Writing a Novel That Works by Sean Daniel Shortwinter Writing a Novel That Works by Sean Daniel Shortwinter Jan. 20, 2012 $0.99 20295 words Sample 15%
Author bio:
My name is Sean Daniel Shortwinter...and I'm a writer and artist residing in Florida. My fiction follows the same theme throughout...what happens when you die? Well, you can get a job, for one thing...so that's what I explore. All of my characters are strong females that had terrific abilities when they lived on Earth. Christine, for example, is super smart, while Sabine is superb at hand-to-hand combat. God uses their special traits to accomplish goals, but more importantly, to help them grow as a person. And that may sound strange, to grow as a person after death, but some of us will leave this life with unfinished business...and just because you're dead doesn't mean God stops caring about your welfare. The novels here will make you laugh and think, plus I usually spend years building a plot that is more than regurgitated Hollywood drivel. Sean

I am Scottish, born in Edinburgh, and spent the first 41 years of my life, not far from my fair and bonnie "Athens of the North". I now live in Topeka, Kansas, with my wife (bless her), no pets (don't like 'em), no children (all moved out), and with many gallons of home-made wine bubbling as I write. My biggest acheivement to date (apart from the successful parenting of my darling daughter) is my published novel; "Opportunities: Jamie Leith in Darien." I'm not confined by genres, having equal success in Historical adventure, Sci Fi, Fantasy, Horror and hard hitting gritty crime. I watch far too much football (Don't even think of calling it 'soccer'.) and at times chase a dimpled ball along carefully manicured countryside, with a collection of calibrated, graphite-shafted sticks. I play guitar and sing in a folk/rock band, and would love to have enough money to tour the world's archeological sites until I'm too old to walk. I love to write, and enjoy literary challenges of all kinds. My blog is; http://www.jamieleith.blogspot.com My website is; http://www.jamieleith.com Thank you for your time. Ian.

The Drip Theory by John Blandly The Drip Theory by John Blandly Jan. 12, 2012 $0.99 1417 words Sample 30%
Author bio:
If you like a book by John Blandly, please give it five stars. If you don't, sorry. Improvements are constantly being made. We (meaning all one of us) know it is an effort to give five stars--they are very heavy. If you do so, let me know. Many of John Blandly's books are novellas and novelettes. Or, maybe they should be called micronovels. He started writing screenplays about ten years ago, and suddenly he couldn't write anything longer than 100 pages. He tried to put in a lot of dialogue, fast paced action and quick cuts, as if you were watching a movie. One ebook, "For Esme--With Love," even includes short scripts. It has been said that there is never a final version of a screenplay--just the current one. If you think your script is perfect, just pick it up in a few weeks or months. Spontaneously, it seems, typos, plot flaws, and all sorts of errors appear, as if out of nowhere. That's like an ebook. There is one way ebooks are better than printed books for a writer--you can easily revise them--edit--fix mistakes--make the book better, as I've recently done with "Kiss Me, I'm Irish," "BombDown," "Girlfriends Lost," and "Peeps." "The Volunteers" was originally published in "Studio" (Australia). I love Australia and hope some day to visit there. South America too. Love stories--that's what I like in a book or a movie. Some love stories here are "Girlfriends Lost," and "The Volunteers." There may be others. I have always been interested in astronomy. I get new books almost every year (almanacs), since there are always new discoveries. "The Meddlers," and "Peeps" deal with what might happen if there was virtual travel to nearby stars, which I think will happen. I am continuing to work on Enhanced eBooks, which includes photos or films or music. Here, "The Underground," is perhaps the best example, but there is some enhancement with photos or art in "Famous Fake Books," "Rock Star Diet," and "Girlfriends Lost." I just added a new improved version of Rock Star Diet, with more jokes, and photos of my favorite rock stars. Check out my films by searching johnblandly on YouTube. Phantom of the Art Gallery http://www.youtube.com/user/JohnBlandly#p/u/0/XiDzQvtkbcA I reside in the wilderness of the New York frontier. Here are some links to navigate with me! "Abbie," the love story of Frankie and Maisie, who get involved in the drama of Abbie Hoffman's underground life in the Thousand Islands http://www.synergebooks.com/ebook_abbie.html me book of poetry--just jokes in the form of poems http://synergebooks.com/ebook_new&easypoems.html If you've got nothing better to do, you can read my hopefully somewhat accurate poems about the meaning of life. Good luck! Also, please buy a copy of one of my novellas or novelettes from Smashwords. It is said that a prophet is not without honor except in his home town. Based on sales of my books, looks like my home town is--THE WORLD! The young adult novelette, The Volunteers, is based on a number of true stories, or more accurately, harrowing experiences. Girlfriends Lost is completely fictional--I wish! I do not know how to explain it right now except to say, Caesar used to write about himself in the third person, but he had far better adventures. So, enjoy reading "The Death of John Blandly, Continued," included in this novella, and if you can figure it out, let me know, at jjbrearton@aol.com. A novelette that I first published here has now been released as an ebook by Aripublishing.com. It is a surprisingly popular young adult western story. Here's the gigantic link: Ruthy’s New Texas Lawyer Friend, by John Blandly http://www.amazon.com/Ruthys-Texas-Lawyer-Friend-ebook/dp/B004WLOR70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1306963354&sr=1-1 Some of the covers of my books use photos courtesy of Freedigitalphotos.net. http://twitter.com/blandly

A Dictionary of English and Romance Languages Equivalent Proverbs by Teodor Flonta A Dictionary of English and Romance Languages Equivalent Proverbs by Teodor Flonta Jan. 07, 2012 $9.99 176624 words Sample 10%
Author bio:
I grew up in a little village in Transylvania listening to stories which were often sprinkled with proverbs and idioms. My father would frequently make use of proverbs, more so when hardships imposed on him by the Communist regime reached unbearable heights. Not being allowed to study Commerce (Foreign Trade), on the account of my ‘unhealty social origin’, I went on to study foreign languages and discovered that my father’s proverbs had equivalents in many of them. As a student I used to pair and memorize them and that helped me improve my vocabulary and reinforce the basic linguistic structures of the language I studied at the time. By a fortunate set of circumstances I was able to leave Communism behind and lived in Italy for a few years. In 1978 I settled in Australia where I got a PhD on a topic close to my heart – have a guess! – yes… proverbs… and found myself teaching in a university. In 1995, with contributions from many academics from around the world – the first among them Prof. Wolfgang Mieder, the top scholar in the field – I founded De Proverbio (www.deproverbio.com), the world's first multilingual electronic journal of proverb studies. Issues of De Proverbio can be found in many ebook stores. So, it seems, that my involvement with proverbs is never going to stop. I have just published some of my bilingual and multilingual dictionaries in digital form and there are more to come. Having lived for long periods of time in three countries, I have had many jobs. In Romania I was a Teacher in a Middle School at the tender age of 17 years and 8 months (yes, as the Communists had dispensed with many teachers and professionals of the old guard – considered enemies – they ran short of people in the professions and therefore were compelled to use High School leavers like me), a Translator, a Radio Announcer in Italian at Radio Bucharest International; in Italy I started as a Translator in a Patent Office, then moved on to become a Personnel Officer and later an Accountant in a Construction Company; in Australia I was more lucky, as I started with being a student and a University Tutor at the same time, then moved on to head the Italian section at the University of Tasmania. Now I am retired and live in the beautiful island of Tasmania with my Italian wife Ariella. Our two sons and their families live close by. When I am not spending time with my cute and vivacious grandchildren, I keep busy working on a series of memoirs. The first, which is now published, is about my early years in Lupoaia (literal translation: ‘Valley of the Wolves’), my little Transylvanian village. The memoir’s title is ‘A Luminous Future’ and is available in kindle at amazon.com.

Mastering Your Credit - 2012 by JAC Mastering Your Credit - 2012 by JAC Dec. 26, 2011 $6.99 24828 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Six years ago, I remember seeing my parents struggling to make ends meet; not being able to buy the things they wanted because of poor credit. Then the Great Recession hit the U.S. and our problems became even worse. I began hearing more and more from my Mom and Dad about how they mismanaged their finances and credit but I did not understand what they were talking about. Finally, at the age of 18 three years ago, I sat down with my Dad and he started to explain to me what "credit" was and how they had failed to handle their financial affairs properly and how 'bad credit' caused my parents to suffer needlessly in this bad economy. I began doing my own research and found out that there was no one source of information on what 'credit' was, how to find it and what to do if you had bad credit and wanted to correct it. Soon, I began to understand there was a need for a comprehensive, up-date and down-to-earth book on 'credit'. Not some graduate course on finance and world monetary issues but the basic, need-to-know stuff on 'credit'. So, with my parents help and guidance (now that they had finally corrected their credit and put their finances in order), I began to write "Mastering Your Credit - 2012" to help the average consumer, like me, understand, review, correct and improve their credit. Don't let your family suffer as mine did through long periods of trying to make ends meet and watching your loved ones keep fighting for what they desire in this life but could not get because of bad credit. I know the economy is challenging at this time and everyone is affected by it or knows someone who is. I learned the hard way, with my parents, how to rebuild your credit and now I want to share this knowledge with everyone. That is why MASTERING YOUR CREDIT - 2012 will teach you there is a better day ahead and that you can empower yourself in so many ways to understand, review and rebuild your credit and start over. We have done extensive research and we have a lot of great information in one easy to understand format for you to learn and grow smart about 'credit'. Credit is the one thing you can't live without. My parents learned the hard way...but you don't have to. Get MASTERING YOUR CREDIT - 2012 and start on your journey to better credit and a better life!
