I've written things for ages, but since I'm currently unemployed (but looking to go self-employed for various projects - get in touch if you think I might be able to do something for you, incidentally!) I thought I'd give this self-publishing thing a shot. As I write this, I'm preparing to launch Not Quite Normal, a short story anthology. Over the next few weeks (it's currently the end of January 2012 in case I never update this!), I'll be releasing a few free stories from it. You can find out more information about the project on my blog, the link to which should be below this bio. Thanks for checking this out. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any comments or just want to chat. I'm pretty easy to find online, since I'm the only person who has ever had my name in human history. Which is pretty neat! Take care, and happy reading! Shane

Soul Survivors	by GlennAndSasha Gabriel Nov. 23, 2011	Free!	713 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Update Notice: Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting our Authors Page. We have now published for FREE, Book Two of our Amanda Ackers Novels, "Amanda Ackers and The Realm Of The Witches"! Having published Book One, "Amanda Ackers and The Deep Forest Elves" for FREE on January 3rd, 2012, and having that Novel downloaded just over 3,165 times by March 29th, 2012, we are blown away! Sasha and I are working on Book Three of the series, "Amanda Ackers and The Thirteen Shards Of Legend." It should be available sometime in 2013, as we are both working on other novels as well. Several people have requested reading Book Three, prior to its publication. Should any like a pre-release version when we get to the editing stage, please let us know. As you may know, we do require you to sign a non-disclosure agreement and fax it back to us... itâ€™s just good business practice after all. Adding up the downloads from our novel and all our short stories, the first short published on November 14, 2011, our total downloads have now reached over 11,443 as of March 29th, 2012! We are very thankful to you all, for supporting our work, which we do for the enjoyment of it. Our thanks also, to the many of you who have emailed us with kind comments on our stories and the first two books of our novel series, and those who have requested receiving a pre-release version of Book Three. We had never thought of doing a pre-release, but what a great idea! It gave many a chance to read the novels before we actually published them. Thanks to all of you! We are most humbled by the response we have received, and thank you from the top, middle and bottom of our hearts! If anyone would like to correspond with us, please shoot us an email when you get the chance, we would love to hear from you. Email us at: GlennAndSasha@gmail.com -------------------------------------------- Hello and thank you for visiting our Smashwords.com page. My name is Sasha Gabriel, and I would like to take a few moments to say a little about Glenn and myself. They say that creativity belongs to the young. Well, not always. Young at heart, Iâ€™ll buy, but nothing else. Writing is relatively new for me. Iâ€™ve been an avid reader for most of my 60+ years. But writing seemed daunting. How do you write an idea to get over to other people without boring them to death? How do you write conversations that sound like the people who are speaking them? Once I studied the â€œhow toâ€™sâ€ a bit, and with the encouragement from Glenn, my wonderful husband and best friend, I started writing. And I love it. So does Glenn. Writing has opened a door for me that nothing else has â€“ my imagination has soared and Iâ€™m absolutely thrilled and thankful, from the bottom of my heart, that others like my writing, as well. Both Glenn and I have been submitting very, very short stories (no more than 600 word stories) because these are also being entered into a writing contest with that directive. At the same time, both Glenn and I are writing novels (Glennâ€™s is awesome!!!! Think the depth of Lord of the Rings with the immediacy of Harry Potter and youâ€™ve got it!). But I want to share something with you allâ€¦ Glenn has battled Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia almost his entire life. Thatâ€™s a mouthful, for sure, but try living with them on a daily basis! Even so, Glenn has worked to overcome the more serious side effects and his talent in writing, painting, and all over creativity is nothing short of staggering. Honestlyâ€¦ Iâ€™m running to keep up with him but Iâ€™m mostly just out of breath! Soâ€¦ the bottom line isâ€¦ weâ€™re all just human with all our challenges and itâ€™s those challenges that make what we create that much better. Pleaseâ€¦ If you like to readâ€¦ then write. If you like to paintâ€¦ then paint. Pick up that paintbrush and start. For writing, get to your keyboard and begin. We think youâ€™ll surprise yourself at your talents. And, againâ€¦ Thank You all for your kind and generous words of appreciation for our stories! It means the world to us! ----------------------------- Glenn here. Just wanted to add that we never thought anyone would even read our work, let alone have downloaded our little stories thousands of times in such a short time. Because of the kind words from you all, I will continue to write. I have, as Sasha had mentioned, been writing the Amanda Ackers novel series, with Sasha contributing several chapters to each book. I had only begun writing the novel for fun, for our grandson Logan. I was not going to publish it, just print it out to give to him. However, with all the encouragement I have received via email, from those reading our little short stories, I have decided to publish the first two books of the Amanda Ackers series for FREE. Everyone keeps telling us we need to charge for them, so, should we decide to do so, they will be no more than $0.99 cents in U.S. Dollars :) My many thanks to all of you, for your continued support. Please feel free to contact Sasha and I at the following email address. We would love to hear from you, even to just say hi: GlennAndSasha@gmail.com

Samantha and the Bear	by Jay Greenstein July 15, 2011	Free!	81289 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Iâ€™m a storyteller. My skills at writing are subject to opinion, my punctuation has been called interesting, at bestâ€”but I am a storyteller. I am, of course, many other things. In seven decades of living, there are great numbers of things that have attracted my attention. I am, for example, an electrician. I can also design, build, and install a range of things from stairs and railings to flooring, and tile backsplashes. I can even giftwrap a box from the inside, so to speak, by wallpapering the house. Iâ€™m an engineer, one who has designed computers and computer systems; one of whichâ€”during the bad old days of the cold warâ€”flew in the plane designated as the American Presidentâ€™s Airborne Command Post: The Doomsday Jet. Iâ€™ve spent seven years as the chief-engineer of a company that built bar-code readers. I spent thirteen of the most enjoyable years of my life as a scoutmaster, and three, nearly as good, as a cubmaster. I joined the Air Force to learn jet engine mechanics, but ended up working in broadcast and closed circuit television, serving in such unlikely locations as the War Room of the Strategic Air Command, and a television station on the island of Okinawa. I have been involved in sports car racing, scuba diving, sailing, and anything else that sounded like fun. I can fix most things that break, sew a fairly neat seam, and have raised three pretty nice kids, all of who are smarter and prettier than I amâ€”more talented, too, thanks to the genes my wife kindly provided. Once, while camping with a group of cubs and their families, one of the dads announced, â€œYou guys better make up crosses to keep the Purple Bishop away.â€ When I asked for more information, the man shrugged and said, â€œI donâ€™t really know much about the story. Itâ€™s some kind of a local thing that was mentioned on my last camping trip.â€ Intrigued, I wondered if I could come up with something to go with his comment about the crosses; something to provide a gentle terror-of-the-night to entertain the boys. The result was a virtual forest of crosses outside the boysâ€™ tents. That was the event that switched on something within me that, now, more than twenty-five years later, I canâ€™t seem to switch off. Stories came and cameâ€¦ so easily it was sometimes frightening. Stories so frightening that one boy swore he watched my eyes begin to glow with a dim red light as I told them (it was the campfire reflecting from my glasses, but I didnâ€™t tell him that). Then, someone asked for a copy of one of my campfire stories, which brought me to the word processor. When that was finished, I wondered: could I write something other than technical articles and campfire stories? Something with dialog? â€œSomething with dialog,â€ when completed, led to: Can I write in the first person? Do an adventure? A romance? Having finally sold a few novels (three, to date, the latest to Double Dragon) plus a handful of short stories, I am living proof that if you work at something for long enough you will eventually get it right.
