Their children have married and “left the nest,” but the cats, Milo and Rajah, still perform daily inspections of the house, while the lab, Jake, guards the deck and back yard. A palomino, a paint, and a POA mare and her young colt rule the pasture. Who knows what games Dan will teach this new foal to play. For over 30 years Dan A. Peterson has been bringing people and books together. Dan is a children’s book author, representative for various educational publishers and co-owner of the Alphabet Station, a parent-teacher center. Holding degrees in both Journalism and English from BrighamYoung University, he has served as curricula evaluator for Behavioral Research Laboratories and the Dallas Independent School District, curricula developer for Thiokol Chemical Corporation, and editor for Harbrace Publications. Dan is the author of various freelance articles, with names such as “Reflections of a Suburban Cowboy” and also dabbles in writing narrative poetry. Dan gained valuable insights into the special characteristics of horses during his childhood in rural Utah, where he rode calves for real silver dollars at the annual Cedar Fort rodeo. He sat on the rail fence for hours studying the wild horses, and many of his mounts were mustangs that had been captured and trained by his uncles. He learned never to underestimate a horse’s intelligence and unique personality. Through a combination of his diversified background, fascination with horses, and the ability to see the world through the eyes of children, a story began to bounce around in his head about “a very unusual colt … who could dance like sunlight on water.” He gave the colt something exciting to do – play soccer with a couple of boys. After that the characters of the story took the reins, and his debut novel, Fergus,The Soccer Playing Colt, came to life.

All the People who Hate You	by Tom Raimbault Mar. 12, 2010	Free!	4337 words	Read a sample
Author bio: He resides in a Chicago-land suburb with his lovely wife and two daughters. He's self-described on his resume as a technology professional, currently working in the telecommunications industry. But there's a side to Tom Raimbault that not many people know or understand. "Why do you know all the weird stuff?" That was an actual comment made by co-worker one day during lunch. He was right; although a technology professional, Tom seems to specialize in knowledge pertaining to the strange and supernatural. Tom cracks a mysterious smile followed by barely controllable laughter. "What is it this time, Tom? Another moose running down the hall? Or are you thinking of eating a frozen arm?" Tom has an active imagination which he often attempts to describe to those around him. But they wouldn't understand if he tried to explain. They couldn't see the mansion filled with grotesque paintings of clowns. They wouldn't see the little boy with an imaginary friend who fondles Mommy while she sleeps. And then there's his unquenchable thirst for the macabre: a world occupied by dolls that come to life, Ouija boards that tell lies, and blood-thirsty, spidery humanoids. Aside from that, Tom Raimbault is a really nice guy with a love for writing. He hopes to become one of your favorite writers of horror and the bizarre. Stay tuned for his upcoming project, The Macabre Happenings of Fictional Mapleview!
Game Freaks 365's PS3 Review Guide	by Kyle Bell Mar. 12, 2010	$6.99	49516 words	Sample 10%
Author bio: I have always been an avid writer. Perhaps that explains why I own and manage three separate websites with all of them dedicated to different subjects. While I am still at the tender age of twenty-one, I like to think that gives me the freedom to write openly and refrain from being overly cynical. Most of my writing deals with current events and politics, although I like to dab into policy on occasion as well. I am in my Junior year of college, studying Political Science at Indiana University South Bend. I call South Bend home, where I was born and raised. I am the recipient of the Indiana Black Expo's Martin Luther King Jr. Award, having won it in an essay contest in 2002 writing about the perils of racial profiling in the wake of 9/11. The following year I was awarded with the Presidential Award for excellence in education. My main interests include writing, working on my multiple websites, keeping tabs on the news, watching sports and being with both friends and family. In 2003, I founded the video game news and review website Game Freaks 365. My interest in politics drove me to create kylebell.com in 2007, a political blog meant to generate ideas and debate on policy as well as current events. In March 2008, I founded a third website, Movie Freaks 365. My main motivation for writing has moved from mostly entertainment critiques to politics. I hope to take my lifelong interest in politics and use it to make a difference in the world. You can call me a dreamer, but isn't that what all writers are anyway?

The Blue Stone	by Randy Noble Mar. 11, 2010	Free!	6927 words	Read a sample
Author bio: My life has been one of finding what I would love to do for a living. I tried university soon after high school, film and video major, but was not ready so I dropped out. I had a strong desire to work in the film industry, in some capacity, for many years. After dropping out of University, I thought I would opt for film school, instead of the drawn out University method of teaching one about making films. But the expense of it turned me off, and it never happened. After a few years of crappy, minimum wage jobs, I needed to do something so I decided to go back to University, but as a Computer Science major. I graduated in 2000 and have worked at a few companies, currently in the health industry as a Programmer/Analyst. It's not something I want to do for the rest of my life, not even close. I always thought it was movies I was interested in, but it is the creation of stories where my passion lies. If I'm not writing it, I'm thinking it, over and over in my head, playing it out. I've written a few short stories and am currently working on my first novel.

Joyful Jumble	by Patrisha Reece-Davies Mar. 11, 2010	$0.99	659 words	Sample 30%
Author bio: Dr. Patrisha Reece-Davies lives in a cottage in Cambridgeshire, England, with her husband and their cat Rufus. She has been a writer and story teller all of her life. She studied English Law to Ph.D and has added writing student text books to her catalogue of skills. As a poet Patrisha has had several poems published and has won competitions. However, full-length works of fiction and character development remain her favourite writing task and no doubt she will go on to provide more, equally beautifully crafted material for a long time to come. When asked to say who she is Patrisha will sometimes answer "I am an analyst - I love to explore and examine ideas, philosophies, thoughts and knowledge!" Other times she will answer "I am a teacher! I am never more happy than when one of my students suddenly grasps a complex piece of new information, or when I get a message from a graduate telling me that the work we did together has helped them to find the way to change their lives for the better." And again, at other times she will tell you that she is a dreamer, a word-smith, and a free spirit who just loves laughter, stories and chasing her imagination to see where it will lead. Like most writers she loves to read - her choice of books knows no bounds and her bookshelves are stuffed with classic literature, fantasy, ancient history, archeology, Elizabethan and even older texts, as well as serious books about law, psychology, maths, economics and much more. Patrisha is elated when readers comment on her work. About Mullery she has received comments such as: "Great storytelling!" - or - "I love a story that starts in the middle and gets you so involved within the first few pages. This one certainly does that and the words flow with ease. Delightfully different and makes you want to read more!" (Thanks Sue - who ever you are it is a joy to give such pleasure.) Patrisha giggled when she heard about the post mistress who was frequently late for work because she could not put the book down, and was beside herself with pride when a lawyer from South Wales said that she was so wrapped up in Mullery and liked him so much that she actually felt jealous of the character Samum who has become Mullery's lost love. By her own admission Patrisha does not seek fame and fortune - she just loves to write and she is glad when others get pleasure from reading her work. So, enjoy . . . oh, and please leave your comments for other readers to share too.

Nazi Germany In An Hour	by Rupert Colley Mar. 11, 2010	$3.49	9997 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: My passion for history is one I share with my older brother. He once complained of the shortcomings of his (now ex) wife, exclaiming, “She doesn't even know about the retreat from Mons.” An extreme example perhaps but I sometimes share his frustration. My 13-year-old son knows, through school, what it was like to be a Victorian servant but, through no fault of his own, would struggle to tell me what century Queen Victoria reigned in, let alone the precise years. It's history without the context. My late father, Born in 1900, whilst Victoria was still on the throne, he was in his mid-60s when I was born. He just missed out on joining the army for the Great War, in his memoirs he talked of his disappointment, “I was itching to go to war,” he wrote, envying the medals worn by boys only months older. I've always felt that surely by 1918 the horrors of war would have replaced its glorification as initially experienced by the 1914 generation. But even given the bravado it illustrates what vastly different worlds my father and I inhabited. The medals did come, however, but from the Second World War. And, as an old man, my father started collecting medals. On his death the collection passed to me. 80 or so medals, from the Crimean War to Northern Ireland and a few Nazi and Soviet ones along the way. My favourites were the ones with the rank, name and number of the recipient etched around the rim. Who were these brave men, what did they do to get these medals? I share my name with a not-so great Victorian general, Sir George Pomeroy Colley, who in charge of the British army in 1881 managed to lose the First Boer War. Perched up on Majuba Hill, he gave instructions not to be disturbed – he was having an afternoon nap. Meanwhile the Boers crept up the mountain and poor old Colley was shot through the head, the battle was lost and ultimately the war. We had his biography on our shelves but I'm not sure whether he was a direct relative but as a child I certainly believed it. And from these disparate influences grew my fascination with history and war.
