She lives in southern California within scent of the ocean, and she and her husband spend their spare time following Styx around the country (and sometimes out of it), exploring the world via motorcycle, renovating their 1911 Craftsman home, and doing historic re-creation. She loves music, cats, Wales, TV, magic, laughter, and defying expectations. You can read more about Dayle and her pseudonyms at her at www.cyvarwydd.com.

Author bio:
I worked in the film business as a screen writer and director for many years. My first feature film, "Love At First Sight", Dan Aykroyd's first film, was invited to Filmex in Los Angeles by the American Film Institute. I directed other movies including "Melanie" starring Glynnis O'Connor, Don Johnson and Paul Sorvino and "Café Romeo" starring Jonathan Crombie and Catherine Mary Stewart. I also wrote and directed a dark comedy called "Home Is Where The Hart Is" starring Leslie Nielsen, Martin Mull and my sister, Valri Bromfield. In the 90s I ran a software company. My team and I won the Newmedia Invision Award, Newsweek’s Editor’s Choice Award and Parenting Magazine’s Magic Software Award for a musical painting app for preschoolers called "Paint ‘N’ Play". I directed many episodes of children’s television. But I really wanted to tell larger, strange, funny stories for adults. I've written a few short stories and the darkly comic novels "At Large" and "Nora-9". I read a lot of hard science (or, at least, I try to). Real science plays into most of my work. I have spent some considerable time thinking about the obesity epidemic and the extinction of the human species; subjects that I think are closely related in a number of peculiar ways. Here's my official quote: "There are some difficult social problems that are not going to be solved until we can laugh and are no longer frightened by them."

What in Hell is up with Heaven?: No rest for the wicked... by Christopher David Petersen What in Hell is up with Heaven?: No rest for the wicked... by Christopher David Petersen March 22, 2011 $0.99 88514 words Sample 30%
Author bio:
Christopher David Petersen (1963 - 20?? I just checked... I'm not dead yet). Born and raised in Connecticut. As a child, I was always daring and reckless. Never one to let common sense stand in the way of a great adventure, my bold feats of stupidity were legendary... Huckleberry Finn would have been proud. "Surprisingly", that same spirit carried over into adulthood, as I sought out entertainment that included: scuba diving; ski Mountaineering; mountain biking; Rock, Ice and Mountain climbing; flying planes; golf, motorcycles, the stock market and of course, experimentation with various alcoholic refreshments. Later in life, writing became an extension of my deep desire to experience "new and exciting worlds". I have written several books, but none have been published through any formal channels... I've heard the process is long, painful and laborious, the thought of which sickens me. My foray into e-publishing came after a friend suggested my works could fetch dollars instead of dust inside my sock drawer... a righteous observation. My recent publications are the result of this advice. Further adventure/suspense novels are soon to be released. An engineer by trade, I have worked all over the U.S. and usually write in my spare time... that is when I'm not enjoying a bottle of Scotch and a quality cigar. I am a naturally long-winded individual, so writing is what happens when I can't get anyone to listen to me anymore... I love all kinds of genres but gravitate more towards suspense. There is nothing like the build up to a great climax... What a rush! Please visit me at: http://christopherdavidpetersen.wordpress.com

Toys from my Attic by Russell Connor Toys from my Attic by Russell Connor March 20, 2011 $4.99 11282 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Russell Connor is an internationally known painter and writer who has contributed covers and illustrated essays to The New Yorker and The New York Times’ Book Review. After study with Josef Albers at Yale, and years painting in Japan and France, he was invited by the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston to be writer and host of Museum Open House, a nationally televised weekly gallery talk, produced with WGBH for public television for four years. While active as a painter, he also produced award-winning films on art, and was an early champion of video art. In 1970 he curated the world’s first museum exhibition of video art at the Rose Art Museum of Brandeis University, and later collaborated with Nam June Paik, Bill Viola, and William Wegman. Early influence of his grandfather, The New Yorker humorists, and the inspiration of museums and television finally merged to startling effect in his painting. In 1997, Charles E.Tuttle Co., Inc. commissioned him to write Masters in Pieces: The Art of Russell Connor. Amused by what he calls the muddled mental museum we all carry around, he combines well-known masterpieces in new compositions and new narratives. The New York Times’ review said, “Magically, Connor whisks away the artifice of art history to forge some deeper connections, and makes us smile all the while.” Toys From My Attic, evolved from a performance the artist gave at the Cornelia St. Café in Greenwich Village, was created in the same spirit.

The Cambridge List by Robert Clear The Cambridge List by Robert Clear March 19, 2011 $1.38 101895 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
I'm a twenty-nine year old writer from London. When I'm not shaking my fist at my rickety laptop I'm busy trying to remember how to write using pen and paper. I grew up reading Greek myths. In fact they were such a big part of my literary diet that until the age of nine I can hardly remember digesting anything else. Thus, after an upbringing saturated with murder, intrigue and blood feuds (all of a literary variety, of course), I decided to put my hand to writing a novel. The result is The Cambridge List, an ever-so English tale of gods, sex and death amidst the ivory towers of Cambridge University. Bringing the Greek gods to life on the page turned out to be rather fun, and having discovered that dark humour and epic killing sprees go rather well together I'm currently working on the sequel. If you think the idle musings of a personage such as myself are likely to amuse you, they can be found in agonising detail on my blog. If, however, you prefer ramblings of a more pithy variety you can read them on Twitter.

Author bio:
My life's been an interesting journey, to say the least. I was raised in the central Texas area, and upon completing high school, served in the military for over five years. After that, I attended Panola College and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, graduating with a degree in Social Work in 1997. Since then, I've worked various jobs in the field, and have recently settled with my wife in Northeast Michigan. Sometimes a complete change is just what the doctor ordered. Recently, I've done away with my pen name of Wilson Kasa and have decided to re-publish my short stories under my real name. My stories come from a mix of what is probably an overactive imagination and real life experiences. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them. All the best, Philip

Buffet by Jay M Horne Buffet by Jay M Horne March 17, 2011 $1.49 918 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Jay Horne sprouted up among the roots of a literary family tree. His grandparents on his mother's side, were both English teachers in a rural community, and traveled to every country on the globe. His mother and sister are exquisite artists, and his uncle a published poet. His aunt was retiring from her life-long work as a school principal just as Jay's writing career really started to blossom. What started as an outsource for Jay's extremely soft-spoken personality, writing became a love of his when he happened upon a handful of short stories he had written as a child. Those stories were published in two volumes, as-is called published youth, in 2009. Since the time of his first book, Life's a Joke!, which he is now admittedly embarrassed to claim at times as his own, he has successfully published over 30 works of literary art, some in more than 3 languages. His most notable being, Hubudi, a romantic fantasy that returns a couple of conflicting beliefs to pangea through the raising of the tower of babel and the union of their forbidden loves. He helps authors find their way to the public spotlight through his website http://www.bookflurry.com and has published for more than 40 authors all over the world.

Author bio:
I'm retired and home is Orlando, Florida. I started writing a number of years ago just before the internet came into our lives. I was very serious about developing my writing skills. Even though I was writing mainly for my own pleasure and satisfaction, not as means of making a living. After a few feeble attempts at getting published, I soon lost interest. A recent gift was an ebook reader which I've enjoyed immensely. This got me thinking about the stories and poetry I wrote years ago. Reading my old stuff, I felt that that mine compared favorably. So, I decided to try publishing in ebooks and see if any readers are interested. I intend to submit a book of my short stories and a book of poetry. Over the years I've had a number of interests in addition to writing. I became interested in gems and minerals after some family members retired and moved to Franklin, North Carolina. During visits there I became aware of the gem mining in that area. My interest in North Carolina history developed while working on my family's genealogy. I discovered that my ancestors arrived in North Carolina from Scotland in the late 1700's. More recently I've done nature photography, some of which I smugly call "Art Photography". (Maybe, maybe not!)
