"Fire & Ice" (ABDL BedTime Stories) by Zorro Daddy March 23, 2012 $4.99 16959 words Sample 10%
Author bio:
Give me the moment and I'll tell you a tale. Give me a lifetime and I'll show you a saga. I’m a storyteller, a writer, a “Daddy” and a nightowl who makes good use of the calm and the quiet of 3 am, scribbling ABDL romance stories on a piece of paper when not taking late night road trips to Wal-Mart. An author of ABDL romance and erotic stories. Likes to focus in on the storyline, making it as compelling and as realistic as the characters. His stories always include a dominant male and a submissive female. I like to spend a lot of time detailing the thoughts and thought process of the characters, particularly the female. Each story in a series is written with the intent of showing a progression of the couple's relationship, making it possibly for them to discover more about each other and explore the desires of their hearts at a level which is deeper, more personal and more meaningful. ABDL will always be the base of my author's soul, bu I like to include humiliation, embarrassment, spankings, thrills and such - perhaps a little more BDSM than ABDL. Pulling from my life experiences as a "Daddy" as well as the future within my soul, there's always a story in my head and I will always write stories and every word will be a piece of my heart.

"GreenCapitalism!" How it can save our planet. by Keith Mcilroy July 19, 2011 Free! 10191 words Read a sample
Author bio:
My journey to Green-Capitalism "there is no need for there to be a 'loser' between economic growth and environmental protection" I have spent most of my professional life identifying the need for change in organisations then helping those organisations to make those changes. From turning around insolvent companies and integrating corporate acquisitions through to culture change programs on factory floors and in sales teams. Like most people deeply involved in business, my focus was on this quarter's profit, this month's sales, this week's cash flow. I paid scant regard to what was happening in the rest of the world, especially anything vaguely environmental. This started to change when my family flew into Manchester airport in 2000 to join me in the UK. It was raining. Hardly surprising for Manchester. Over the next few months it continued to rain and there was more and more discussion on climate change. At the time I dismissed this, along with 'peak oil' and 'global warming', as fear mongering from people who should get a 'proper job'. Then in April 2001, it was announced that the previous 12 months had been the wettest in the UK since records began. And records began in the 17th Century. That caused me to wonder a wee bit. But only for a bit as I soon went back to my insular business world and stayed there, even when we returned to Australia to find ourselves in the middle of the 'hundred year drought'. Then, in 2003 The Business Council of Australia invited me to join their working group that was preparing a range of scenarios for Australia in 20 years time. 'Aspire Australia 2025' was put together over 12 months by running workshops with seventy of the leading thinkers in Australia. We looked at every aspect of life in Australia. Our competitiveness, strategic defence, values and norms, our governance and our sustainability. That experience triggered the start of my journey. A journey that was initially focussed on climate change for the more that I researched the arguments for and against, the more I came to the conclusion that this was a 'clear and present threat' to our quality of life. It also quickly became clear that, until the business community took the risk seriously, then we would always struggle to make the changes needed to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. And here was where the nub of the problem was. Business had great difficulty seeing how we could both, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and also maintain the economic growth that is so fundamental to their business success. In the same way that business saw the 20th Century as a battle between labour and capital, many now saw the 21st Century as being a battle between economic growth and environmental protection. Yet, there was no real 'loser' in the battle between labour and capital, so there is no need for there to be a 'loser' between economic growth and environmental protection. Hence my promotion of Green-Capitalism. I write, I speak and I present on how we can have our cake and eat it too. For those promoters of environmental protection who are cynical of capitalism, I would ask you to remember that capitalism has dragged millions of people around the world out of the miserable existence so well documented by Charles Dickens and that capitalism, properly motivated, can achieve rapid change in society. For the promoters of economic growth who see environmentalists as a threat to our prosperity, I would ask you recognise we live on a planet of finite resources with a delicate ecosystem. The sooner we modify our business practices to use renewable resources without unnecessarily damaging our ecosystem, the more confident we can be that our prosperity can continue for our kids and grandkids.

"I Fly" by Andrew Hawcroft April 18, 2012 $5.99 48902 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
First, a deep heartfelt thanks to those who have already bought my books off SMASHWORDS. I hope very much you enjoy them. Secondly, I'm pleased to say that all my Young Adult novels are now also available to buy on Amazon as Kindle books. I'm 37, English, a former gym instructor,and I write Young Adult fiction, specialising in a style I'd call gritty, 'fantasy-edged' realism. My debut YA novel, "I FLY", was represented for a time by Becky Bagnell of the Lindsay Literary Agency before we parted ways in 2009. I have written 10 more YA novels since then, none yet published, though some came close. Not enough moody teen vampires? I also write stageplays, and made my pro debut in November 2011 when my stage adaptation of four M.R. James ghost stories, which I called AN UNSETTLING EVENING, ran at the Palace Theatre, Southend, London. I have written a musical based on THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW, and purely for my own pleasure, since it hasn't a hope of getting made, a stageplay based on DOCTOR WHO. I also write film screenplays, and sold the option to one, INGRID's BEACH in 2009 to a Dublin production company before the recession bit and funding was pulled. The option has been returned to me. I also write TV drama pilots, pantomimes (some produced) and music. Favourite books: THE KRAKEN WAKES by John Wyndham CHOCKY by John Wyndham
"I Will Drink Your Blood" The Vampire-Werewolf of Flat Creek Swamp by R. Harper Mason Jan. 19, 2012 $2.99 75245 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Biography of the author, R. Harper Mason Richard was born in El Dorado, but spent his early years in Norphlet, Arkansas, a little town of 650 people located in the south Arkansas oil fields. When he was eight-years-old he moved a mile out of town to a farm on the edge of Flat Creek Swamp. The stories in The Red Scarf and Lyin' Like a Dog novels are based, in part, on his adventures in and around Flat Creek Swamp. While these stories are historical fiction, they are based on incidents and situations that happened to Richard and his good friend John Clayton as they prowled the swamp. Richard was the town paper boy for several years during this time and his relationship with many of the characters mentioned in The Red Scarf and Lyin' Like a Dog are based on his actual interaction with these people. Richard graduated from Norphlet High School, enrolled in the University of Arkansas, and graduated with a bachelors and masters degree in geology. He spent six years working for Exxon; initially on the famous King Ranch in South Texas and then in Benghazi, Libya, where he worked in the desert as a well-site geologist. During his time in the desert he began to write his first novel, but before he could finish the manuscript, he was transferred back to Corpus Christi, Texas. It would be over thirty years before Richard would begin to write again. This time it was after he had quit Exxon, started his own company, and moved back from Texas to South Arkansas, and instead of a 1920 oil boom novel, it was The Red Scarf. Richard has numerous interests, and he has received many awards for his environmental work and for historic preservation. He was president of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation for three years and was named Conservationist of the Year in 1989. He has received numerous awards for historic preservation, the most noteworthy being the highest statewide award given, The Parker Westbrook Award. In August of 2008 Richard was featured in the High Profile section of the Arkansas Democrat- Gazette. Richard is 6’ 2” tall and weighs 170 pounds, an avid tennis player, collector of antique maps, nationally published author, and an honored conservationist

"It Is What It Is...But It Doesn't Have To Be That Way." by Janyata Frazier March 31, 2012 Free! 51643 words Read a sample
Author bio:
“It is what it is, but it doesn’t have to be that way.” That’s her motto, and it’s also the title of her book. Janyata Frazier has authored a book that couples her charm and wit while presenting motivationally inspired principles for shaping and developing one’s character. Growing up the daughter of entrepreneur parents, while other kids were reading Nancy Drew novels, James and Jeanette had their daughter reading motivational speakers such as Napoleon Hill, Zig Ziggler, and Earl Nightingale. Jan was enamored with the stories that these speakers would tell, but the bottom line would always be the same: “You are in control of you;” “What you think you are, you are;” and “Dream plus action equals success.” Being a product of that entrepreneurial home, it wasn’t a question of if Jan would create her own business; the real question was what will her business be? To the surprise of her parents, although she did get her real estate license, Jan didn’t stick with the family business of real estate; rather, she became one of the first certified teachers in her family. Teaching led her to Kobe, Japan where she taught English for two years at a Japanese high school, but along with it she brought her entrepreneurial spirit. Recognizing the absence of quality black hair care professionals in her area, Jan, along with her friend opened up a hair salon in her apartment. The small business simply called “My Girl’s Place,” offered hair services, dinner, and a movie for $75! Not knowing how to say no to a challenge, Jan once accepted the task of giving a client layers although she’d never even cut bangs before. While in Japan, Jan captivated the attention and amusement of friends stateside by sending write ups of her experiences in Japan in a series entitled “There’s a Chocolate Chip in the Noodles.” Although the speed of life prevented Jan from completing the book, she didn’t abandon her desire to create a book based upon her personal experiences. When necessity created a need, Jan put her vision on paper and penned her first book “It Is What It Is, But It Doesn’t Have To Be That Way.” Not willing to let another summer pass without her reaching her goal of completing her book, Jan went to Raleigh, North Carolina and spent her days writing and watching TV while staying with her eldest brother, Tony. In late 2009, Jan opened her first corporation by launching Top Shelf Books Publishing House, LLC. Jan’s book will be self published and released in 2010. She’s currently in the planning stages of creating a second book; this one is targeted at teens. “There’s a real need for it, I talk to my students every day, I’m sure they can benefit from a book written directly to and for them.” Jan, like many of her students, could have benefited from more interesting, yet, instructional reading selections that were targeted to teens. A native of Decatur, Georgia , Jan attended Southwest DeKalb High School before she became a Literature major at Agnes Scott College also in Decatur . While at Agnes Scott, Frazier received training as a prejudice reduction workshop leader. Along with her peers, Jan led workshops to help train students, faculty and staff members along with the school’s administration. Frazier currently teaches Creative Writing and various English courses at Cedar Grove High School in Ellenwood, Georgia.

My beauty is shown in the love I project even before I speak, you respect...the silence of my voice, my eyes say so much more, look beyond the beauty I am who you adore…for what I have to offer is quietly stored…away, God holds the key so get on one knee ask for me go ahead pray. Not having a career of my own to be a good mother…”was already written in stone”, hardships, bad credit, and God is what I discovered, pushed aside my dreams to secure a good future for my sons and my daughters…no good fathers, friends, or lovers…no smoking or drinking…wait let me re-think it… My children would have been left on their own it was a struggle everyday just trying to keep the lights on…even though I have a house it’s not my home Through Gods love, grace, and mercy I’m no longer living on the streets warm bed and something good to eat… Because of God’s love I stayed above water, so if you’re not on his team, then don’t even bother…don’t think you will break me I give God the glory I am just getting started… Hey!

"No," She Said. by Stanfield Major April 10, 2011 $1.99 4347 words Sample 40%
Author bio:
Stanfield Major was born in Normal, Illinois, but soon left normal behind. Raised in nearby Eureka, where Ronald Reagan went to college, he observed the tumult of the late 1960s and early 1970s from the somewhat detached perspective of the middle west. At the age of fourteen, stung by the same bug as both his parents, he began scribbling. He started with short unrhymed poems. And then he tried fiction, novels he didn’t finish. About a year later he began writing song lyrics. His creative life has consisted of a restless shifting from one to another of these forms of expression. Although, until recently, songwriting has been his main focus. He’s spent most of his life trying to find his place in this world. Hammering on doors that didn’t open. Wandering shabby alleyways in the twilight haze. Living the experiences that now inform his work. Since the mysteries of sexuality have always galvanized his creative imagination he began, several years ago, posting to Literotica, an online forum for writers of erotica. Over the next two years he wrote enough erotic short stories to fill a book. That was how Balls Of Cobalt Blue, and, later, Call Me Pandora, came to be. Stanfield now resides in Kingman, Arizona and is working on another book of erotic short stories, a couple of romance novels, and plans to produce several more CDs in which songs using his lyrics are showcased. The first CD, Crossroads And Highways, was released in 2008 by the band 7th And Beale. Inspiration: Many of my stories, “Win/Win Situation”, “Royally Fucked”, “Motorcycle Mama”, “Turnabout”, and “Ocean Interlude”, for instance, were written in response to a specific woman asking me to write a story based on her particular fantasies. In the same way that being touched by someone else is more exciting than touching oneself, seeing your fantasies filtered through the mind of another can add to the thrill. And for me, as a writer, the delight of challenging myself to inhabit another’s skin and see the world through her eyes is profoundly satisfying. Someone reviewing “Royally Fucked” said, “Definitely written by a woman”. That’s the highest compliment. That’s what I’m aiming for. If you have a fantasy you’d like to see filtered through my erotic mind please contact me through my blog “From My Erotic Mind” (see link on this page) and if your fantasy inspires me the world might see the result (your part will be acknowledged only if you wish it to be). Whether you have a fantasy or not I’d love to hear from you.

Author bio:
Crimson Rose is an erotica writer dedicated to the principle that erotic fiction can be red-hot raunchy while also being written with intelligence, elegance and style. When asked about the subject matter of her stories she had this to say: "I sometimes deal with strange and taboo subject matter, but my stories are never dark and my characters are never victims (though some of them may pretend otherwise). My characters always enjoy and exult in their sexuality, engaging in their various unusual and illicit acts with unapologetic joy and a zest for life." Crimson Rose has been writing erotic fiction for more than two decades. Her stories were written mainly for the pleasure of herself, her husband, and a few select friends. But now they are here for the enjoyment of all.
