Thirty Stories by Gil C. Schmidt Thirty Stories by Gil C. Schmidt June 01, 2010 $2.99 22553 words Sample 10%
Author bio:
My first written story involved a boy, spear-chucking natives and ended in a dream. It won 1st Prize in the Short Story Contest held for 7th graders. Imagine how bad the others were. Being an avid reader of comic books, SF, mystery and sports stories and thinking that I knew I could do something similar, I took that first story as a push to keep writing. Almost everything I wrote after that I trashed, except for one story my Dad said: "It's good, but you wrote it for yourself, not the reader." From that point on, I knew I could write stories and I learned to write them for more than an audience of one. I've written plenty of stories, some of which were published. I've written seven books, one of which was published with me receiving no credit, as ghost writers know. I've been blogging as Gil The Jenius for several years, but not about writing. I've spent something like 40% of my professional career writing plans, ads, reports, proposals, articles, interviews and scads of other "serious" stuff. And what fiction I did write I kept tucked away, growing older as I focused on other types of writing. Now's the time for it to see the light. Somerset Maugham once said that "If you're waiting to write, you're a waiter, not a writer." Although I still take tips (preferably cash), I'm a writer...fiction now included.

Experimental horror that blends science fiction, suspense, drama and a good scare are the tools of M Jones's trade. That sound heard in the upper floors of a semi-detached home are the scrapings of poisoned knife tips on an old Olympia typewriter. The letters hit the blank page like clacking teeth. Never read over her shoulder. PRAISE FOR M JONES "A great story premise, a great cast of quirky characters, and fantastic dialogue." - Zoe E Whitten, author of Peter the Wolf "A fantastic, fun, and philosophical read." - Nancy Brauer, author of Strange Little Band Find out more at bloodlettersink.com.

Mental health problems are a common part of the modern world, with one in four people likely to experience depression, addiction or other mental illness every year. Yet, many of these individuals choose to hide their problems, afraid of the stigma and isolation that a mental illness diagnosis often brings, preventing them from seeking the medical care they need and deserve. Little Episodes is an not-for-profit international collaborative art project, consisting of professional writers, artists, musicians and actors whose goal is to raise public awareness and understanding for those who suffer from mental illness, as well as providing empathy and emotional support through the visual, written and performance arts. Little Episodes aims to destigmatise and raise awareness of depression, addiction and mental illness and to promote the arts as a therapeutic tool by holding writing and art therapy workshops. There is also a 'Mental Health' group on our social network that is for people affected by depression, addiction or mental illness to chat and find helpful support information. Residential units or day centre visits - Little Episodes is keen to reach out to people who can’t get to other Little Episodes events. These visits can include art and writing therapy workshops, readings from the books, performances and/or a general Q&A. Mail us at info@littleepisodes.org for further information

Fuchs also recently celebrated his love of writing and independent publishing by launching a bookazine series called Bumper Sticker Shine, the first volume of which, Dry Ice Dreams, is now available. In it he shares insights into the independent publishing industry, how to go about doing it, short stories from his archives as well as poetry, comics, photos and more. Fuchs always wanted to have his own magazine, one where he could do whatever he wanted, however he wanted, and now he has one. Check it out. It’s loads of fun. He’s also the owner and sole-proprietor of Coscom Entertainment, a publishing firm specializing in superhero and monster fiction.
