Some companies foolish enough to hire this overfed, long-haired, leaping gnome (apologies to Eric Burdon and the Animals) included Coca-Cola in Atlanta Georgia, Corning Glass, (the facility there built the Hubble space telescope mirror and I have actually touched it) and Syracuse University. Currently I'm retired and living in the woods in Tennessee. When I say I'm living in the woods I mean exactly that. My home is surrounded on three sides by forest less than twenty feet away and deer and turkey are daily visitors in my front yard. Now that I am retired I'm doing what I love. I sincerely hope you enjoy the stories.

Hi, I’m Gunnar Grey. I write books. I’m a historian, a forensics nut, a target shooter, and a retired adventurer and equestrian. I read avidly and post reviews or at least ratings for most of the books I read. In addition, I format ebooks for myself and a few clients, including indie writers and a no-longer-quite-so-small publishing company. If you need an ebook formatted or want to meet my references, check out my blog, Mysteries and Histories. I live in Humble, Texas, just north of Houston, with four parakeets, the aforementioned husband (who’s even more entertaining than the birds), a fig tree, a vegetable garden, the lawn from the bad place, three armloads of potted plants, and a coffee maker that’s likely the most important item we own.

Building A Paper Copy Of Your Book At Home by John Porter Building A Paper Copy Of Your Book At Home by John Porter Feb. 26, 2012 $2.99 7472 words Sample 40%
Author bio:
John Porter spent his childhood growing up amongst the fruit orchards of North Kent, and after leaving grammar school, gained his horticultural qualifications at Hadlow College near the historic spa town of Tunbridge Wells. He migrated to Australia at the age of nineteen, with his first wife, in 1980. Although deriving his main income over the years from employment in the plant industry and from his own wholesale and retail nurseries, John has always maintained the keen interest in words and storytelling that was first fired up by his father’s vast collection of books, and an enigmatic and inspirational English teacher at Queen Elizabeth’s Grammar School, Faversham. John has written for many local organisations and groups in his native England, as well as preparing a number of public documents for the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in the 1980’s. He has contributed many poems and short stories to various publications in England and Australia over the years, including meditations for The Upper Room – an international, non-denominational Christian booklet. The self-published autobiography, "The Road Less Travelled" (2008), was John’s first major book, and describes in fascinating detail the journey he took over three continents during his first fifty years. It is now available from Smashwords and includes many personal photographs of his journey through his first half-century. Since then he has also self-published an anthology of poems entitled "Out Of My Head", and an account of a whirlwind seven-day visit to the UK, called "Turning The Page", which humorously describes the brushes he experienced with the history, geography and sociology of his original homeland. "The Collector" is John’s first full-length novel, and will be released later in 2012. He has published a series of ten short stories with the theme of 'Dirt', which are gathered in a compilation entitled "A Collection Of Dirty Little Stories" which is available at Smashwords. A companion volume called "The Cutest Little Animal Horror Stories", published earlier has already proved very popular with readers. The author now lives and writes in a garden centre in rural New South Wales, Australia, which he runs and owns with his present wife, drawing inspiration for his books from the Australian bush, the daily customers, and the host of chickens, birds, dogs, cats, rabbits and guineapigs which are bred on the premises, as well as his own lunacy.

Author bio:
I am the author of The Weekend Trippers, originally published by Bank House Books in October 2011. I have now republished it myself and all the author royalties will go the Rifles Benevolent Trust. The Weekend Trippers is the true story of my father-in-law, Ted Taylor, and his part in the Rifle Brigade's last stand in Calais in May 1940. Whilst writing The Weekend Trippers I began writing a docu-drama based on the diaries of both Ted and his fiancee Brenda. While Ted languished in various POW camps in Poland Brenda waited for him, surviving the Blitz and working as a nurse in London. Called The Cat & The Nightingale Saga, these are in several volumes and also available in print. I have also written another novel called A Second in Time based on the strange disappearance of 30,000 POWs at the end of World War 2. I have wide ranging interests and together with my husband David I have also written two spiritual books, The Re-Enlightenment and Holiday from Hell which are available on Amazon. I live in Essex with my husband David and a rather ancient, slightly deaf, Border Collie called Reubin. I work at the Military Corrective Training Centre in Colchester, the UK Forces only remaining detention centre and I am currently writing a book about its history. I have also written some housing guides for those leaving HM Forces. For more information please visit www.carolemctbooks.info
