God, dog and Beelzebub	by Gerrard Wlson Jan. 17, 2012	1149 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I am Gerrard T Wilson, the crazymad writer of children's stories. Although my works are primarily aimed at children, adults can and, indeed do, read them with as much interest and excitement. I like to think that my work has a universal appeal, spanning the generations, the sexes and even the continents. I have written so many stories, including 'Tales of the Extraordinary' (short stories with a unique, sometimes chilling appeal), 'Ali-bonkers', 'Fizzy Cherry Cola', and 'The Witches', also 'Forget the Celebrities -Read about My Crazy Life' (weird and bizarre tales from my absolutely crazy-mad life), 'Alice on Top of the World' (a follow on story to Alice in Wonderland, and Through the Looking Glass), 'HARRY, oh, she is a ROTTER (she's bad - and has lost her Magical Marbles), and 'Jimmy, the Glue Factory and Mad Mr Viscous' (Jimmy is trying to stop Mr Viscous from rendering the horses into GLUE). I also wrote 'Nursery Rhymes - MY CRAZYMAD WAY' (my own unique slant on some familiar rhymes), 'My CRAZYMAD Poems' (a collection of strange, oddball, oftentimes bizarre poems, including 'Are you Normal?', 'Conkers Bonkers', 'Louco's Preferred Drink', 'Sparky Parents' , and 'I'm NOT Mad'). There is also 'Bolf' (a Troll whose idea of a having good time is eating empty cigarette packets!). You will also read about 'Fle' (an extremely old elf who lives in a fertilizer mine), 'Fairy Tales' including 'The Three Faerie Sisters', the 'Little Brown Frog', and 'A Christmas Story'. Next up is 'God, dog and Beelzebub' (what (what on earth can that be about?), 'Greengrocer Jack and the Talking Cabbages' (trying to stop a giant Yam from taking over the world), 'Poor Jane', and 'A Punt across the Thames' (I almost drowned that day!). Last, but certainly not least, I also wrote Wot, Nott, Kakuri and the HU BA HOU', a series (three quadrilogies) featuring the oddball Outlanders, Wot and Nott. Instead of giving your child that extra toy for his or her birthday, a book is a far better option. Preferably one of mine, I am sure they will treasure it long after their toys are abandoned at the back of that dusty old wardrobe. Signed: The Crazymad Writer - ARRRGH.
Theo and Fat Terry	by Brian Panowich Jan. 15, 2012	6625 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: Ever since he can remember, Brian has always wanted to write comic books. Thatâ€™s how it started. Â Somewhere around puberty, Rock and Roll started whispering in his ear and took him on a 20 year journey all over the country writing songs and playing them for whoever wanted to listen. Â Songs that told stories. Settling down to start a family took Brian off the road and his songs became short stories and then even bigger. Â For the first time since he was a comic struck little kid, he feels back on track. Heâ€™s currently working on his first novel, A Warm Machine, and the stories keep coming. Â Brian lives in East Georgia with his smokinâ€™ hot wife and their four children. Â He can alsoÂ be found on Facebook and Goodreads, as well as his website Panowich.com

The Forbidden Love of a Monkey and a Pornstar	by Gregory Gregyon Jan. 14, 2012	14403 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I want to write stories that are short enough and simple enough to appeal to people that don't normally read because their attention gets distracted by playstations and internet porn and fluffy bunnies and things, but that also appeal to people who do love to read as much as I love to read. I also want to write b-movies in book form. Monster movies rule. Anyway, hello. Gregory Gregyon is not my real name. It'd be awesome if it was, though.

Duck-N-Cover	by Adelaye Hearst Jan. 13, 2012	1798 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I'm a married thirty something who holds down a job and writes sporadically on the side. I do more reading and writing than I will ever do of cleaning. Besides, who wants to clean when you can use your imagination and have a household of servants doing it for you. I do like to cook, but my husband is lucky if there is food available when a good book is in my hands. A plea from this author: As much as reviews sometimes are painful, I do enjoy constructive criticism. Please leave a review of my work(s) especially, if you really thought they were good:)

Hij heeft voor zijn verhalen onder meer gewonnen de Brugse Boekhandel Fantasy Award, tweemaal de NCSF-prijs, driemaal de Unleash Award, driemaal op rij een nominatie bij de Piet Paaltjens wedstrijd en vier eervolle vermeldingen bij de Amerikaanse Writers of the Future.

Vervolgens werkte hij behalve als wetenschapsjournalist onder andere als robotdeskundige achter de schermen bij de prijswinnende teeveeprogrammaâ€™s Robot Wars (de robotvechtsport die het BBC2 kijkcijferrecord van 6,9 miljoen kijkers haalde) en TechnoGames (de Olympische Spelen voor robots).

Daylight	by Susan Bennett Jan. 12, 2012	2041 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Susan Bennett's first job entailed selling very large knives (think the bowie knife â€“ thatâ€™s not a knife, this is a knife â€“ from Crocodile Dundee) to complete strangers, along with camping goods and other assorted goodies such as replica pistols. Twenty years on, it finally occurred to her to wonder what some of those people wanted those replica pistols for, and she strongly suspects that many of the people she sold handcuffs to werenâ€™t actually buying them as a joke gift, as they said. As such thoughts never entered her young head, she was able to look her customers happily in the eye and smile broadly as she helped them with their purchases, never suspecting that in an hourâ€™s time they would be handcuffed to a bed somewhere. Since then she has worked in a mercantile agency, in technical support in the early days of P.C.s; mostly in administration and once, packing boxes. She feels the less said about that last one the better. She cites Lisa Simpson as her greatest influence. In addition to Grace, she has developed The Cook's Toolkit by Clever Pumpkin. Some of her recent short fiction appears in Overland (203) and Etchings (10.) She is currently considering writing a sequel to Grace and will soon release Trial of the Romance Novelist.

The Mysterious Disappearance of McGrath	by Per Holbo Jan. 08, 2012	2140 words	Read a sample
Author bio: When I was a kid, about 8 yrs. old or so, I would lend at least 25 books at the school library for my summer break. At first my teachers shook their heads in disbelief and they were probably thinking to themselves: he is never going to finish all of those books. But coming back after the summer break, I was always able to give them a detailed review of every single book. Some of those books were trilogies such as Isaac Asimovs "Foundation-" series and "Ringworld." I simply love books and though I like watching a movie just as much as everyone else, reading a book really is something else. By reading a book you construct pictures in your own mind instead of being served by a director. But what I love the most about books is the possibility of finding several layers in the book. Things that you cannot find in a movie can be put into a book, because words can be used in such a way that other kinds of meaning appear or disappear. I write about almost everything and anything, but always with my own speciality of "wry and dry" humor, that is, the kind of humor that attacks a subject head on, but still leaves the reader to think about it. I really hope you will enjoy my books... Wishing you a good reading experience, Per Holbo

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

The Last Simple	by Ray Sullivan Dec. 25, 2011	33373 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Ray Sullivan was born in Flint, north Wales. Just before his 21st birthday he joined the Royal Air Force as an airframe mechanic, intially on a three year term which stretched to twenty four years, that saw Ray posted around the UK, Cyprus, Germany and the Falkland Islands working on various aircraft types ranging from the venerable Hawker Hunter to the battlefield horse, the Chinook. He spent the second half of his military career in the technical training environment, as an instructor, training manager and finally as a project engineer on innovative engineering projects. It was during this period that Ray started to write - initially producing a 2 hour comedy script based on the X Files TV series and a series of short stories. Some of these stories were later revisited and morphed onto full-blown novels, and although the TV script never saw the light of day it proved a useful training ground in writing. In all of Ray's work he has drawn heavily on his military experiences and generally includes a serving or ex serving character to drive his plots forward. Since leaving the RAF Ray has worked in various project roles and has experienced extended periods away from home, periods that provided the time and opportunity to develop his writing style, ultimately producing four full length novels plus a comedic novella to date plus a number of novels that are work in progress. His first full novel, Parallel Lives, based on a short story written in 2000, was completed in 2004. Ray's second novel, The Journeymen, grew out of a short story written in 2002 and completed as an unrecognisably related novel in 2005. The third novel, Skin, was completed in 2007 and his fourth novel, DLF (listed as 'Digital Life Form on Smashwords and affiliated sites such as Apple) was published in 2011. Ray's first foray into comedic writing, The Last Simple, was published at the end of 2011 after being serialised on his blog three times a week for three months. He is currently serialising a longer comedic novel - Project: Evil - on the same blog prior to publication in 2012. All of Ray's books are available on Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes and Noble, Apple iBookstore and other channels in formats suitable for most eReader devices. Ray is currently working on a couple of projects included the sequel to The Journeymen. Ray can be emailed on raysullivan.novels@yahoo.com

The Spirit of Murder	by Pat Noad Dec. 20, 2011	1773 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Pat Noad is an Australian author who divides her time between big city life in Brisbane and getting sand between her toes on the nearby Sunshine Coast, where a lot of her writing happens. Patâ€™s work as a consultant has taken her to all sorts of nooks and crannies of her vast and varied home state of Queensland. She finds herself intrigued by the old stories passing down the generations in this young country, a country which has matured into a sophisticated society so quickly since the First Fleet unloaded its convict passengers just over two hundred years ago â€“ a country which generally looks to the future rather than back over its shoulder. Her stories often find the blazing Australian sun casting dark shadows from the past across the present, and long-dead skeletons rattling in family cupboards. Patâ€™s writing sits at the lighter end of the crime fiction spectrum.

The Chrismystery: A Clarke Quickie	by Brian P Borcky Dec. 19, 2011	18757 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Seamlessly blending his two favorite forms of literary entertainment: comedy and detective fiction, Brian P. Borcky has been writing in various mediums of entertainment for over a decade, since penning his first screenplay at the age of sixteen. Graduating from screenwriting into acting, producing, editing and various other tasks, Brian penned his first novel: I'm Detective Clarke, in the summer of 2011. The Clarke series marks a new direction for the classic private eye novel: R.D. Clarke is the anti-Sherlock Holmes. Though he has the initiative and the heart of the great private eyes in famous lore, Clarke's inexperience is often his downfall, leading him down hilariously dangerous paths. Born and raised in the Philadelphia area, Brian now resides in northwest New Jersey and is working on several film projects -- shorts and features -- for Project Humanoid: the independent production company he co-founded.

The King Fisher	by Shannon Hill Dec. 18, 2011	1351 words	Read a sample
Author bio: The term "Urbangrizzly" was coined by my wife who noted that my work uniform; wingtips, and tie; clashed with the mountainman beard I sported at the time. The "U.grizzly" attitude is best summed up with the following. "You can't just coop a man up in the city, sometimes you gotta let 'em go fish!" Sometimes the best catch is the story itself.
