In 9 Days | by Red Phoenix Feb. 07, 2012 | 16276 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I love romance and I love good sex. It is a healthy combination in real life, which is why I started the Sensual Erotica series. I wanted stories that touched on the ups and downs of lovers and the unique sexual experiences that make life a ton more fun. These are stand alone scenarios made to excite and titillate, but all are interconnected. I hope you will enjoy the palate of sensual experiences contained in the series. Pick and choose the ones that speak to you, or be a little naughty and sneak a peek at one you've always been curious about. I lovingly call the series "The sexual adventures of T&A." Follow the lives of Troy & Amy as they make their way in the world and hopefully back into each other's arms. The short stories are written from either Troy's or Amy's point of view, so you get both sides. * I also added a novelette about a werewolf clan who practices the Bonding Ritual every full moon. Sexy...and taboo. Would enjoy hearing what you think. Check me out on Facebook or you can contact me through my email: Redphoenix69@live.com |

Claude & Sophia | by Shane Greenhough Feb. 07, 2012 | 2000 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I'm a South African writer of awesome proportions! My work is simple and fairly direct, if somewhat heavy-handed, with each story carrying an observational message, or moral of sorts. Mostly working in the short story, or flash fiction style I've several pieces in the works that expand upon that theme by bonding a number of shorts into a larger work that weaves a greater tale from the threads of shorter ones. Delving into my professional background seems to me to be uninteresting, so I'm not going to bore you with those details here. |

Heidi's days are spent at volleyball practices, football games, homeschool co-op, prayer meetings, and at her favorite escape—the library. She finds time to bake bread, host sledding with her kids on snow days, and swim at a local community center. She has played in a F.R.O.G. and ridden in a Mighty Truck.

Chimpanzees in Dungarees (Illustrated) | by Chris Whitfield Feb. 06, 2012 | 43716 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I am an accountant with a sense of humour, which most people consider a contradiction. I live in the UK on the Wirral with my wife and two bitches. That's a Border Terrier and a Cockapoo, in case you're thinking I'm living the life of an African tribe leader who believes he's a gangsta rapper. I have three grown up children but have never quite managed to grow up myself. At the age of eighteen, I was often mistaken for pop idol, Donny Osmond. Nearly four decades on and ravaged by time, the best I can now do in the look-a-like stakes is Richard Osman from BBC TV's Pointless. Osmond to Osman, how the mighty fall. Chimpanzees in Dungarees is my first published book. I can imagine there's already more than a few, hoping it's the last. |

The Russian Blonde | by Robert Hendry Feb. 06, 2012 | 50690 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Hi there. My name is Robert Hendry, and over the past 30 years, I have 26 published Non-Fiction books in paper form. I recently decided I would like to branch out into the Fiction field, initially with a subject I have studied for a similar length of time, the Soviet Union. During that time I got to know a good deal about Soviet military hardware and operational doctrine, and after the break up of the USSR, it was interesting to actually see at first hand the stuff I had studied at a distance.Seeing a Termit Surface to surface missile fired for real beats any number of photos! The majority o COl War Era novels have a Western hero and Soviet baddies. In the 1980s, as the Brezhnev era ground to a stand, various factions view for power, and my novels have brought in a limited CIA or MI6 involvement, but the main action is between good guys and bad guys in the USSR. The First Novel to be relesed on Smashwords is "To Kill Our WOrthy Comrade", which covers a plot to assassinate the General Secretary at his dacha in the Crimea in 1981. The real 1991 plot took place at the replacement dacha just a few kilometres along the coast. The novel introduces the C-in-C of the Black Sea FLeet, Admiral Petrov who is drawn into the fight to defeat the plotters and a 19 year old girl communications rating, Lidiya. She is one of those girls who just seem to attract trouble, as you will discover in the Lidiya Petrova Series No 2 and No 3. I managed to get No 2, The Admiral's Woman on line, and if you felt that Lidiya had a pretty easy time in No 1, and landed on her feet, you will fidcover that things get a bit more hectic for the lovely Lidiya in "The Admiral's Woman". As you will have gathered I have these two very different publishing careers and I have thoroughly enjoyed both of them. As a historian, I have to rely on available sources, and imagination is not on. As a novelist, it is important to get facts right but after that the more imaginative and original the storyline the better. All the Best RObert H |
