A Suicidal Man | by Renee Pippens Jan. 18, 2012 | Free! | 1315 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I have several book titles to offer and, like every other author, I wish to sell my books, but I don’t expect anyone to buy a pig in a poke. In other words, who should I expect to be willing to take a chance on whether or not my writing style is any good without the advantage of sampling its flavor? How many times have you gone into a grocery store and noticed a new product and said to yourself, “Hmm, that sure looks yummy. Perhaps I should give it a try.†But then you recall what happened the last time you purchased a particular food just because the picture on the box looked appealing. -You ended up with a bulk-load of crap that made even the dog wish for a second night of Ramen Noodles. There were also times when you went into a grocery store and noticed a product, along with a friendly person sitting in front a platter full of freshly sautéed bite sized morsels. All it took was one taste to make you want to gobble-up the entire platter – toothpick and all. The same goes for books because so many times readers are lured in by an attractive front cover and sometimes even an exciting back cover summary, but after you’ve purchased the book, or wasted your time lugging it home from the library, you discover that it is not what you expected. Wouldn’t it be grand if, before purchasing a book, you could read a few short stories by the author just to get a feel of his writing style? Yes it would, and that is why I thank Heaven for a smashwords opportunity. Enjoy – toothpick and all. I am operating without an agent, and I have sole and exclusive rights to every one of my stories posted. All of my material has been copyrighted. I will be posting a new story each Monday, on or around twelve-noon eastern time. The length of each story will be at least 17,000 words, and a summary will be posted along with it.

Tomb | by B.A. Savage Jan. 24, 2012 | Free! | 21121 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I plan on writing 30+ books, but I need help from you, the readers. Motivation is a tool that I lack. Creativity is a resource where "my cup" runneth over. So, please, if you have anything positive to say, polite criticism to give, or you simply want to say hi, feel free to. And remember, a review can be a detailed essay or a simple "I loved it". So far, there are a total of six books completed. The other four will be added to this site, if you show me some love! I have created a Marvel like universe. I love the X-men, yet didn't want to create a world that is too open ended and simply explained by a 'mutant' gene. My characters are more works of human curiosity and human stupidity with a twist of twilight zone humor. Thank you for reading this, reading my works, and I'm out like last night's bathwater! |

Gun Manifesto | by David Majlak July 30, 2011 | You set the price! | 2243 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Before you begin, if you've purchased any of my works, thank you so, so much. I really hope you enjoy the creativity and effort i've (tried to) put into making it the best that I can as food for the soul and the mind as a sort of escape. I sincerely appreciate your patronage, whether it's worth anything or if it was free, all the same. I enjoy putting custom computers together, video games, my mom, my wife, my dog, and learning useful information. I'm very good with accomplishing tasks despite not having the proper tools for the job. I do not like bees, spiders touching me, poison ivy, hearing Congress making illogical decisions, when my wife yells at me, when my mom yells at me, when my dog pees inside on the carpet, or when my computer crashes on me. I have a great sense of humor, a fine amount of wit, and use sarcasm very well. I also despise reality TV shows because my wife dominates the TV with them. I am friendly, understanding, and quite hospitable. I've never been in a fistfight, an accident, or on a plane. I'm also an expecting father. I'm also an expecting father a hair away from poverty. If I wasn't, I would most likely have a physical copy of my own books :) I wish I had the money to perform beneficial works to society for nothing in return, I wish I could paint and read and study and meditate all day, and I wish I could share the more important aspects of life with everyone. |

Cemetery At The End Of Harvey Road | by Wayne Rohrer Jan. 12, 2012 | Free! | 80973 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Coming from a small town in the Midwest, the author used the Navy as a stepping stone to college in California where he got a degree from the California State University, Chico. During his first two years of college, he majored in Journalism where he learned the fine art of journalistic writing. He had a dream of traveling the world photographing and writing about current breaking events. Although the dream lives on, the photography and the writing have become more of a hobby than a career. That window of opportunity is gone, but the joy of writing remains strong. As is usually the case, life got in the way and he ended up getting a degree in a field totally unrelated to writing or photography. He changed the focus of his studies and earned a degree in Psychology. The bulk of his career was spent working in the California Department of Mental Health where he worked in various capacities ranging from a psychiatric nurse to the Hospital Administrator of one of the state hospitals. That is where his creative writing skills were really put to the test. Looking back over the course of his career, the single most important element that stands above all others is his ability to write effectively. Being an avid reader, he read work related journals and scholarly books on treating the psychiatric patient, but he also read the entire works of authors such as Dean Koontz and John Grisham. He marveled at their ability to weave an engaging story. It was only through the encouragement of friends that he set out to write a book of his own. The author lives a quiet life in the small college town of Cotati, in Northern California. The first, and only, book by this author is entitled: The Cemetery At The End of Harvey Road. The story sprang from a single experience from his college days, an episode late one night on a lonely road leading to the cemetery at the end of Harvey Road. With a friend, he encountered a dark shadowy figure with a gun blocking their passage on the road. From that single experience, this book seemed to write itself. There were times when he wondered who was in control of the story. He seemed but a conduit to ensure the story made it to paper. The story took on a life of its own and controlled the many twists and turns leading to its inevitable conclusion. The author has just completed a second book which he feels is better crafted then the first one. The second book entitled Breaking Point follows the lives of four people who are on a path to their breaking point. Everyone has a breaking point. What is yours? Please look for this book to be published within the next few weeks. If you, the reader, have comments regarding the books by this author, he can be reached at the following email address: wayne.rohrer@att.net. Please put the book title in the subject line to ensure your comments receive the proper attention and response. |

The Ring | by Becky Carr April 08, 2012 | Free! | 3179 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I began writing at a very young age (I'm not exactly sure when). The first major project I did was an adaptation of Peter Pan for my fourth grade class to perform, then, my teachers had me also write a Christmas play. I've always loved reading and have immersed myself in such books as The Chronicles of Narnia, Peter Pan, Robin Hood, And The Lord of the Rings since early childhood. This has leant my writing style to more gothic-style fantasy and occult fiction, but also some poetry. My ninth grade English teacher read a few of my scribblings and suggested I enter a poetry contest. I did, and my first poem was recognized. Thus began my professional writing life. At 16, one of my poems was featured in a Texas High School Anthology which the aforementioned English teacher now holds in her classroom. From that point until this I've called myself a writer. |

Aftermath: Found | by Richard Schwarz May 12, 2012 | Free! | 2556 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Richard Schwarz always had an insatiable curiosity for the feminine form that started the first time he looked through one of his father's gentleman's magazine at age seven. Without the stigma of modern society to contend with, his young imagination blossomed with the possibility of engaging a woman's delectable delights. Creative story telling sprang from the fertile field of his mind and as he matured erotic day dreaming followed. Several years of discovery, escapades, and a move from the south to Missouri later, Richard Schwarz decided to pursue a dream and begin writing. The subject matter he laces each story with came easily from his earliest fantasies and his later exploits. As a responsible father and husband balancing a job and a new found career in erotica, he never forgets the most important thing to him which is his family. In the wee hours of the night, after he's satisfied his wife's insatiable lust for his husbandly duties, his mind drifts away in content as he reflects on his interracial relationship. Eventually, although the names have been changed and the scenarios elaborated upon, he begins to tell his tales so that others may enjoy them as well. |

The hungry lion and the donkey | by Tales By Roohi May 19, 2012 | Free! | 1201 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: A long, long time ago; legends and folk tales were used by people as a way of captivating the imagination of children and adults alike. Elders would use stories in order to impart the ways of the community, wisdom and morals to the rest and thereby also fostering a strong community spirit. I have always been fascinated by mythology and being born in Kenya, the connection to Africa has also been strong. Africa is a melting pot of thousands of different communities with their own specific cultures, traditions and stories! However most of these stories were never written and over time communities have started to lose their stories. I came to Cape Town, South Africa on a corporate secondment and the existence of so many different tribes just within South Africa intrigued me. I realised that a lot of the culture and traditions that used to be in existence several years ago, had gradually diminished over time. This project was borne as a result; with the aim of preserving the stories, legends and folk tales of some of the South African cultures through children. It is hoped that these books will help the youth of South Africa to re-connect with their cultures as well as to raise awareness and tolerance of others. Through sales of this book, I hope to raise funding in order to donate printed books to needy children in less privileged schools. Some of these stories have been collected through interacting with the local communities and others through research. Due to the lack of historic documented records as well as evolution and adaptation of some of the stories over time; it is difficult to guarantee the originality and uniqueness of the stories. The stories gathered have been further adapted to make them more captivating for today’s children. |

Fistful of Reefer | by David Mark Brown July 13, 2011 | Free! | 78852 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I wrote my first award-winning story in 4th Grade, titled “The human bean.†It wasn’t a play on words. Intending to write a profound piece about the human condition, it turns out I wrote a mutant story about a human/legume crossbreed. (Curse you, phonics!) Now I write from the unique perspective of being born and raised on a cattle ranch in Texas while attending University in Missoula, Montana, thus spawning the world’s most self-proclaimed redneck granola. The years in between haven’t improved my spelling, but they’ve created a hell of a human bean. My first book, Tainted Love: God, Sex and Relationships for the Not-so-pure-at-heart (written from all my soiled experiences) was published in 2002 by InterVarsity Press. After several years of retooling myself as a novelist (by drinking more and making less money) I reemerged in 2009 with the concept for Reeferpunk. My lovely wife and I adopted our first child from Vietnam and recently produced a second boy through more traditional means. When not spinning genius into the aethernet I obsess over home wine making, earthen construction, gardening, social justice, ultimate Frisbee and the promotion of industrial hemp.

I'm not CRAZY! | by Christopher David Petersen Dec. 08, 2011 | Free! | 20740 words | Read a sample |
| 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 |

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... it’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, I’ll buy, but nothing else. Writing is relatively new for me. I’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 “how to’s†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 – my imagination has soared and I’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 (Glenn’s is awesome!!!! Think the depth of Lord of the Rings with the immediacy of Harry Potter and you’ve got it!). But I want to share something with you all… Glenn has battled Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia almost his entire life. That’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. Honestly… I’m running to keep up with him but I’m mostly just out of breath! So… the bottom line is… we’re all just human with all our challenges and it’s those challenges that make what we create that much better. Please… If you like to read… then write. If you like to paint… then paint. Pick up that paintbrush and start. For writing, get to your keyboard and begin. We think you’ll surprise yourself at your talents. And, again… 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 |

Fables of Pangaea: The Story Never Told | by Dwayne McMillan May 11, 2011 | Free! | 5120 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: You have now stepped into the Dwayne Zone. Let me be the first to welcome you to a world of imagination and adventure. I’m from a small town in Florida where I grew up like so many others, trying to find my true calling. I’ve always had a strong imagination but it took time to fully realize that my dream was to become a writer. Once I started down this path, I knew it was the right one. I have enjoyed every step of the journey and met some very interesting people along the way. This is a world where dreams do come true. I act as a freelancer on the side, doing the odd job here and there. It’s very enjoyable to help someone bring their dreams to life. So what made me decide to become a writer? It was an easy decision. The freedom of creating my own worlds and then sharing those places with others is an experience like none other. I hope you enjoy my stories. Without you reading them, these worlds would never come to life. I hope you enjoy your stay in the Dwayne Zone. :) |
