Natural Causes	by James Oswald Feb. 09, 2012	113879 words	Read a sample
Author bio: James began writing comic scripts because he couldn't think of anything better to do. Since then he has written prose in many genres, from SF and Fantasy, through urban fantasy and thrillers on into crime. Natural Causes, his first adventure with Edinburgh-based Detective Inspector McLean, was short-listed for the CWA Debut Dagger in 2007. Its sequel, The Book of Souls was short-listed in 2008. Down the years, James has held a bewildering number of jobs to feed his writing addiction, from international carriage driving competition course builder to web application designer for agricultural research. Nowadays he can be found roaming the hills of North East Fife, where he farms 350 acres, raising Highland Cattle and Romney Sheep.

No Cause to Die For	by David Dilley Feb. 05, 2012	68139 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I grew up in the 60s and spent most of my teenage years playing in rock-n-rolls groups and experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs. I attended college in several locations but after earning over 166 credit hours I never obtained a degree because I changed majors 8 times. Through several people I had known I came to work and live at the PTL property run by the Bakers in South Carolina. After the public downfall of the PTL organization I begin working in the computer field and wound up in a high paying corporate job. I spent 10 years with a major telecommunications company, but was eventually laid off and had to scramble to find work. After the millennium I built a computer service business but watched it fail during the economic downturn. In the most recent past I have lived in a camper at several national parks and on a friendâ€™s property but have not really had a permanent address for at least the last 10 years of my life.
Shadows Of The Night	by Gary Weston Feb. 04, 2012	7850 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Hi. I have had so many admirers after people have seen my picture. (Thank you Darren, but i am basically male and besides, you are a married man. Behave.) Is that really you they ask? I'll level with you. That is a picture of my younger sister!!! I know. Good looks run in the family, usually in the opposite direction. I was 243 on my last birthday, and the last batch of embalming fluid didn't quite hit the spot. If you saw the real me, you too would run a mile. Anyway, I have a twitter account now, which means (I think) people can leave me messages. Happy to get comments about my books. hhtp//unclegarf.wordpress.com. So. I have the third in the series bubbling away, and the lovely Fred Ducket will have some fun. You know me by now. I don't write words. I just write stories. Get stuck in. For anybody who gives a damn, in my face book thing, the black dog is Minnie. The rural scenes are outside my front door. I live in a small town, population 1407 and me, about two hours drive north from Wellington, capital of New Zealand. The Tararua Ranges are close by and they go on for miles, dividing east from west. The Tasman Sea is about twenty minutes away by car going west.Most of my stories are set in NZ, and I think that gives them a different flavour. For anyone reading One Man's Dream, the Turakina Valley is as described in the book, including the 17 acres. I'm from the Midlands in England, originally. I hope you are liking my stuff. I am always happy to get constructive criticism, just be gentle with me. see you on Facebook. Thanks for your support, Gary AKA Shannon Levin.

Next Time We Steal The Carillon - Free Preview of first 27 chapters	by Louie Flann Jan. 07, 2012	43410 words	Read a sample
Author bio: My life is made up of small vignettes where now I only remember the funny, the interesting stuff, and have pretty much forgotten the standing in wet shoes in the snow, the job interviews that I blew, the car not starting and the entire computer network crashing after I just touch, ever so lightly, the WRONG KEY. My formative years were spent on my knees in the corridors of some of the most prestigious schools in suburban Chicago. The nuns tried to break my spirit on a daily basis but I persevered. High school was when I started working on cars, which I still do. Modern chemistry has allowed me to purge my fingernails of the grease from my first Fiatâ€”finally. I studied engineering in college, then I left for the Marine Corp Reserves. I worked on making screws and ladders. When things were still made in America, I made 'em. And, the government gave me two patents for it. I also owned and operated a woodshop and a gift shop sequentially. I stood in front of high school students for years. Unfortunately, I believe, I have profited much more from it than they. In the name of economy, I bought cars that needed work. The terminally ill were saved from the salvage yard just before their last breath. I helped them recapture their youth and usefulness. Some day, I will own a car of this century. Places I've lived: state with most governors in prison (Illinois), state closest to the Arctic Circle (Minnesota), and now paradise (Florida). For the unknowing, Naples FL is paradise. Several of my friends who have died and gone to heaven have said: "Hey, this ain't as good as Naples. I wanna go back." If you forget the balmy temp, there are still the lovely palm trees and flowers that scent and cover every inch of this leisure land. I couldn't have found a nicer place to settle. I'm having a fun filled life with a wonderful wife (my neighbor's) (just kidding) and grown son and daughter-in-law. My son and I still have a good relationship. Just the other day we traded noogies. I am editing a new mystery about a dog, and a volume of short stories and things. My story, Next Time We Steal The Carillon, will be coming out in paperback around the holidays. Pass me my PiÅˆa Colada please. Louie Flann
