Kostenloses Ebook mit Erlaeuterungen zur Astrologie	by Eckhart Landes May 11, 2011	Free!	1887 words	Read a sample
Author bio: In einer einer Zeit, in der eine ÃœberfÃ¼lle an Informationen zur VerfÃ¼gung stehen und sich blitzschnell durch die ganze Welt vervielfÃ¤ltigen, ist es schwer, in einer Nische tÃ¤tig zu sein, in der schon viel Ã¼ber alle mÃ¶glichen Themen geschrieben und Inhalte ausgelotet wurden, wie etwa in der Astrologie und Musik. Irgendwann kommt jeder an einen Punkt in seinem Leben, wo neue Entscheidungen anstehen. Man kann ihnen ausweichen oder mÃ¶chte wissen: Was sind meine eigentlichen Lebensthemen? Wie kann ich mich und mein Schicksal besser verstehen? Mit solchen Fragen und Themen kommen seit 21 Jahren Menschen zu mir. Denn nur im VerstÃ¤ndnis mit sich und der eigenen Umwelt kann ein gesunder Geist in einem gesunden KÃ¶rper sich entwickeln und heranwachsen. Deshalb fÃ¼hre ich astrologische Beratungen durch und gebe Unterrichtskurse und Seminare in Astrologie nach dem astrologischen System der â€žMÃ¼nchner Rhythmenlehreâ€œ von Wolfgang DÃ¶bereiner. Wer mehr wissen mÃ¶chte, den berate ich gerne - in persÃ¶nlichem GesprÃ¤ch, oder ich erstelle Ihr persÃ¶nliches, individuelles Horoskop direkt auf CD als "Das HÃ¶rbuch"Ihres Lebens fÃ¼r Sie. Einmalig - Besonders - Gilt ein Leben lang. Im Ãœbrigen auch ein gutes Geschenk zu Ostern, Weihnachten, Kommunnion, Konfirmation, Geburtstage usw.. Da die Astrologie fÃ¼r mich keine Wissenschaft ist, wie sie in den Naturwissenschaften mit belegbaren Beweisen und dem Modus des Wiederholbaren funktioniert, bleibt sie eine Lehre. Und das ist das Besondere und SchÃ¶ne an ihr. Sie bleibt dadurch fÃ¼r alle zugÃ¤nglich, ohne einen Doktorschein, Hochschulabschluss oder sonstigem akademischen Grad und Werdegang. In allen meinen Texten widerspiegelt sich das astrologische Denken. Mir geht es darum, nicht das Falsche in der Welt gemÃ¤ÃŸ der eigenen Vorstellung heraus richtig zu machen oder zu stellen, sondern das Falsche beim Namen zu nennen. Und das hat mit Moral auch nichts zu tun. Der Hintergrund dafÃ¼r ist die "MÃ¼nchner Rhythmenlehre" nach W. DÃ¶bereiner - ist Antrieb und Folgerung. NatÃ¼rlich erkennt man das Astrologische in einem ausformulierten Text nicht gleich als VordergrÃ¼ndiges. Aber letztendlich geht es immer um Lebensschicksale und deren Ausformungen in die Zeit, wie sie entstanden sind, und welche Auswirkungen sie auf heute haben. Wenn man mit Astrologie zu tun hat, ist es ja immer der Umgang mit Zeit, deren Gestalt und Werdung. Das heiÃŸt, es geht um die Frage, welche Ausformung das und jenes Ereignis in die Zeit und die Welt hat, um daran das Bestimmende gerade in seiner Schicksalshaftigkeit zu erfassen. FÃ¼r mich geht es darum, zu erkennen und zu begreifen, warum bestimmte Dinge in der Welt so und so geworden sind, was die Menschen zu bestimmten Handlungen treibt, warum sie an Erkrankungen und SchicksalsschlÃ¤gen seelisch und/oder kÃ¶rperlich leiden und vor allen Dingen, was und wo die ZusammenhÃ¤nge liegen.
Movies Worth Watching	by Les Broad Sep. 30, 2011	Free!	4038 words	Read a sample
Author bio: That picture isn't me. It's my much-loved Border Collie bitch, who I lost to a spinal tumour in April 2011. She deserves this memorial. I was born a very, very long time ago, very close to my mother in England. Now I live in Wales, which isn't England but is part of the UK. I've written all sorts of stuff, but mostly science fiction. It's sort of believable sci-fi - maybe it can't happen today, but might tomorrow, you know? The sci-fi novels are all on the theme of 'first contact' and the first one is being given away free. You'll have to pay for the others. Sorry. I've got other novels, short stories and things that are supposed to be funny too but whether they are is your decision, right? Some of the books are based on real incidents - I know they are, because they happened to me. There are five in total, I've released two, two are being tidied up and the last one won't be finished for a while yet. If you read one, remember it all happened to me and that I don't mind being laughed at. I'm used to it. A while back I released a free book, 'Top Of The Shop'. (If you're a writer you might want to read it. I'll say no more.) I've since released another one, 'Tea, Drums And Speed'. So now the first sci-fi novel is free, 'Top Of The Shop' is free, and there's a free volume of short stories. I must be mad, giving this stuff away. Mind you, it hasn't stopped me giving away a book of political thoughts. If you're from Wales, or British, or even interested in Welsh politics, it might be worth reading. There's also a free book about some films that appeal to me. You might find it interesting but I thought it would be a bit cheeky to want money for it. Have it on me. There's one little thing I don't understand. Of everything I've put on this site, I think the stories in 'Swift Shifts' are the funniest, yet it's the title that's looked at least often. Why is that, do you think? After a gap of several months I've now added a new three-story volume of funny stories. To balance this, there's a thoroughly miserrable one on its way! A word or two about my pricing strategy might be worthwhile. A lot of people on this site (and I apologise if I've got this wrong) quote prices that are just a bit cheaper than you'd see in a bookstore. I don't do that. Ebooks don't have production or distribution costs, so why should you, the book buyer, have to pay even a tiny share of something that doesn't exist? Isn't it better to spend, say, $3 on three little books than on just one? I want you to enjoy what I've written, and at a realistic cost to you that I can live with. Simple, isn't it? I'll add to this from time to time - there's no point saying everything at once, is there? You'd have no need to come back, would you?

Twitterario	by Eduardo Acevedo Sep. 01, 2010	Free!	9403 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Escritor tempranamente laureado (premio U.N.S.L, 1974) nacido en Argentina, durante largos aÃ±os estuvo al margen de la actividad literaria, hasta comenzar este siglo con una producciÃ³n copiosa, recuperÃ¡ndose asÃ de silencios pasados. Le gusta leer, los perros y una buena copa de vino -ademÃ¡s de su familia y amigos. Actualmente comparte su tiempo de escritor con la cataciÃ³n de cafÃ©s especiales. La voz del autor bordea los lÃmites entre la poesÃa, el micro ensayo y el relato breve. Con humor, ironÃa o pasiÃ³n, lo que no intenta es enseÃ±ar algo. Provocar a lo mÃ¡s. Su registro coloquial, hace recordar una conversaciÃ³n entre amigos, en la que despliega un estilo propio con lejanos acentos rioplatenses. Early prize-winning writer (prize U.N.S.L, 1974) born in Argentina, during many years standing aside from literary activity, began this century with a copious production and is recovering from past silences. He likes to read, loves dogs and a good glass of wine -in addition to his family and friends. At present, he spends his time writing and cupping specialty coffees. The authorâ€™s voice skirts the limits of poetry, brief tales, and micro essays. With humor, irony or passion, he does not intend to teach anything; just provoke at most. His colloquial register recalls a conversation among friends, deploying a unique style, with distant accents of the River Plate region.

Non avendo trovato ancora una risposta alle sue domande, si cimenta in tutto ciÃ² che Ã¨ arte, dallo scrivere racconti, poesie, canzoni, al suonare in diversi gruppi musicali, fino a realizzare cortometraggi, altamente consigliati ad un pubblico mentalmente instabile. La sua lucida follia ha ottenuto la piena consacrazione con questa raccolta di racconti.

We brain wash you without your consent. God's manual for the media.	by Free From Bondage Ministry Oct. 21, 2010	Free!	11692 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Free From Bondage Ministry was started just a few short years ago. As a newly ordained minister, I felt that too many people were tinkering around with God's Word. Translating it into what made them comfortable, rather than how God's Word could help them be accountable and truly righteous. And the stakes are too high to be tinkering. It is your eternal life you are gambling with. Because there is a distinct difference between saying to believe in God, and acting as a believer in God. And that difference could make all the difference for your salvation. The message from Free From Bondage Ministry is simple, yet not easy. But we have seen "miracles" that even many with a strong faith discard as "impossible". Which made us aware that the message we got from God needed to be brought to a bigger public. Hence these books. There is more information available at our website: www.freefrombondage.weebly.com And yes, we are a very small ministry. No bells and whistles, no fancy stuff. We use what comes our way to spread God's Word. So referrals are highly appreciated. May God bless you, Free From Bondage Ministry.

Bookstore Lore: The Stupidest Questions Ever Asked in a Bookstore	by Tom Lichtenberg June 22, 2010	Free!	4476 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I write books across a lot of different genres and styles. I've got some sci-fi, some mystery, some satire, some young adult, a little kids' book, and some just plain old-fashioned stories. Most are short and easy to read, are sometimes funny and often feature unexpected endings. Some of my books are related to each other, sharing characters, locales and plots. Snapdragon Alley, Freak City and Dragon Town comprise "The Dragon City Trilogy" The "All Geeked Up" collection includes World Weary Avengers, Ledman Pickup, and In Constant Contact "The Secret Trilogy" is 'Chaos Fiction' and includes Squatter with a Lexus, Secret Sidewalk, and Hidden Highway "Rays and Nights" is a collection of cross-genre stories that share certain characters, and includes the faux-horror Zombie Nights, the sci-fi Death Ray Butterfly and the coming-of age stories of Raisinheart Fissure Monroe features the intrepid private eye, Dawn Debris. Missy Tonight follows Orange Car with Stripes in these stories of Atheist Comic Sci-Fi Pulp Fiction. Golden is a screenplay based on Time Zone. Jimmyland is a screenplay based on Phantom of the Mall. Inspector Mole pops up all over the place. If you like one, chances are you'll like another, and if you don't, well, thanks for giving it a try!

Khaki Pants - A Vacation Story	by Chris Stralyn Jan. 27, 2012	Free!	2846 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Chris Stralyn never intended to be a writer. Short-order cook, security guard, safety officer, childcare provider, and teacher were all titles sheâ€™d worn â€“ but never writer. Then she entered an essay contest for â€œThe Worst Vacation Everâ€ and won. Writing became her new hobby, and soon she had several articles in print with local publications. This was followed by a short story, The Khaki Pants, which was published by RDR Publishing in an anthology that went on to sell over a million copies. A suspense thriller was her next undertaking, and in 2008 This Time You Lose was named a finalist in the TNBW Strongest Start Novel Competition. Four months later it earned the distinction of being a TNBW Readers Choice Top Ten Novel, and has remained on the Top Ten list ever since. Chris Stralyn continues to put pen to paper in her endeavour to appease the Muse within. She lives in Michigan with her husband and family.
