Author bio:
My name is Samantha. I'm nineteen years old, and I love reading and writing more than anything. It's what I do in all of my spare time, and I'd like to think that I'm good at it. My favorite things to read and write about are Paranormal Romance, but I also like anything with a lot of action, so long as it has a strong heroine, one that I find relatable. I hate Twilight's Bella Swan, because she's whiny, insecure, and stupid. I tend to write strong, independent heroines, ones that all people would love to know. Some of my favorite authors are: Tamora Pierce, J.K. Rowling, Darren Shan, and James Patterson. I've published two books so far, "The Arena Wars", and "The Awakening", both are the first part in their own triologies. I'm working on the sequels now, along with some other books. I love: Werewolves - They're just badass. Tattoo Shows - I love watching people design them. Inkmaster is awesome. Pokemon - Got my first game when I was about six, and I still play them on occasion :) Reading and Writing. I hate: Twilight - The characters are as stupid as the plot. Ignorant People - Some people just talk and talk about people they don't know, and it annoys me. Making good books into terrible movies - "I Am Legend" and "Flowers in the Attic" I'm looking at you.

Ohayo! My name is Sharonna, Ronny for short. I've just started college, majoring is Sign Language. My first passion is creative writing. Stories (and secretly sometimes poetry) are my thing, and my second passion is languages. My dream is to become an international well established interpreter for at least 3 out of the 7-10 languages I plan on studying. I was born in Michigan in 1993. I grew up in Detroit, MI with my close knit, crazy family. I've written multiple short stories, my first being a trilogy called "The Demon Child," which was written in first grade. "Rotten in Denmark" is my first published story, my baby, and I hope to publish at least one hundred more before I'm gone. A writing goal I have is to write a fantasy novel full of everything I've ever loved about fantasy stories I've read over the years. So far I'm good at writing dry, dark humored, suspenseful stories and I love those too.

The story of a boy who became a man named Josh(actually the boy was named Josh, too). His father, a dreaded Canadian pirate named Pierre, swooped in one day to seduce his mother, Angela the Princess of a long lost country(my grandfather was from Greece, but no one even knows where that is). They did things, but that's for their bio, not mine, so we won't talk about that(also, ew, parents, gross). And then, with stars shining in the sky like a twinkling omen of amazing awesomeness, I was born. I went on to greatness immediately, like learning to walk and speak English. Later, having attended a brutal school where they beat the potatoes into an unrecognizable mash if they looked at the teachers funny(then served them for lunch to the students, which is awful), I learned how to survive in the hard streets of New Hampshire. All of that has led me here, to write. With my unique and -real- lifetime experience, I know I have a story to tell and I'm gonna tell it! Except the stories won't have anything to do with me, and they're mostly fun and fantasy and magic and adventure, but isn't that neat? Check them out! They're down there somewhere, just lower your eyes a bit and maybe scroll. I like to use the mousewheel, but you can click the scroll bar buttons or use your arrow keys, too.

I write and edit every day without fail. I began this "dream" during my university days so many years ago. I wrote short stories and lyrics and often shared them with friends. A decade later I tried my hand at screenwriting and actually completed one but never did anything with it. About seven years ago I wrote a fluff story about a business man who falls in love with a Russian woman and somehow the "Russian" theme has crept into a couple of my manuscripts. The book did okay but I never marketed it and lost interest. My love for writing returned as my children grew older and they - without knowing - compelled me to write Jack City as well as Legends of Tanushka. In the next two years I have plans to release four more books

Hi, I'm Nobo13, a writer, artist and publisher rolled into one. The pen name Nobo13 comes from my surname. It reads like the Japanese for climb 'noboru' but it has an extra bit that resembles the number 13- hence we have Nobo13. Additional the part that is 'noboru' is read as 'to publish' in Chinese, so it made sense for me to use it as a self-published author. Other than writing or doodling away, I've found myself strumming away at ukuleles- I highly recommend getting an uke. It's something that brings a smile to a face quite easily, and is itself very pleasing. Please check out my website, it has a lot of features and fun.
