Thorn In A Mother's Rose by Sharonna Johnson May 08, 2012 8776 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Ohayo! My name is Sharonna, Ronny for short. I've just started college, majoring is Sign Language. My first passion is creative writing. Stories (and secretly sometimes poetry) are my thing, and my second passion is languages. My dream is to become an international well established interpreter for at least 3 out of the 7-10 languages I plan on studying. I was born in Michigan in 1993. I grew up in Detroit, MI with my close knit, crazy family. I've written multiple short stories, my first being a trilogy called "The Demon Child," which was written in first grade. "Rotten in Denmark" is my first published story, my baby, and I hope to publish at least one hundred more before I'm gone. A writing goal I have is to write a fantasy novel full of everything I've ever loved about fantasy stories I've read over the years. So far I'm good at writing dry, dark humored, suspenseful stories and I love those too.

Sphereshifters: Aleph (Story Arcs 1, 2) by Joshua Lemay May 07, 2012 19402 words Sample 100%
Author bio:
The story of a boy who became a man named Josh(actually the boy was named Josh, too). His father, a dreaded Canadian pirate named Pierre, swooped in one day to seduce his mother, Angela the Princess of a long lost country(my grandfather was from Greece, but no one even knows where that is). They did things, but that's for their bio, not mine, so we won't talk about that(also, ew, parents, gross). And then, with stars shining in the sky like a twinkling omen of amazing awesomeness, I was born. I went on to greatness immediately, like learning to walk and speak English. Later, having attended a brutal school where they beat the potatoes into an unrecognizable mash if they looked at the teachers funny(then served them for lunch to the students, which is awful), I learned how to survive in the hard streets of New Hampshire. All of that has led me here, to write. With my unique and -real- lifetime experience, I know I have a story to tell and I'm gonna tell it! Except the stories won't have anything to do with me, and they're mostly fun and fantasy and magic and adventure, but isn't that neat? Check them out! They're down there somewhere, just lower your eyes a bit and maybe scroll. I like to use the mousewheel, but you can click the scroll bar buttons or use your arrow keys, too.
Jack City by Robert J Dornan May 07, 2012 71730 words Read a sample
Author bio:
I write and edit every day without fail. I began this "dream" during my university days so many years ago. I wrote short stories and lyrics and often shared them with friends. A decade later I tried my hand at screenwriting and actually completed one but never did anything with it. About seven years ago I wrote a fluff story about a business man who falls in love with a Russian woman and somehow the "Russian" theme has crept into a couple of my manuscripts. The book did okay but I never marketed it and lost interest. My love for writing returned as my children grew older and they - without knowing - compelled me to write Jack City as well as Legends of Tanushka. In the next two years I have plans to release four more books

Do. So much so that it is now living as a tattoo on her arm. And her personal motivator which is also one of her tattoos: ‘unless’…because there is an ‘unless’ to everything in life. She likes to keep her biggest dreams a secret, a special treasure just for her to reflect on. She believes in being all that you can be. Your dreams are out there if you only go searching for them.

Finding Words for Love by Nobo13 April 27, 2012 3719 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Hi, I'm Nobo13, a writer, artist and publisher rolled into one. The pen name Nobo13 comes from my surname. It reads like the Japanese for climb 'noboru' but it has an extra bit that resembles the number 13- hence we have Nobo13. Additional the part that is 'noboru' is read as 'to publish' in Chinese, so it made sense for me to use it as a self-published author. Other than writing or doodling away, I've found myself strumming away at ukuleles- I highly recommend getting an uke. It's something that brings a smile to a face quite easily, and is itself very pleasing. Please check out my website, it has a lot of features and fun.

Clueless in Seattle by Lisa Deckert April 26, 2012 569 words Read a sample
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

After that, I get a small smidgen of time that divides between writing and learning self-sufficiency.
