Feed	by Mel Robertson April 27, 2012	$0.99	59247 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: Feed began back in 2004 as a few pages of scribbles that were helping me through continuing to understand what happened on 9/11. We were right in the thick of the twisted media storm from the Bush Administration and a lot of crazy stuff was happening in this country and in Iraq. We had no idea what was going on and we were being kept in fear on a daily basis by our own government so we would continue to support a war and an administration that was only after oil and world dominance. In 2004, Facebook had JUST happened. In 2004 there weren't many of us who had cameras on our phones yet and if we did, we didn't know what to do with them. And in 2004 I was just about to embark on a journey through Hollywood as a fresh-faced writer/producer, which would turn me into a souless, angry, shell of a human being. From the scribbles on my page, I moved to Myspace and started to write a blog as ANon. The blog started with a video that my Director of Photography and I captured while on a location scout in Downtown LA one sunny, Sunday morning. that morning, we witnessed a stabbing on the street and ANon needed to talk about it. She needed to share. She needed to get it and all of her thoughts about the media, the war and how heinous we are to one another off of her chest. Within months, the ANon blog was #10 in the Myspace-sphere, right behind "Belladonna" and "TilaTequila". ANon had just passed Hilary Clinton's blog going into an election year. NPR contacted and asked her to blog as the voice of her generation. Her blog fans weren't just listening, they were interacting. They were engaging in a conversation about the state of the world and they were trying to do something to change it, by reporting the REAL news. And then Myspace shut her down and YouTube yanked her videos. They shut ME down and yanked MY videos. We rebuilt and got them back, but the effect hit home. We only know what they want us to know. A year later, we made the web series and MTV's LOGO and AfterEllen were brave enough to air it. The Huffington Post thought about it, but it was probably a little too low rent for them. I finished the book in that time and literally threw it into the web via Lulu. It's pretty ugly. The grammar sucks and there are typos and tense changes, but I haven't really changed anything from that first printing because it was real for the time. It told a very real story in very real time. Some of it is fictionalized, of course. No one got killed. But, the names have been changed so I don't get sued. I'd love to tell you the real names. I'd love to tell you the truth. I love for reality to be exactly what it was supposed to be: documentary in nature, not a celebrity chasm, but it is what it is. We can only tell the truth. And we must. I'd love to know your thoughts. I'd love to hear about your experiences. My blog is here: melthewriter.tumblr.com/ and my Twitter is here: twitter.com/#!/Melwritesbooks You can watch the web series and the original vids here: youtube.com/user/zeitgrrl Please reach out to say hello and share your thoughts.

Author bio: Born in Ottawa, fifty-two years ago, I have been the owner of a used bookstore I opened in Ontario, since 1990. I have been writing since I was ten. Beginning with poetry, I quickly moved on to short stories and non-fiction pieces. I stayed in that format for many years, eventually self-publishing a franchise manual, as well as a variety of booklets. Having semi-retired from the bookstore, I embarked on the project of writing my first serious novel, which I expanded to a four-book series after discovering an incredible mystery hidden within a French author's books. My interests are eclectic. I like Quantum Physics,Cosmology, history, archaeology, science in general, mechanics, free power, recycling and re-use. I'm a good handyman and can usually fix just about anything. I'm good with computers. I love movies, both good and bad, preferring action and war movies. I can draw and paint fairly well but am so obsessed with perspective and light that I cannot think of much else. I am too detail-oriented. I have been around books all my life. In my mid-forties, I decided to focus on writing as my future job. It took me five years to learn the trade. Now I know how fast I can write and how to develop my story and characters. I always wage an internal war to decide if my next story is going to be a mild mystery or a big stake epic. So far the big stakes are winning
