out the window and saw that I was rich. I looked at my family and saw that it was good. I looked at my life and saw that it was full, but when I looked back in the mirror, all that I could see was an impostor, a phantom, and the phantom was dying from a cancer. Then with the blessings of an angel the phantom was unmasked. I was not the phantom, the cancer was. It was my unwillingness to give up my ancient pain. My unwillingness to forgive the world for the struggle it made me suffer. Now when I look into the mirror I can see my heart, and can clearly see that the cancer is no longer real. That it is forever lost in the ancient earth and time. That the glassy dark hole that once irritated my heart was nothing more than an old black marble.

The authors very kindly described me as being 'amongst the best writers of language learner materials in English.’ I have also written for Ming Pao Daily and IATEFL Voices.
