John Smith, World Jumper Book One: Portal to Adventure by E. Patrick Dorris John Smith, World Jumper Book One: Portal to Adventure by E. Patrick Dorris Nov. 04, 2008 63937 words Read a sample
Author bio:
In my forty something years I have generated a very broad set of experiences and interests, but through it all, I have always read. It seems that at times it is harder to find books that enthrall me, although admittedly I am behind on my reading, so I decided to start writing the kind of stories I'd want to read. I have always had stories in my head, they intrude at the strangest times. At some point, I discovered that when I took the time to write them down, more stories kept pouring out. There are so many ideas I have, it seems like there won't be enough time to get to them all. I'm starting with one story, in one particular style. But other stories, in different styles are coming. Stay tuned. My goal in writing is above all to entertain. Thank you in advance for giving me that opportunity.

Author bio:
I love a good story, and I love a good joke. These two factors are my biggest influences. My writing is story telling interconnected through jokes. My debut book No Cure for Nature is a comical environmental adventure which explores the personification of Mother Nature rebelling against humankind in a whirlwind of puns, wordplay and heroism. My background is in Environmental Engineering which is where my strong fascination with environmental issues comes from. I am still unaware where my love for puns was born, and story telling most likely stems back to Sesame Street.

Thanks for your feedback, and happy to hear from readers. You can also contact me via the jetty journals website.

Right Ascension by David Derrico Right Ascension by David Derrico Nov. 16, 2009 74436 words Read a sample
Author bio:
David Derrico was born just north of Miami, Florida, and developed his appreciation for complex moral issues while receiving a degree in philosophy from the University of Florida in Gainesville. He wrote his first novel, Right Ascension, before attending law school at the University of California, Berkeley School of Law (Boalt Hall). Right Ascension was first published by Bookbooters Press in 2000, and garnered its inaugural eBook of the Year Award. Derrico wrote his second novel, Declination, during law school, while he was probably supposed to be studying. Nonetheless, he graduated, passed the California Bar Exam, and worked as an attorney at a large, international law firm in Los Angeles for several years. While practicing law (all that practice actually made him pretty good at it), he managed to write some short stories and start work on his third novel, The Twiller. Recently, Derrico retired from his “day job” as a big-firm attorney and moved back to South Florida, where he finished that third novel. The Twiller follows the (mis)adventures of an unlikely hero and his unique companion on a comic romp around the galaxy. Derrico maintains a website with reviews, excerpts, current news, a blog, and purchasing information for all of his novels and other works at www.davidderrico.com.

Author bio:
About Myself: Born in 1960, it can be said that I was born into one of the more interesting periods in our history. Forty-nine years on, I can certainly say that I have led an interesting life. Factory hand, soldier, technician, labourer, manager, ambulance officer, corrections officer- just to name the main jobs - I think I can truly call myself a jack-of-all-trades It’s been up and down all the way- see-sawing between dirt poor and well-off- in the peak of fitness to near dead a couple of times. I have worked with many fine individuals and many of New Zealand’s worst. I have seen very ordinary people succeed beyond all expectations and watched those destined to do great things fall and loose everything. Working in areas like defense, corrections and ambulance you get a real insight into how people act and react under the most extreme of circumstances. Along the way I got to use a lot of really interesting bits and pieces- the Army was good for that- if a new piece of kit came through the workshops- it wasn’t hard to convince somebody that you needed to try it out! This was a useful background for somebody who wishes to write tales of adventure… Now, like most, I have settled into a quieter life of family and work, with adventure left in the past- although it comes to visit from time to time. I wish it wouldn’t! As life slowed down a little, from the needs of raising a family and an accumulation of old injuries, I started to amuse myself in a fantasy universe distilled from the many tales I had absorbed over the years- this beats the hell out of morning radio while stuck in traffic! This stepped up a gear after a bad car smash left me recovering from multiple injuries over two years. From this period came ‘Meddlers in Time’- my escape from the realities of my life. Writing this story down probably saved my sanity! Nowadays, I’m back at work- spending more time than I would like keeping the local water supplies working. Once a week I get my six-guns out and shoot up a bit of paper and steel plate. Twice a year I fire up my still and run a few gallons of moonshine, although I drink more coffee than whiskey these days. The rest of the time I spend as an indentured servant to my wife and two boys. I’m occasionally described as a grumpy old sod and a know-it-all, with an opinion on EVERYTHING! I try to live up to that. I like the simple pleasures of red meat, black powder smoke, Islay whiskey and the occasional good Dominican cigar- all to be savored in the outdoors. My beliefs are staunchly libertarian- each to their own if they harm no other. I believe that politicians, lawyers, busy-bodies and do-gooders are like salamis- greatly improved by hanging for a time. My writings continue as time permits. UPDATE: Ask me a question or find out more about Meddlers in Time, search 'Meddlers in Time Blogger' I used to have a link here,but for technical reasons, can't put it in my Bio without upsetting some of Smashwords partner sites!

After Life: Love by Patrick Lee After Life: Love by Patrick Lee May 31, 2010 97380 words Read a sample
Author bio:
After losing both parents, I floated around for a few years until I was old enough to be on my own. I survived another 5 years traveling between cities, finding all the spots to get free food and sleep in a free bed, until I ended up in Las Vegas. In a city that never shuts down, there is no shortage of places to spend days and nights, and tourists are easy targets for making some good money. Night provided the perfect opportunity to improve my lifestyle, and when the sun roasted the desert, I hid out and banged away on a story that had haunted me for years. What started as a series of stories with nothing in common fell together with one common element...death. Once that piece of the puzzle hit me, the rest of it poured out onto the pages. A few rewrites later, and the After Life story begins. I hope you enjoy it, and let me know what you think...

Legacy by LC Cooper Legacy by LC Cooper June 28, 2010 68245 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Lady Chatterly Cooper, or LC Cooper as she became known, remains a Lady of the '80s. Pink high-tops (autographed by Rick Springfield) and checkerboard waffle Vans (a la "Fast Times at Ridgemont High") complement her ensemble of Jane Fonda leg warmers and Madonna junk jewelry. Because she's no longer perky and petite, parachute pants are a necessity and not a lingering fashion statement. She maintains her own sense of style and grace. Her daughters, Tiffany, Farah, and Demi, and her sons, Milli, Vanilli, and Bruce don't think so. Disenchanted that she wasn't "discovered" while a groupie for Culture Club, Wild West and Wham, LC set a course for self respect and began writing. Her first book was a biography about that lovely couple, Sean Penn and Madonna. Although the project tanked, LC caught the writing bug. Gone were the days of scrawling invitations on men's-room walls. LC hit the big time when Thunderbox Press published her kiss-and-tell exposé entitled, "Speedo Libido." Although some washed-up rockers found humor in it, ("Yeah, I shagged her," Rod Stewart supposedly said, "but who didn't I bang in the '80s?"), others, such as PeeWee Herman ("she was too old for me") and George Michael ("she doesn't even look like a dude") might have been offended. VH1 canned the TV series based on the book when a test audience preferred to see Ozzy flitting around his house in a dress instead of watching LC's aged, saggy boobs flop around in her red one-piece swimsuit in slow motion on camera. Once again trashed by the music industry, brokenhearted LC withdrew from the limelight and bought a secluded ranch in The Everglades. Not able to grow much in all that muck, the stinking goo inspired her second novel, "Stick in the Mud." This satire chronicled the price-fixing practices of the Recording Industry Association of Antarctica. Thumbing its nose at consumers, governments, and free-trade around the world, the RIAA fought to suppress "Stick in the Mud." Written from a male point-of-view, the book details how the RIAA takes the consumer up a dark and dirty path where no woman can go. These days, LC enjoys spending long weekends with her David Hasselhoff inflatables. Whenever her dolls are worn out, LC manages the writing careers of her six children. When that happens, they buy her more dolls. ###

The Mary Dear - Free eBook Sampler by Alfredo de Gallegos The Mary Dear - Free eBook Sampler by Alfredo de Gallegos July 18, 2010 38884 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Born in 1942 in El Salvador of a Salvadorian father and Costa Rican mother. His father died in 1948 and his mother returned with her young family to Costa Rica to live with her parents and there they stayed until her appointment in 1955 as Costa Rica’s Ambassador to England. That same year, his mother travelled to London to take up her position accompanied by Alfredo and his younger brother. In 2008, after a long and varied working life, redundancy forced him to retire and he decided to indulge a long-held ambition to write a book. Alfredo duly sent a partially written first draft, which, with Caffeine Nights Publishing's help and encouragement and that of Alfredo’s wife and family, eventually led to his first published novel, Mary Dear. Asked what he likes, Alfredo will readily admit to being an avid reader. He speaks his native Spanish as well as English, Italian and, what he calls, a modicum of French and loves to read in all those different languages. His tastes include all types of fiction, the classics and biographical works of all kinds. Alfredo lives in Surrey with his wife and has a grown-up married daughter and a newly acquired grandson whom, he says, has brought him and his wife a brand new lease of life.
