"A clown with an axe walks into a church..." by James Pratt June 16, 2011 $0.99 4963 words Sample 30%
"A clown with an axe walks into a church..." It sounds like the start of a bad joke but in a dark future overrun by unspeakable horror, an evil clown with an axe that tells him to kill things might be just what the doctor ordered.
Author bio:
James Pratt likes to create realistically flawed but basically decent characters and have them cross paths with serial killer angels, redneck vampires, slithering horrors from other dimensions, and the end of the world. He also likes to write stories that demonstrate how the ever-present darkness threatening to wash over the world like a wave of endless night can be held back with a little courage and a big shotgun (assuming one hasn't already used both barrels, of course). Some take place in the distant past, others in the far future, and still others somewhere between eight minutes ago and twelve minutes from now. Whether sci-fi, adventure, or straight-out horror, the running theme is that the universe is very, very big and we are very, very small.

Many of Hollywood’s biggest stars, like John Wayne, Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, got their start in "B" movies.

Terry helped his mother remain at home for the next ten years, in spite of significant medical problems and a memory disorder that stole her ability to manage daily life.

His business is devoted to helping frail elders, people with disabilities, and their families maintain this control. Terry is involved in state and national initiatives to develop “self-directed” in-home services. He also serves on the Racine County Commission on Aging and Board of the Aging and Disability Resource Center. He is a member of the Kenosha County Long-Term Care Workforce Alliance.

Dat was in 1996. Sindsdien is het gezin uitgebreid met één zoontje en hou ik mij - naast gaan werken uiteraard - bezig met allerlei hobbies. Zoals lopen, muziek beluisteren, muziek spelen (gitaar en djembe), lezen, tuinieren, film, wandelen, snowboarden, etc... Sinds 2002 is daar echter nog een creatieve hobby bijgekomen, namelijk schrijven. Dat het eerste product zag in 2003. Meriumbe, de vlucht van het Heilig Vuur Om in 2004 gevolgd te worden door een nieuw boek. Deel twee van de Meriumbe trilogie. Na deel twee van de Meriumbe trilogie is het een hele tijd stil geweest. Deel drie van de trilogie is nog altijd 'work in progress'. Om deze lange periode van literaire stilte te doorbreken was er in 2009 gelukkig een nieuw boek. Geen boek van mij alleen, maar een bundel. 'Time Out'. Een literaire ontmoeting van een 15-tal schrijvers die elk een sci-fi / thriller / spannend verhaal afgeleverd hebben, gebundeld in dit unieke project. Time Out verscheen in juli 2009.

Give me the moment and I'll tell you a tale. Give me a lifetime and I'll show you a saga. I’m a storyteller, a writer, a “Daddy” and a nightowl who makes good use of the calm and the quiet of 3 am, scribbling ABDL romance stories on a piece of paper when not taking late night road trips to Wal-Mart. An author of ABDL romance and erotic stories. Likes to focus in on the storyline, making it as compelling and as realistic as the characters. His stories always include a dominant male and a submissive female. I like to spend a lot of time detailing the thoughts and thought process of the characters, particularly the female. Each story in a series is written with the intent of showing a progression of the couple's relationship, making it possibly for them to discover more about each other and explore the desires of their hearts at a level which is deeper, more personal and more meaningful. ABDL will always be the base of my author's soul, bu I like to include humiliation, embarrassment, spankings, thrills and such - perhaps a little more BDSM than ABDL. Pulling from my life experiences as a "Daddy" as well as the future within my soul, there's always a story in my head and I will always write stories and every word will be a piece of my heart.

First, a deep heartfelt thanks to those who have already bought my books off SMASHWORDS. I hope very much you enjoy them. Secondly, I'm pleased to say that all my Young Adult novels are now also available to buy on Amazon as Kindle books. I'm 37, English, a former gym instructor,and I write Young Adult fiction, specialising in a style I'd call gritty, 'fantasy-edged' realism. My debut YA novel, "I FLY", was represented for a time by Becky Bagnell of the Lindsay Literary Agency before we parted ways in 2009. I have written 10 more YA novels since then, none yet published, though some came close. Not enough moody teen vampires? I also write stageplays, and made my pro debut in November 2011 when my stage adaptation of four M.R. James ghost stories, which I called AN UNSETTLING EVENING, ran at the Palace Theatre, Southend, London. I have written a musical based on THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, and purely for my own pleasure, since it hasn't a hope of getting made, a stageplay based on DOCTOR WHO. I also write film screenplays, and sold the option to one, INGRID's BEACH in 2009 to a Dublin production company before the recession bit and funding was pulled. The option has been returned to me. I also write TV drama pilots, pantomimes (some produced) and music. Favourite books: THE KRAKEN WAKES by John Wyndham CHOCKY by John Wyndham

Dec. 15, 1947 I know what you’re thinking, sitting there kinda smirking, like “are you kidding” ’bout this tale being a true story? “A vampire-werewolf in South Arkansas”—come on.” Yeah, I know that’s what’s going through your mind ’cause that’s what everybody in Norphlet thought while all this stuff was happening, and we were running around town trying to warn folks about the vampire-werewolves.
Author bio:
Biography of the author, R. Harper Mason Richard was born in El Dorado, but spent his early years in Norphlet, Arkansas, a little town of 650 people located in the south Arkansas oil fields. When he was eight-years-old he moved a mile out of town to a farm on the edge of Flat Creek Swamp. The stories in The Red Scarf and Lyin' Like a Dog novels are based, in part, on his adventures in and around Flat Creek Swamp. While these stories are historical fiction, they are based on incidents and situations that happened to Richard and his good friend John Clayton as they prowled the swamp. Richard was the town paper boy for several years during this time and his relationship with many of the characters mentioned in The Red Scarf and Lyin' Like a Dog are based on his actual interaction with these people. Richard graduated from Norphlet High School, enrolled in the University of Arkansas, and graduated with a bachelors and masters degree in geology. He spent six years working for Exxon; initially on the famous King Ranch in South Texas and then in Benghazi, Libya, where he worked in the desert as a well-site geologist. During his time in the desert he began to write his first novel, but before he could finish the manuscript, he was transferred back to Corpus Christi, Texas. It would be over thirty years before Richard would begin to write again. This time it was after he had quit Exxon, started his own company, and moved back from Texas to South Arkansas, and instead of a 1920 oil boom novel, it was The Red Scarf. Richard has numerous interests, and he has received many awards for his environmental work and for historic preservation. He was president of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation for three years and was named Conservationist of the Year in 1989. He has received numerous awards for historic preservation, the most noteworthy being the highest statewide award given, The Parker Westbrook Award. In August of 2008 Richard was featured in the High Profile section of the Arkansas Democrat- Gazette. Richard is 6’ 2” tall and weighs 170 pounds, an avid tennis player, collector of antique maps, nationally published author, and an honored conservationist
