2 Kingdoms: Invasion | by Harry H. Hawkins, June 25, 2011 | 2133 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Harry H. Hawkins, III was born in Washington D.C. in January of 1979 where he lived until he was four years old. He always had an active imagination and a love for science fiction and fantasy. As a testament to that fact Harry created his first unique character when he was in the sixth grade. Over the next few years Harry continued to draw new characters, a skill that his father helped him develop, fueling his passion for creation. When he was fifteen, Harry made a drawing that would alter his life; he drew all of his current characters in one setting engaged in combat. Later that night he made a story to explain why the interactions between the characters were taking place and the significance of those relationships. Thus was the start of the 2 Kingdoms Saga. For the next few years through high school Harry continued to draw and create new characters. While attending Emory University, he had an epiphany: he loved to write and he had created just over two hundred unique characters all with names and a part to play in his story that now stretched three generations. It was at this time that he decided to share the world of the Anakim with the world. Debating over what media to use to tell the story, Harry finally decided on writing a book. He realized during his time in college that he could write better than he could draw and so set down with pen and paper and started his first draft. Many years later Harry has completed numerous written works and currently resides in the Metro Atlanta area with his children Harry J. and Kaye and continues to write adding to the 2 Kingdoms Universe. |

2066 | by Peter A. Brandt March 10, 2012 | 68941 words | Sample 25% |
| Author bio: It only takes a few minutes of thought before Peter Brandt can devise a scenario that would make a fantastic story, and minutes after that before it begins to fill itself in. “I have been able to think up stories all my life but it’s only been in the last seven years that I realized I was abusing my creative side by not writing them down.†Peter retired from the Air Force and began a new career as a Technical Writer. His writing abilities have allowed him to work in Canada, the United States and even in the Middle East. However, its Peter’s love for stories that has brought him into a new realm of writing. His humorous memoir about his life as a soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces and the tragic memoir about his father’s life in a Prisoner-of-War camp at the age of 14 allowed him to refine his writing before he began to venture in writing Young Adult fiction. “I have a very unique way of creating my stories. It begins with a craving, like a smoker who just recently quit cigarettes but still feels an overwhelming craving for a smoke. When that comes, I can’t shake it until I sit down and begin to let my mind wander. Many times I start my quest for a new story by wondering - What If. Soon after I begin to write and can usually get the first draft completed within a few weeks. Maple Express began as a “what if†question that involved a common held belief of the medical community and I’d share it with you but it would give away the storyline.†Peter has taken formal lessons in acting, "I've enjoyed some success as an actor in television and film before my day job as a Lead Technical Writer required me to move out of the country I always write my stories as I see them on the movie screen, which is why writing screenplays are also something I do with ease. I have written a couple of screenplays and shot them as short films with a friend of mine. I can honestly say I have landed in the perfect job for me. I love to write...doesn’t really matter what I write, creatively or technically, writing is a pleasurable experience. It has allowed me to travel and for that I am grateful.†|

3 Phaze | by Mathew Bridle June 05, 2010 | 94865 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I was born in West Sussex, England in 1963 and began to show an interest in story telling at the age of 10 when I filled an exercise book with a single story. In the early 1990’s I began to write poetry, that’s what I called it, and wrote around 100-150 poems over the next two years. One poem gave me the idea for a story which became my first novel ‘The Rising’ a horror story. From then on I just kept writing: 3 Phaze – sci-fi, Lagoon – X-files style, King of Kings which became Emun of Mor was short fantasy in the style of the King James Bible, The Boy From Nowhere – sci-fi. Mark – unfinished Emun of Mor Lo the Prophet The Cord – current title. I tried many times to find a publisher but had no idea what I was doing. So as the internet grew I self published the first three on lulu.com, later on Smashwords.com where they are free. As luck would have it I found Vamplit Publishing, an indie publisher that was looking for new work so I sent them a link to my website where they could get a sample and forgot all about it until the request came through for the rest of the book. A year later I was looking at the cover art and being told that the ebook would out soon. |

8810 | by Nicholas Taylor April 08, 2010 | 32202 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Hi, I’m Nick Taylor, I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, possibly the greatest place on earth. I went to Dakota Ridge High and was in band— that’s right I was a band nerd and no, I don’t have any cool “one time at band camp†stories, so don’t ask. I started writing in October of 2007. I was driving around with a friend and said “hey, I wonder if I can write a book.†So I thought I’d try and write outline and see what happens. Well, I finished the outline and I couldn’t just stop there. I needed to write chapter one and then that would be it. Do you see where this is going? Anyway, after chapter one was done, I had to finish the first book. But I wanted to get input as I went in order to write a better story. I decided to do a podcast of the first three chapters to see what people thought. After the first podcast, I decided that I wanted to continue to do it and more over, I wanted to get a larger listener base. It's all been a wonderful journey from there. |

Instead, I want readers to discover the little pieces of my reality hidden in my writing. what i will tell all of you at Smash-words is that i am actually an 18 yo american girl with a passion for Asian cultures; Korean and Japanese to be more specific hints my pen name taken from my two favorite animes. I love baking one day I want to open up my own pastry shop/bookstore/internet cafe. I also have a knack for the impractical and an flair for being the odder half of an odd pair, though i am rarely in relationships at all. I am a closet pervert as a result of being hopelessly single. My favorite authors have managed to combine culture, sex and passionate romance all into wonderful literary works. If asked if i have a preference there cannot be one. I am happy as a bisexual; i would positively love to have an inter-sexed girlfriend and other than my hands and mouth i am a virgin. I have never really told that to anyone before. I will be here, sigani heulleodo |

A Different Sort of Life | by Finnian Valko Sep. 21, 2011 | 9187 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I suppose I'll be honest and say I don't like to talk about myself a whole lot. That's probably because I almost never know exactly what to say. But because I know you've taken the time to come to my page and potentially bought a book of mine, I'll give it a shot just for you. For starters I think I can honestly say I'm pretty young for being an author. Writing is kind of an outlet for me. It lets me express myself and my views on things indirectly. Perhaps that is why I enjoy it so much. I can actually give out my opinions while entertaining the reader. Actually I think I'm even better at getting my point across when I'm writing a story than when I'm discussing it directly. I hope if you've read my work that you've enjoyed it, and if you haven't then please feel free to check it out. If you'd like to learn more about me, feel free to check out my blog or Twitter feed. If you're feeling daring you can even friend me on Facebook! Thanks again! |

He claims to be a sailor in addition to identifying himself as an author of adult and young adult fiction. The stories of Wilson James mostly target Young Adults, and describe adventures about family, loyalty, honor, tenacity and courage with various backdrops including sailing, aquatics, downhill skiing, international competition, and success at young ages, set in Europe and North America. As Wilson says, his books are about empowering youth. “If my stories help young people, by giving examples of kids persevering in difficult situations, then I will be very satisfied. If my stories help young people overcome their own challenges, and perhaps find some inspiration, then I will be happy. If my stories help young people find the tenacity and courage to succeed in their own lives, then I will be very pleased. If my stories help achieve some better understanding among friends and families, then I will consider myself fulfilled.†Wilson describes the ultimate reward for writing. “If even one young person finds some example in one of my books that he or she can use in their own life, then I will consider that every moment I spent writing those books was the best possible way to spend that time.†His YA fiction book A FAMILY LEGACY: THE WATSON WORKS made it into the second round of the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award. Another of his titles, PLAYING THE BASEBALL CARD, was reviewed as a "Great Book" and "Very Inspiring" and for more than a year has maintained a sales rank well into the top 1% at Barnes and Noble.

A Guest for Halloween: A Lex & Ricky Mystery | by William Henderson Oct. 29, 2010 | 21113 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I have come to understand that happiness is a byproduct of working at something you enjoy and not a goal in itself. It can be anything, a sport, musical instrument or hobby, as long as it takes effort and discipline. Some time ago I realized that one of the things that truly made me happy was writing. Anything that gets people, especially young people to read is wonderful. However, it is tragic that we have separated and withdrawn from the real world to such an extent that we no longer see the mystery and wonders of nature that are our birthright. The Lex & Ricky Mysteries are meant to expose young people to the wonders of the natural world and our collective native heritage. An awareness of sustainability issues is provided along with questioning the cost of trading away our inheritance for short lived "prosperity," often to people who do not live in our communities. Most people cannot possibly imagine the rich natural and spiritual life they are denying themselves. |

It is this background combined with a vivid imagination that has enabled him to weave a tapestry of magic into complete novels. His first epic fantasy series, aimed at young adults, is entitled 'The Southern Lands'. However, the storyline is more than exciting enough to keep adults turning pages as the story unfolds. Paul is currently working on several other projects and hopes to release a couple of new books later in 2011. For up to date information on his projects, please read his blog which is linked below. |

| Author bio: I have been married to my wife for thirty years. I have four adult children and one grand child. I live in the picturesque region of the Mornington Peninsula, a full one one hour drive from Melbourne Australia. I draw my inspiration for my novels and short stories from the Australian culture, and from my diverse family history. I have now finished Legendary blue diamond/romance adventure. The story is set in the Australian outback in the year 1850. Bushrangers rob a woman of her guns and the rare blue diamond ring. She hunts them down to take back what they stole. On her journey Jessica falls in love. His name is Lightening Dawn. Kiss on the bridge/ romance adventure can be upload for free on smashwords.com Quick blurb: If you were standing alone on a bridge at midnight on new-years-eve and a tall handsome stranger walked up to you and asked for a kiss, how would you react? I have brought forward the sequel to Kiss on the bridge. Same characters. Hopefully in three months the novel will be finished. I have spoken to my cover designer. He had a few ideas as we spoke. At this time the title is a secret. The perfect gift/romance adventure is set in the Australian outback in the year 2010. Blood red rose is a vampire adventure romance. For a short free romance story; Kate and Ben. He stepped from my dreams.
