Promotional Handbook Guide for Police / Law Enforcement - Oral Boards and Scenarios	by Michael Wood Jan. 24, 2012	$11.99	18612 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: Thanks for visiting and being interested in what I am doing. The short and sweet.... I am writing because I am trying to do my part to enhance policing at every level. Maybe one day I will move into writing about something else, but for now I write about what I see and what I hope to improve. I am passionate about police leadership and have found that everything the police are taught is highly theoretical and has little to no practicality for the actual police officers and supervisors. I am working to create practical applications out of the theories of law enforcement management. For now I am writing about the basic tools of supervision and how to get there. 9 years from trainee to Lieutenant is what I did and I want to show others how to do that to help define their career paths and show them that upward advancement is possible. The big project for the future is a complete reference of practical application of law enforcement concepts for police supervisors. Instead of scholars writing vaguely about the results of some study; I will demonstrate how the things we have learned actually are applied on the street to enhance public safety. The other stuff.. I am happily married, father of one daughter. Graduated with B.S. from Kaplan University, Summa Cum Laude, President's / Dean's List. Attended BCCC, 4.0 GPA, Distinguished Scholar.

The Flea Market Advisor	by Paul Runtich Jan. 22, 2012	$19.99	15969 words	Sample 15%
Author bio: I got my start in the flea market business when I was sixteen years old. My parents took me to a local retail auction on Saturday nights. The auction purchased insurance-damaged trailers. They sorted through the merchandise and kept all the good merchandise to auction off to the highest bidder. The auction also had a snack bar with homemade food which was priced reasonably, and also a retail food room with in-date food for 50% to 60% off retail prices. At the end of the night, the auctioneer would bring out several large boxes and fill them in front of everyone as people were bidding. Everyone was able to see in full view what merchandise was being placed in those boxes. Well, you guessed it. I bid on those boxes and won the bid. It cost me approximately $125.00 for a total of six boxes. I never thought about how I was going to get those boxes home, since we came to the auction in a car and not a truck. The auctioneer was kind enough to follow us home with all the boxes of merchandise, and at no charge either. After going through the boxes, I found some commercial copper fittings for AC units worth around $100 each. I had 50 of them. I decided to go to a flea market with all the merchandise and sell the merchandise I purchased. I took all the copper units and several other items and sold all the fittings on my first day at the flea market for $60.00 each, or $300.00 total for all 50 units. I sold them to an AC contractor. This was in 1966 and $300 was like hitting the lottery. That is what sold me on selling at flea markets, and I am still selling today. I have done markets ever since, from small to large, county fairs and local fairs. I started small, invested what I made in purchasing other merchandise and used my 1966 Chevy S.S. for a vehicle to start with. It is best to start out small, then add as you grow. Try different merchandise, different markets and then add a service business as well.

Went there last summer on a road trip and did some extended camping where I was warned, "the bums go". You know why they go there? Because of the view and the trees. All my works that are for sale are currently in the Amazon KDP program. All my free works are here to stay for the community to enjoy. My most recent work is "Amigosa Calm"-A spiritual adventure drama with a world wide cultural revolution mixed in. What happens in the modern age when a prophet-like persona shows up and starts performing miracles? Both my "American Epitaph" books pay homage to all the conspiracy/doomer/anti-establishment movements. They center around a contemporary version of the American Revolution and are set in Phoenix where I grew up. "Occupy Our Common Ground" and "100 Things We Can Occupy" were written for and in the spirit of the Libertarian movements taking shape in our world today. Favorite anonymous quote: "I am more than I seem to be, yet seem to be more than I really am." I got my degree in philosophy, love being lost in the desert, and strive to foster solidarity with other authors and eBookers. Please feel free to contact me.

The Tao Of Social Work	by Philip Wooldridge Nov. 06, 2011	$0.99	7579 words	Sample 50%
Author bio: My life's been an interesting journey, to say the least. I was raised in the central Texas area, and upon completing high school, served in the military for over five years. After that, I attended Panola College and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, graduating with a degree in Social Work in 1997. Since then, I've worked various jobs in the field, and have recently settled with my wife in Northeast Michigan. Sometimes a complete change is just what the doctor ordered. Recently, I've done away with my pen name of Wilson Kasa and have decided to re-publish my short stories under my real name. My stories come from a mix of what is probably an overactive imagination and real life experiences. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them. All the best, Philip
