	Joatman	by Richard Alan Dickson Sep. 06, 2010	$0.99	4604 words	Sample 50%
	Author bio: Before becoming a full-time fiction writer, Rick spent nearly twenty-five years in Corporate America. After a hungry stint as a fresh-faced, straight-from-college stockbroker, he set aside the glamour of Wall Street, along with the thousands of friends he’d made during dinner-hour cold calls, for a career as an Accounting Assistant in the Seattle office of a large reinsurance company. Once on the corporate ladder, Rick proved that his many childhood years spent climbing trees hadn’t been a complete waste of time by quickly climbing to the position of department manager. But corporate winds are no less predictable than any other type of wind, and climbing in the wind is never a good idea. Rick suddenly found himself on the wrong side of the country when his company was forced to scale back its operations ten years later. They regrouped in New England. He remained in the Northwest. Waving good-bye to the moving vans as they motored down the road and disappeared into the distance, Rick carefully considered his next career. He became a corporate consultant and ran himself happily ragged for the next nine years. Traveling the country and racking up more frequent flyer miles than even a CPA could conveniently count, Rick helped his clients work through a variety of business issues, including liquidity problems, external reporting matters, process mapping, and workflow concerns. Rick’s final years in Corporate America were spent at one of the major insurance groups. As a VP, Controller, and then an acting CFO, he traveled from one coast to the other putting the lessons he’d learned during his time as a consultant to good use. His current career as a fiction writer takes him to places much further away than any cross-country jetliner ever could, and he seldom needs to leave his writing loft to get there.

	Need to Know	by Christine Merrill Aug. 12, 2010	$2.99	80492 words	Sample 25%
	Author bio: Once upon a time, many years ago, when her two boys were small, and she was a stay at home mom, Christine Merrill decided it was time to fulfill her childhood dream and become a writer. Since romance writers were obviously the easiest sort of writer to be, she would do that. And she would live the lapdog petting, chaise lounging, tiara wearing life, just like Barbara Cartland, and be happy ever after. Years passed. She wandered in the wilderness and was punished for her hubris. She learned about writing: why it is bad to head hop, why she should have listened closer in 8th grade English on the whole ‘comflict thing’, and first hand what it was like to live stages three through eleven of the Hero’s Journey. And then, everything changed. She won the RWA’s Golden Heart contest for unpublished manuscripts. The winning story, soon to be known as THE INCONVENIENT DUCHESS, was bought by the contest judges, the delightful editors at Mills & Boon, in Richmond, Surrey. Chris is now living the life of her dreams which, strangely enough, is a lot like the life she always had. Her tiara is plastic and lights up if you press a button. Her chaise is an overstuffed recliner, and the labradoodle lounging on it thinks that, at seventy pounds, he is still puppy enough to sit on her lap. Her family has kept its sense of humor about her career change. Her sons are teenagers, and emphatically do not want to know what she’s writing. Her husband is adept at dodging questions about ‘romance writing research’. Her goldfish are unimpressed by her success and her two cats don’t give a damn either. And she lives happily ever after.
