Awakening. Angel Blood Trilogy Book 1 | by Emma Hart May 20, 2012 | $1.99 | 41671 words | Sample 15% |
| Author bio: I live in Barnstaple, England and I'm a stay at home mum to my daughter. I've been an avid reader from a very young age. I've wanted to write for as long as I can remember. I started reading the fantasy books from here and the iBooks store from my partner's iPhone until one day he said 'why don't you write instead of read?' so I did. A Magic like no other is my first book of a two-part series. I'm brainstorming for book two, the next part of Casey's adventure. I'm also beginning book two of my Angel Blood Trilogy. I tend to go where my imagination takes me, even if that means writing more than one book at once. Needless to say, right now, I have about four different stories rambling around in my mind! |

The President's Daughter | by J.J. Zaluka May 19, 2012 | $3.99 | 52480 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: J. J. Zaluka is a writer living in the Midwest. He's traveled widely--Europe, South America, Mexico, Canada, and all fifty states in the USA. His work so far has been mostly non-fiction, but after a long and successful career in academia, he's picked up a number of fiction manuscripts developed over the years and is bringing them to publication. He does most of his research simply by watching TV (including the ads), going to the movies, and reading widely, always with the question in mind: What are Americans really buying? The answer is pretty simple: crime, sex, and violence, all in various combinations. Zaluka's admittedly lofty, and perhaps unattainable, goal is to deal with this subject matter in a highly intellectual way, addressing questions of interest to humanity while telling a reasonably good story. |

Magnus: Storm Building | by Owen Tobias May 19, 2012 | $2.99 | 73171 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Owen Tobias is something of a scholar. Having devoted much of his adult life to teaching scholarly books while reading those that are often the object of scorn among his peers, he decided that it was time to try his hand at writing the kinds of books that he likes, as opposed to those that he ought to like. Like many writers, he has tried his hand at a wide variety of professions. He has been a teacher, a researcher, a martial arts instructor, a woefully untalented actor, an entrepreneur, a software developer, and a life guard. Owen Tobias has an affinity for German Shepherds. At the moment he has two who keep him rather busy. He lives on the East Coast with his wife and daughters, in a rural part of the country. |

The Fae Wynrie | by Mike White May 19, 2012 | $2.99 | 11826 words | Sample 10% |
| Author bio: Ex-drummer, Ex-software author and Ex-flares wearer Michael White was born and lives in the northwest of England. In a previous life he was the author of many text adventure games that were popular in the early 1980's. Realising that the creation of these games was in itself a form of writing he has since made the move into self-publishing, resulting in many short stories and novellas. Covering an eclectic range of subjects the stories fall increasingly into that "difficult to categorise" genre, causing on-going headaches for the marketing department of his one man publishing company, Eighth Day Publishing. Having accidentally sacked his marketing director (himself) three times in the last two years, he has now retired to a nice comfortable room where, if he behaves himself, they leave him to write in peace. In his spare time (!) Michael likes to listen to all kinds of music, and is a big fan of Steven Moffat, whether he likes it or not. Michael is currently working on several new projects and can be contacted on the links below.

The Children of The Amulet - Volume 1 - Fight For Chrystalina | by Laura L. M. Regan (Quinpool) May 18, 2012 | $10.00 | 39596 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: My name is Laura Regan and I write under the name L. M. Quinpool, author of two series - Children Of the Amulet and Calendrial. I'm descended from two very artistic families which include writers, actors, musicians and graphic artists. I write under the name Quinpool because my great great uncle John Regan wrote under the name John Quinpool, author of "First Things In Acadia". Re-using the name gave my grandfather and his siblings great joy and I'm proud to carry the name on. My first series Children Of the Amulet has three books already published in paperback through Ottawa publisher Baico Publishing. I hope to have my fourth book in the series I hope to put into paperback soon but for now it'll only be available with the other three on e-book. There are more already written in the series but they just aren't up to my personal standards and therefore not ready for print or digital books. My second, more Canadian series, Calendrial will be soon made available through e-book only until such time as it's possible to publish in print. In everyday life I'm a Linguist and psychology major. I'm also a web designer, music lover, photographer, and graphic designer. I enjoy working with children of all ages, sizes and abilities and helping them reach their fullest potential despite "lables" or "social roadblocks" they may be faced with. I write about children because I believe they are an important of the past present and future. I believe it is imporant to encourage them to shoot for the stars and I hope my books will empower them with the strength to change the world. For this reason my cousin Sarah Jaworski (now age 19) creates my cover designs of the Calendrial series and she and her brother Christopher (then 12 and 14) co-designed the first 3 Children Of the Amulet books. I very much hope you like my books and will pass the name Quinpool on to your family, friends and associates. Thanks to Smashwords and Baico Publishing for making my publishing dreams come true. Love LMQ |

| 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 | Free! | 65085 words | Read a sample |
| 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've published two books so far, "The Arena Wars", and "The Awakening", both are the first part in their own triologies. I'm working on the sequels now, along with some other books. 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 | |
| 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. |

| Author bio: Rose Garcia is a lawyer turned writer who’s always been fascinated by science fiction and fantasy. From a very young age, she often had her nose buried in books about other-worlds, fantastical creatures, and life and death situations. More recently she’s been intrigued by a blend of science fiction and reality, and the idea that some supernatural events are, indeed, very real. Fueled by her imagination, she created The Transhuman Chronicles—a series of books about people who have overcome human limitations. Rose lives in Houston with her husband and two kids.
