| Author bio: As a mom, wife, and daughter of God, Heidi lives an ordinary life in the Midwest. Married almost 18 years to the one who holds her heart, she homeschools their youngest daughter having sent their two older children to private and public schools for the first time this year. 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. She has also prayed many friends through the horrific battle of breast cancer. Her life is richer for the gift of these friends. Her busy schedule belies the the simple truths that form the foundation of her life: faith, grace, gratitude, generosity, and love. In some form or another, Heidi has imagined, shared, told, and written stories for as long as she can remember. Being called to share her stories has been a journey out of the ordinary. The Secret of Counting Gifts is her first published novel. Immensely grateful for her gift to craft words into stories that move readers from laughter to tears and back again, she is quick to credit the Creator for her talent. She continues to count her God-given gifts everyday. More of Heidi's thoughts, stories, and a collection of her Bible studies for children can be found on her blog, withthankfulhearts.blogspot.com. |

NFR | by TIZIANA GUGGINO Jan. 28, 2012 | 37257 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Scrivere per me è come leggere un libro non letto nel senso che io sono la prima lettrice di me stessa. La scrittura mette nero su bianco le immagini e le parole dettate dalla voce del mio "io narrante". Non ho un genere: seguo la mia ispirazione. Il mio primo romanzo, intitolato "LA GABBIA DEI LEONI" (EDIZIONI ETS, 2005) è stato recensito da Giuseppe Pederiali su Italia Oggi del 20/07/2005. Tra le mie opere: "UNA STRANA COINCIDENZA" (Di Salvo Editore, 2003), "Sprofondati nell'incubo" (Antologia Eco-grafie - La memoria, Di Salvo Editore, 2005, "L'incontro" (Antologia Caffè Ristoro , Edizioni ETS, 2006) e, su www.ilmiolibro.it, "L'ARCHIVIO" (2008), "MESSAGGI DALL'IGNOTO" (2008), "MENTRE IL CIELO CADEVA - Quel giorno a Manhattan" (2008) e "VOLEVO FARE LA PIPI' IN PIEDI" (2009). Vivo tra Pisa e Milano dove esercito la professione di Dottore Commercialista. Attualmente, sto scrivendo un racconto e due romanzi. Curiosi? |

Miracle Mutt | by Rita Villa Jan. 15, 2012 | 1890 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I have been creating things for as long as I can remember. Everything from paintings and sculptures to novels. Creativity is such an important part of my life that I can't imagine not getting up every day with some artistic project to do. Writing a novel had always been a goal of mine but I never actually sat down to do it until 2007 when I wrote The Cat Factory. After that I was hooked. Next came Hope Is Contagious, Ripples and God doesn't make junk. For years I studied spirituality and had just finished getting a masters in the Paranormal, therefore I wrote about spiritual transformations. My goal was to help people. It always has been. And I truly hope any of my stories will help you, if not in a spiritual way, then just to enjoy. After years of writing about spirituality I wanted to try something different. My friends tease me and say that I've gone over to the dark side. Not really. Though my newest novel, The Contraption, does explore the dark side of human nature it also brings in my love for the paranormal and some really strong spiritual ideas, like watch what you think about, it may come true. Writing The Contraption was so much fun and I hope anyone who reads it will have fun, get scared, wonder and be immersed in something new and different. After all, that's really what it's all about. Like my stories, the paranormal has many sides. There's the happy, spiritual side. The realm of miracles, angles, life after death, hope, healing, wonder and love. On the other side of the paranormal there's mystery, intrigue, and the unknown. It brings in magic and psychics and witches and black cats. It makes you wonder and question. I guess that's what I love about it most. In the end the paranormal is something that can never be proven to exist or not to exist. Whether it lifts you up and makes you feel good or it scares the heck out of you, hopefully it entertains you! |

Travis | by Lavinia Thompson Dec. 21, 2011 | 3571 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I am a 22 year-old hippie who is just discovering what life really is. My heart is entrenched in novel writing. I am pursuing a dream of being a full-time novelist. It's the beginning of a journey that I have always dreamed of. I have risen from a dark childhood of domestic violence. I faced that monster in my closet and am now writing about it. I watched my mother be tortured for almost ten years. I stood before the remnants of the house her ex burned down in a drunken rage. I lived with the aftermaths and the damage it did in the years that followed. Now, I am chasing dreams and living my life to the fullest.Through my writing I want to be an advocate for domestic violence and child abuse, to speak out and be a voice. I am engaged to a wonderful man I met while working on the college newspaper. I am a journalism grad, a journalist, a sister younger and older, a daughter to a survivor of a mother and my angel daddy, a niece and a soon-to-be wife. I have been writing since I could put a pencil to paper it seems. My first writings were short stories rewriting fairy tales in ways I envisioned them to play out. Poetry was something that intrigued me in junior high school. An interest in Shakespeare came in high school when I attended an outreach school in grades 11 and 12. I was permitted to study on my own and got to drift around with different areas on top of the curriculum already in place. Shakespeare and forensics became the two main things I studied there. It was through Shakespeare's MacBeth and an essay assignment that I got interested in the witch hunts and trials of the 16th and 17th centuries, igniting the idea for the Spellbound series. In 2011, I set a goal. After graduating from college, I set out to publish two of my books. One is my poetry book about domestic violence and child abuse, "She Wasn't Allowed to Giggle" and the other is the first in a series, "Spellbound by Fire." My poetry book was self-published back in September and "Spellbound" was published in December. With that goal out of the way, I am setting my sights once again on my journalism career while trying to make it big with publishing my books. |

'Finding Your Road to Success' is a must-read for anyone who needs a shot of optimism.

It’s a Celebration | by Cynthia Meyers-Hanson Dec. 13, 2011 | 36770 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: My favorite question during book interviews is: How did you get started? The short answer is that my mother died. Some people dream of being authors; my writing began as what could be described as a nightmare! HOWEVER- as she died, mom’s experiences ran the gamut from going through all the grieving steps a terminal soul follows to having what would be called a Christian Near Death Experience (NDE). When most of her messages from God panned out, people in my area buzzed with the story of my parent’s death. My witness became my first book entitled Mom’s on the Roof and I can’t Get Her Down. After that, I completed seven Christian based, inspirational nonfictions. Changes were coming! Due to a genealogy study, after meeting with some cousins at a local grave yard, I wrote my first novel. Talk about relatives coming out of the woodwork when they think you are famous. I am jesting- of course! My relatives handed me some incredible family secrets asking me to compile a book. I agreed but only if it could be a fiction with tons of poetic license. To date, I’ve released four novels. Then, the really fun writing started. Last year, while working for free at my daughter and her husband’s Christmas tree lot, I blogged my experiences. My encounters that holiday led to my first children’s book ‘Frasier the Fir is Forever Green.’ There are, now, five unique, picture books to choose from. FYI: one of the titles feed homeless and impoverished children through its royalties. |

Doubt and Reassurance Volume II | by Don Ray Dec. 11, 2011 | 28086 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Some degrees in physics, some time in research laboratories and thatched hut villages, some teaching in universities and management in international technology: all sound like credentials to lend credibility to the role of author. But such experiences provide only tools and terminology and opportunity, not wisdom and insight. You and I share the same foundation for whatever wisdom and insight we may glean out of life, the joys and grief, the celebrations and hunger that make up daily living. I hope through this book my knowledge of physics and funerals, science and spirit, quanta and cultures, can help you bridge the illusory gap between intellect and heart. If so, that will happen not through transfer of wisdom, but through an opening of windows to allow realization of your own wisdom. Questioning "what" and "how" led me to universities and degrees in physics. Questioning "why" led me to cathedral and temple and mosque. I have been blessed to learn from a winner of the Einstein Award and from village shamans. But such learning seems inconsequential in comparison to life's lessons: the grim look on the face when after the wreck you ask "will she be OK?"...the feel of the hospital sheets after the stroke...and every warm embrace and authentic smile and sincere welcome. I am grateful to professors and priests, research centers and jungle shrines. But they provide only the paint color to be applied to the structure built of the scope of real life, built of pets and people, love and loneliness, homes and hospitals. I pray my degrees and travel, survival and losses that led to my books can bring a little light to your very real life and reveal to you the brightness of your heart's wisdom and the Source awaiting our discovery. |

The life you want | by Dana Logue Dec. 03, 2011 | 20144 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Having learnt that your thoughts create your life, authors Tom and Dana went a step further to discover why they are so difficult to change and control. What they found was that thoughts alone mean nothing, that it’s the belief they hold that is creating the thoughts and in turn causing the emotions they feel. Having explored their own personal beliefs, they came across where the conflict between where an individual is and where he or she what's to be is that the belief is clashing with the desire, and then causing unwanted thoughts and emotions. Tom and Dana's investigation of their own beliefs, thoughts and emotions has been a fun journey rather than struggle and pain, which they both give credit to the journey laid out in their book. Tom was born and raised in Northern Ireland on a cattle farm. He attended University for Civil Engineering. He wrote 'the life you want' at age twenty-seven. Dana was born in the northern city of Canada, Fort McMurray. Having Irish parents her family moved back to Ireland for a short while and then later settling back in Canada. Dana did some travelling around the world. She wrote 'the life you want' when she was twenty-seven. Tom and Dana both live in Calgary, Canada. |

Yo Vengo, Volumen 4 | by Susan Davis and Sabrina De Muynck Oct. 28, 2011 | 86716 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: This bio is about both Susan and Sabrina. Around 2007 or so, the LORD brought together two people from two different parts of the globe, one in the U.S. and the other in Belgium. Sabrina, Belgium, and I, Susan, U.S. became friends because I had posted some information about GOD online and I received an email from her about it. I was involved in church outreach at the time and she was having struggles in a very secular region of the world with outreach. I felt the LORD wanted me to support her as she and I both struggled with issues of outreach in our communities, thus began a wonderful friendship, but we did not know that GOD had bigger plans for our lives. Sabrina had the unique gift of being able to hear the voice of the LORD and I totally believed and supported her gift. Then recently she let me know that the LORD had a gift for me, I soon found out that the gift was also hearing the voice of the LORD, I started to write down letters HE gave me recently and I have been filling many notebook pages. The messages are very, very serious, the LORD told us we needed to get these messages out without delay–so here are the letters I received, you can read more about us at the bottom of this message. Please pass this message on to whomever you think needs to read this. Then I, Sabrina, asked the LORD what about your, Susan’s, letters: “I have spoken to her so she might learn to understand MY Voice. Send the word out about MY soon coming. Don’t be shy about a thing. The world must get penetrated with MY words. Everybody must know that I am coming very soon. Many do know, but are not ready. Therefore send out MY words! Send them out & don’t be shy about a thing.†Then the LORD said: “This refers also to you, me, Sabrina, MY daughter, don’t be shy about a thing any more. Do it soon!†Our personal background info: Hello. MY name is Sabrina. Let me introduce myself a bit. I became a Christian in 1992. God has done a huge job in me concerning emotional recovery. It has been an intense, difficult, painful and long journey, but it has led to an intense wonderful intimate friendship with God. God has been MY perfect counselor. He has treated me with His tender care, wisdom and especially a lot of patience. God’s heart’s desire was and is intimacy with His children and this also became MY heart’s desire. I learned to hunger and thirst for everything from Him. I learned to worship Him in all MY circumstances, no matter how I felt. I learned to have a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and I discovered that it was He who spoke to me in MY mind. I created a deep respect for Him and invited Him every day in MY prayers to fill and lead me completely. I did everything not to hurt Him. One day in 2006 God started talking to me about His soon coming. The Lord has also told me that the fact I always hear His Voice, is His gift of grace for me. Later I understood that this gift would also be used in the prophetic and encouraging field for other people. But the principal of this gift was, that He would use me in this end-time to speak about His soon coming. In April 2008 God told me it was important to spend much time with Him. This desire grew also in MY heart more and more and the Lord said to me that this was also His desire and His Holy Spirit’s. From then on I put a number of specific days for Him separately during the week. I filled these days with prayer, Bible reading, reading books, listening to good Bible studies on the internet, worship, etc. But it also happened that the Holy Spirit urged me to go to evangelize to someone. Heaven is too real for me, time too short and the exhortations of the Lord too strong for something else to do. On January 6 2010, I had a prophetic rapture dream. Though I was engaged much in these matters, I had not received many rapture dreams. This was MY second. The Lord explained that His Coming will be sudden, with great power, followed by immediate panic and chaos. On May 25 2010, God gave me an important dream of the bride. The explanation was this: “It is important for MY Bride to prepare herself. Behold, I come quickly and then there will be no more time to make up. MY Bride must prepare now. Be ready! I am ready. “God spoke in a serious tone! On July 9 2010, God gave me an encouraging word. Here is an excerpt from the letter: ‘MY dear daughter, write it down. Know that everything here is as good as ready. There is nothing stopping ME to come for MY bride. Everything is ready. The table for the eternal marriage stands ready. The angels are on post. Everyone is rejoiced & enthusiast! Oh what a joy it will be when I come for MY bride! I want you to encourage each other with these words. It is only the grace of MY Father who holds the sound of the trumpet. Millions of people are still lost.‘ In all those years, I have received many confirmations whenever the Holy Spirit talked to me, through the bible, books or other people’s testimony, preaching, teachings. MY only goal is to be completely obedient to Him. MY days are completely for Him, as I don’t go to work. I keep praying for everyone I witness to, take daily communion, just spent all MY time for & with the Lord. Thank you for taking the time to read all this, so you know MY walk with Him is serious. May the Lord bless you all!
