	Dead Sexy	by Cloud Buchholz March 17, 2011	Free!	7641 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: I’m an indie author writing on the west coast. I write novels, poetry, and short stories. I love to create dark and devious characters in all sorts of genres. My poetry is like if Dr Seuss and Hugh Hefner had a lovechild and then made it fight with Emily Dickinson in a kiddy pool of Jell-O. Right now we’re strangers but I hope one day we can meet in a story that's been completely made up.

	A Christmas Contract	by H K Hillman Dec. 25, 2011	Free!	3125 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: You wouldn't think it to look at him, but H.K. Hillman is a Doctor. Not 'the' Doctor, just 'a' Doctor, and not the medical kind. The scientific kind. This is why writing takes so long. He is obliged to check facts even in fiction. It's in the scientist blood. Speaking of blood, most of his tales are intended to keep you awake at night, when you're alone in the dark. If this happens to you, please spare a thought for the author who has to think these things up. Alone. In the dark.

	Highway 306 into Mexico	by Rochelle Ragnarok Dec. 30, 2011	Free!	2660 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: I was born in Michigan in 1980 where I've lived a normal life, except for one thing. I love to write! I've always had an over active imagination and typically put a story to almost anything. I began when I was 12 years old writing little high school drama stories that became lost somewhere as the years progressed. In my late teens I wrote notebooks of poetry, three screenplays (Two of them Horror), and several short stories. Right now most of that stuff is buried in my closet, sadly never to see the light of day but I can't bear to throw it away! I've always had a knack for writing stories that were a little out there and when I discovered yaoi it was just one more thing that was shuffled into the mix. After years of debating, I've decided to throw myself into the world of writing and see what happens. I don't expect anything but to have my stories read and I can't wait to see what will happen next!

	Author bio: Dave Jeffery is 46 and lives with his family in rural Worcestershire. He was born in The Black Country and spent most of his youth dreaming of writing and drawing comic strips for DC Thompson, creators of The Beano and The Dandy. Dave completed his first novel, Badlands, at the age of ten and admits that it was 'pretty awful'. He still has it hidden somewhere in his loft. At school he used to write and illustrate comics for his school friends, selling them for a few pennies. At 15 years of age, he was invited to Dundee to see DC Thompson’s offices after sending his portfolio to them. Nothing may have come of the visit but the dream of getting work published continued. He is perhaps best known for his Beatrice Beecham series originally with Chipmunka Publications, London. This adventurous, super-sleuth teenager is currently on her second adventure with a third, Beatrice Beecham’s Cryptic Crypt, due out in 2011. The eBook Housefull of Horrors is released through Smashwords on October 31st and contains all seven Beatrice Beecham chapbooks. Writing as David Jeffery, this author also publishes adult and young adult horror and supernatural fiction. His zombie novel Necroloplis Rising will be released on September 11th through Smashwords. The prelude chapbook Splatoon is available now by following the book cover link on the home page. His Beatrice Beecham Presents: Campside Chillers collection will also be available early next year. In the interim Dave's short stories can be found in the Creature Feature anthology and his story Masquerade has been accepted for inclusion in the forthcoming WATCH anthology from Imprint Phoenix Publications. When he is not writing novels Dave works as a mental health practitioner. He has published an academic book with John Wiley & Sons and articles in his field of mental health whilst presenting on the international stage. He is in the process of editing another book for Speechamrk Publishing Ltd, for release in 2011. He is also author of Finding Jericho, a novel for young adults released through Chipmunka Publications, London exploring the relationship between a 15 year old boy and an uncle who has been diagnosed with manic depression. This book has been endorsed by the mental health charity MIND. Dave enjoys music, playing guitar and was once in a band called The Lion Farm who took their name from the council estate where he was dragged up.

	The Raymond M. Towers Sampler	by Raymond M. Towers Dec. 13, 2010	Free!	108546 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: About the author: Raymond M. Towers is an aspiring author of Mexican-American descent, although the term Chicano describes him much more accurately. He was born in 1970 in San Diego, California, and from an early age showed an interest in becoming a great storyteller. In fact, he was drawing and distributing his own crude comic books, using pencil and blank paper, as far back as the fourth grade. Alas, life happens, and due to both circumstance and procrastination, Raymond set his ambitions on the back burner for many years. While he did enjoy mild success in his submissions to literary markets, he felt he could improve his talents considerably by concentrating on his writing, and for the last decade has made every effort to produce a polished and complete product. Now in his early forties, the author, finally, is ready to share his vision with the world.

Terry Brooks was waiting for me in 4th grade, and I have travelled many places since. I hope you enjoy the trip to the worlds of my creation, and am always excited to hear about your journey there.

	The Beheld	by Paul G Bens, Jr. Jan. 05, 2011	Free!	5109 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: Born in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, far too many years ago to be honest about, Paul G. Bens, Jr., has spent the majority of his adult life in the entertainment industry. His first foray into Hollywoodland was as a casting assistant on low budget feature films. He then graduated to Casting Associate and worked for three years on the NBC hit series "Night Court" as well as a dozen other short-lived series. As a film and television Casting Director he was responsible for the principal casting of yet even lower budget feature films, as well as the television series "Ned & Stacey," "Malcolm & Eddie," "Likely Suspects," and "Murder in Small Town X." Outside of casting, Bens has been many things: a film producer, a file clerk, an altar boy, a bartender, a boy scout and, for a second-and-a-half, an actor. As an author, Bens' short fiction has appeared in Cemetery Dance, The Egg Box, Outsider Ink, Scared Naked, HeavyGlow, Bleeding Quill, Twisted Tongue, Velvet Mafia: Dangerous Queer Fiction, Chick Flicks, and Dark Discoveries. His debut novel "Kelland" was recently named the winner of the third annual Black Quill Award for Best Small Press Chill.

	Stories from the Ether Volume I: The Secret of Rue McGrath & The Excerpt	by W.T. Hughes March 14, 2011	Free!	5248 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: Growing up in a rural southern community my love for reading such things as H.P. Lovecraft, Fritz Leiber, and Edgar Allen Poe where not shared with many. I always enjoyed writing but never thought i could ever make a living at it or even get published so after high school I set it aside and joined the Army. Several years after I had left the service I moved to Ohio to be with what is now my wife and ended up getting a degree in Managment Information Systems. I have spent the last ten years working in IT and never really thought about returning to my love of writing. Then along came ebooks and the self publishing craze. I now find myself writing again and looking foward to making my works available to the public. I enjoy the thought that something I wrote can entertain others.

	LZR-1143: Perspectives (Zombie Short Stories)	by Bryan James April 17, 2011	Free!	21709 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: Yes, I have a day job. But it's not as fun without zombies. Due to the dearth of zombie-related hi-jinks in my normal, every day existence, I created some. I stuffed them all into a story I loved, placed myself into a crazy-person character, and out came a novel that I truly enjoyed writing. In my non-writing, non-working, non-zombie movie watching hours, I enjoy my dogs, my wife, and my friends. I also enjoy traveling (where I have picked up many more ideas for future books, including the LZR-1143 sequel). Email me at lzr1143@gmail.com!

	Author bio: I've been writing since I could hold a crayon, and reading nearly as long. I love books, especially spec fic, and write inside my head constantly. Some of that makes it to the page. Other than writing, I love hockey, beer, zombie movies, the Whedonverse, Doctor Who, and being the keeper of archaic words nobody uses anymore and all obscure character actor knowledge. I share my life with my five kids, 3 dogs, 2 cats, and my sweetie, who in "high concept" is best described as a cross between a young Donald Sutherland and Peter Forsberg. Along with the first two installments of the Maddie Pryce Hollywood Mystery Series, Darker By Degree and Director's Cut, I'm the author of several short stories and the upcoming novels Running Red, Dead of Winter, and A Willingness of Witches.

	The Watchman	by GlennAndSasha Gabriel Nov. 15, 2011	Free!	716 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: Special Note: Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting our Authors Page. We are delighted to announce that we have just published our first novel, Amanda Ackers and The Deep Forest Elves. We are still in shock that so many people had liked our short stories. From November 14th of 2011, to February 7th of 2012, our little short stories and new novel have been downloaded over 3,469 times, with the novel being downloaded 723 times in one month! We are very thankful to you all, for supporting our work, which we do for the enjoyment of it. Our thanks also, to the many of you who have emailed us, with kind comments on our stories, and those who had requested receiving a prerelease version of our novel. We had never thought of doing that, but what a great idea. It gave many a chance to read the novel before we actually published it. Thanks to all of you! We are most humbled by the response we have received, and thank you from the top, middle and bottom of our hearts! Book Two of the Amanda Ackers series, Amanda Ackers and The Realm Of The Witches, will be out near the end of the year. Should any of you like a prerelease version, please let us know. As you know, we do require you to sign a non-disclosure agreement and fax it back to us… it’s just good business practice. Please let us hear from you when you get the chance. Email us at: GlennAndSasha@gmail.com -------------------------------------------- Hello and thank you for visiting our Smashwords.com page. My name is Sasha Gabriel, and I would like to take a few moments to say a little about Glenn and myself. They say that creativity belongs to the young. Well, not always. Young at heart, I’ll buy, but nothing else. Writing is relatively new for me. I’ve been an avid reader for most of my 60+ years. But writing seemed daunting. How do you write an idea to get over to other people without boring them to death? How do you write conversations that sound like the people who are speaking them? Once I studied the “how to’s” a bit, and with the encouragement from Glenn, my wonderful husband and best friend, I started writing. And I love it. So does Glenn. Writing has opened a door for me that nothing else has – my imagination has soared and I’m absolutely thrilled and thankful, from the bottom of my heart, that others like my writing, as well. Both Glenn and I have been submitting very, very short stories (no more than 600 word stories) because these are also being entered into a writing contest with that directive. At the same time, both Glenn and I are writing novels (Glenn’s is awesome!!!! Think the depth of Lord of the Rings with the immediacy of Harry Potter and you’ve got it!). But I want to share something with you all… Glenn has battled Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia almost his entire life. That’s a mouthful, for sure, but try living with them on a daily basis! Even so, Glenn has worked to overcome the more serious side effects and his talent in writing, painting, and all over creativity is nothing short of staggering. Honestly… I’m running to keep up with him but I’m mostly just out of breath! So… the bottom line is… we’re all just human with all our challenges and it’s those challenges that make what we create that much better. Please… If you like to read… then write. If you like to paint… then paint. Pick up that paintbrush and start. For writing, get to your keyboard and begin. We think you’ll surprise yourself at your talents. And, again… Thank You all for your kind and generous words of appreciation for our stories! It means the world to us! ----------------------------- Glenn here. Just wanted to add that we never thought anyone would even read our work, let alone have downloaded our little stories hundreds of times in less than a month. Because of the kind words from you all, I will continue to write. I have, as Sasha had mentioned, been writing a novel which I was writing for fun, for our grandson Logan. I was not going to publish it, just print it out to give to him. Now… once the first book of that series is finished, I’ll publish it here for FREE. My thanks to all of you. Feel free to contact Sasha and I at the following email address. We would love to hear from you: GlennAndSasha@gmail.com
