The Lantern Menace by Darren Craske May 18, 2012 $0.99 57144 words Sample 15%
Author bio:
Hello you. I am the author of 'The Cornelius Quaint Chronicles' published by HarperCollins in the UK, as well as a former comic book illustrator. My aim is always to try to marry the visual part of my brain with the wordy part, and I write fantastical adventure stories with a hint of fantasy, as well as quirky little tales with heart and humour. I moved into self-publishing after fulfilling my contract with HarperCollins for the 4 volumes of The Cornelius Quaint Chronicles, and now I am excited about being able to publish a lot of my back catalogue that's been sat on my hard drive for years gathering dust. I've been told that I'm an 'ideas factory' because I can't stop myself from writing, so there will be some brand new stories coming very soon in the hope that readers enjoy them and recommend them to their friends. D Craske.

The Awakening by Samantha Hoffman May 17, 2012 $0.99 65085 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
My name is Samantha. I'm nineteen years old, and I love reading and writing more than anything. It's what I do in all of my spare time, and I'd like to think that I'm good at it. My favorite things to read and write about are Paranormal Romance, but I also like anything with a lot of action, so long as it has a strong heroine, one that I find relatable. I hate Twilight's Bella Swan, because she's whiny, insecure, and stupid. I tend to write strong, independent heroines, ones that all people would love to know. Some of my favorite authors are: Tamora Pierce, J.K. Rowling, Darren Shan, and James Patterson. I love: Werewolves - They're just badass. Tattoo Shows - I love watching people design them. Inkmaster is awesome. Pokemon - Got my first game when I was about six, and I still play them on occasion :) Reading and Writing. I hate: Twilight - The characters are as stupid as the plot. Ignorant People - Some people just talk and talk about people they don't know, and it annoys me. Making good books into terrible movies - "I Am Legend" and "Flowers in the Attic" I'm looking at you.

Where Angels Crossover by Deborah Jackson May 17, 2012 $0.99 38460 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Deborah A Jackson is the author of five books, ranging from picture books to early readers. When she was ten years old, she immigrated from a small village in Devon, England to the wide skies and open countryside of South Africa. After many unsuccessful attempts to view schooling seriously and not a place for play, she eventually matriculated on her terms, and fell in love with her teenage sweetheart. Ruled by her heart, she married young and two children soon followed. The idea for her first picture book was inspired by her child and her worries about the environment. The Tortoise who cared is a tale of fight versus might and seemed to reflect the personality of the author. This was followed by four more books including two illustrated readers. Traditionally published by large publishing houses, Deborah and her family risked everything by returning to the UK and left her writing behind. From there, she created a successful business, studied for her degree and teaching qualifications. After many years, in the real world, and once her children had grown up, she returned to writing. This has been a family project, with her son creating the illustration and daughter, owner of Bad Rhino productions, creating the book trailer. Deborah currently, teaches English and has taken her studies even further, with a Masters in English. She has come full circle and returned to her first love – writing. Heaven’s Children, Earth Totem, is the first book in a series, and she is already putting the finishing touches to her second, Through the Veil. She loves eating chocolate and listening to cold play, reggae, U2 and romantic music especially from movies like practical magic when she is writing. She has a mischievous sense of humor, loves pranks, cries at sad movies, screams at scary ones and never takes no for an answer.
