I am a Canadian photojournalist interested in topics of spirituality, travel, ancient sites and Celtic history.

I also like writing stories about my grandchildren Shannon and Ally who are growing up faster than I can write!

Billy And Tilly - Reading Is Fun by TJ Daniels Billy And Tilly - Reading Is Fun by TJ Daniels May 30, 2011 329 words Read a sample
Author bio:
You don't even have to like poetry to enjoy TJ Daniels poetry. His poetry is dedicated to everyday, down to earth people like yourself in everyday language. You don't need a poem in one hand and a dictionary in the other. Poetry for people that don't even like poetry & those that do. Short & 'To The Point' poetry about heartfelt Love, Life & the heartfelt pain that love can sometimes bring etc. It's been said that TJ Daniels' poetry has a Shakespearean innocence, a gentle tone. His collection of poetry continues to grow, and blossom. Each word opening up like a petal, revealing new delights. Each thorn of pain and sorrow, expressed so beautifully truthful. He brings to light the vulnerability that is accompanied with love. Love is not the only subject that he writes about, but one that everyone can relate to. TJ doesn't own any animals. He doesn't dislike them, he just likes them more if they're owned by someone else.

Uncle Mo's Gastrointestinal Tract by Kimberly Pauley Uncle Mo's Gastrointestinal Tract by Kimberly Pauley May 26, 2011 3917 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Kimberly Pauley is a YA author. Her first book was Sucks to Be Me, a comedic tale for teens (or the young at heart) about a girl with vampire parents who must decide whether or not she wants to be a bloodsucker as well. It was released in 2008 from Mirrorstone. That was followed by Still Sucks to Be Me, a continuation of Mina's story, in 2010. The books have also been released in other languages, including Spanish, Croatian and Czech with French on the way. Her next book, Cat Girl's Day Off, will be coming out in Spring 2012 from Tu Books, an imprint of Lee and Low. You can find her books at bookstores everywhere (especially if you ask) and also on Amazon, though she'd really like it if you bought one from an Independent bookstore to keep them in business. They are, however, also available in audio format and eBook form. You can read an excerpt of each book at her website. The short stories posted here may or may not be for teenage readers, so please read any descriptions first. Some have been published previously (though rights have now reverted back to the author) and others are stories that never had a home (often since Kimberly's short stories tend toward the quirky and/or are not easily pigeon-holed). Be sure to visit her website for giveaways and the latest news!

Aloha. I am a 20year old, aspiring writer. I dont have any finsihed works as of right now, but I'm currently working on .... too many. haha. The best way to describe me is to say that I'm a human version of a Cat. I hate the rain, tolerate people (and those that I do are mine), and tend to think I'm smarter than everyone else. I like to laze around, learn things via books, eat & write. I also adore & could not live without music. I'm currently in love with Oh Land. Right now I'm focusing on a incredibly dark story that hopefully will be posted on here when it is finished. I have just finished my first story. It should be up sometime soon. C'est Le Vie!

The Vampire Castle by Malla Duncan The Vampire Castle by Malla Duncan May 04, 2011 42358 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Born and bred in Cape Town, South Africa, I have been writing since the age of eight. I have a BA degree in Psychology and Communications and my career encompasses creative copywriting in advertising. My short stories have been published in local magazines (winning two competitions along the way). I now focus on novels, writing well-paced chick chillers with good doses of mystery and suspense, as well as fantasy novels for children. Over years of practice, I hope I have managed to hone a style that is spare, well-paced and gripping. I enjoy a plot unraveled, a twist in the tail. I write about flawed, ordinary women who are caught in extraordinary circumstances. Their reactions in these situations are always fascinating because each character approaches problems differently. It's the factor of the unexpected that I like. That's what keeps me writing. Catchee Monkey is a dark, twisted romantic thriller about revenge. A devious and disturbing read that weaves its puzzle right to the end. Dark Sanctuary is a study of obsession, the shocking revelation of madness in the heart of a family. An intriguing read with plenty of suspense to keep those pages turning! Deep As Bone presents my favourite character, Ilsa Joubert. Ilsa has a darkness in her that I find compelling. This story is not only about the revelation of murder, but also about the bitter legacy an unhappy childhood can leave us. Fat Chance is a comedy thriller set on the Amalfi coast in Italy. Milly and Marsha are two fat English ladies who set off for a holiday and find more than they bargain for when they meet up with a serial killer who targets only fat women. The Vampire Castle for children is a quirky, spooky fantasy that that builds as much humor as it does fright. Part of The Shadow Garden series, it begins the extraordinary adventures of Elspeth as she journeys to discover her true identity. One of my passions in life is to produce more literature in English for African children. Fluency in English is key to economic advancement. So take a look at Miki and the Cricket Bat - and Miki and the Boxing Gloves - both fun family reads. I don't write 'down' to children. So the stories are simple but the language sophisticated enough to offer a real learning curve. Enjoy!

Author bio:
Who am I? A children's author. I cover all market sectors from those aimed at the very young (often to be read to them) up to the Young Adult market. All my books slot into specific imprints according to length and target audience. As follows... Snippets - Shorter books aimed at younger readers or adults looking for something to read to them at bedtime. BratReads - No, not books for brats, books that are themselves a little brat-ish. By turns, funny, awkward, anarchic or just a little thoughtful. TeenReads - As the name implies, books for teenagers. Adventurous and rebellious. Next in the series: 'No, Papa'. Interludes - A series of short books aimed at the Young Adult/Crossover audience. Mystical, mysterious and sometimes a little scary, you might want to read these with the light on. Tales of the Night - Full length ghost stories for the YA/Crossover market. Next in the series: 'Heretic'. Anything not included in the above is a stand-alone novel for the YA/Crossover market. One title so far - 'Continuum' - to be followed by 'Mount 37', a dystopian novel set in the uncomfortably near future. All my books subject to translation can now be found here: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/boglebooks/authors#published I may be contacted on ghosthunter457(at)gmail(dot)com

Author bio:
Who am I? A children's author. I cover all market sectors from those aimed at the very young (often to be read to them) up to the Young Adult market. All my books slot into specific imprints according to length and target audience. As follows... Snippets - Shorter books aimed at younger readers or adults looking for something to read to them at bedtime. BratReads - No, not books for brats, books that are themselves a little brat-ish. By turns, funny, awkward, anarchic or just a little thoughtful. TeenReads - As the name implies, books for teenagers. Adventurous and rebellious. Next in the series: 'No, Papa'. Interludes - A series of short books aimed at the Young Adult/Crossover audience. Mystical, mysterious and sometimes a little scary, you might want to read these with the light on. Tales of the Night - Full length ghost stories for the YA/Crossover market. Next in the series: 'Heretic'. Anything not included in the above is a stand-alone novel for the YA/Crossover market. One title so far - 'Continuum' - to be followed by 'Mount 37', a dystopian novel set in the uncomfortably near future. All my books subject to translation can now be found here: https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/boglebooks/authors#published I may be contacted on ghosthunter457(at)gmail(dot)com

Author bio:
I was a primary-school teacher for 15 years. Looking to get back into teaching, either in primary or secondary. I have been writing stories since I was about 5 but only recently thought of publishing. I enjoy travelling: seeing new places and meeting new people. Still an old punk at heart!
