Author bio:
Wie is Luc Vos? Lang geleden (in 1968) werd ik geboren Herk-de-Stad, waar ik opgroeide en verbleef tot ik huwde en verhuisde naar het mooie, landelijke Heultje (Westerlo) in de Antwerpse Kempen. Dat was in 1996. Sindsdien is het gezin uitgebreid met één zoontje en hou ik mij - naast gaan werken uiteraard - bezig met allerlei hobbies. Zoals lopen, muziek beluisteren, muziek spelen (gitaar en djembe), lezen, tuinieren, film, wandelen, snowboarden, etc... Sinds 2002 is daar echter nog een creatieve hobby bijgekomen, namelijk schrijven. Dat het eerste product zag in 2003. Meriumbe, de vlucht van het Heilig Vuur Om in 2004 gevolgd te worden door een nieuw boek. Deel twee van de Meriumbe trilogie. Na deel twee van de Meriumbe trilogie is het een hele tijd stil geweest. Deel drie van de trilogie is nog altijd 'work in progress'. Om deze lange periode van literaire stilte te doorbreken was er in 2009 gelukkig een nieuw boek. Geen boek van mij alleen, maar een bundel. 'Time Out'. Een literaire ontmoeting van een 15-tal schrijvers die elk een sci-fi / thriller / spannend verhaal afgeleverd hebben, gebundeld in dit unieke project. Time Out verscheen in juli 2009. En nu heb ik een nieuwe stap genomen door mijn eerste stap te zetten in het e-publishen. 'De eenzame weg naar de hel' is nu te vinden in verschillende e-stores. Op naar de volgende... :-) Luc
"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

Author bio:
GENE GROSSMAN was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in the North side neighborhood of Albany Park, where he attended Hibbard Elementary and Von Steuben High School. He pursued majors in psychology, chemistry and mathematics at Wright Junior College, Roosevelt University and Illinois Institute of Technology - all the while working his way through high school and college by playing piano in clubs on Chicago's then-famous "Rush Street." After moving to Southern California, he worked his way through law school playing piano and appeared as a musician in seven major motion pictures. While slowly building his law practice, Gene purchased a truckload of movie equipment he rented out to film production companies. Always having been interested in boating, getting divorced prompted him to buy and move onto a 45-foot Chris Craft motor yacht in Marina del Rey California,. Years later, while serving as navigator on a yacht delivery from the U.S. to Tortola, Gene wrote his first book, "Celestial Navigation for Dummies" (before the popular series of 'Dummies' books was created). He used his own production equipment to shoot a video on the subject Celestial Navigation - "Sextant Use and the Sun Noon Shot" and unintentionally started the nautical video industry in this country. Over the next few years he followed that first title up with more than 50 other educational DVD titles, all displayed on his production company's website at www.MagicLampDVDs.com. Having moved on from doing scripts for his video productions, Gene turned to writing fiction, and now spends most of his time in the marina on his new boat, where he created the 15-book series of 'Peter Sharp Legal Mysteries,' all now available both in print and as eBooks at Smashwords via www.LegalMystery.com In addition to the 15 Peter Sharp novels, Gene compiled a group of fiction and non-fiction titles that he has either written or edited for others, plus some classic stories: the publishing company he formed (www.MagicLampPress.com) now has more than 60 books in print.

Author bio:
eBook Reviews Weekly called Richard “…one of this century's leading authors of innovative fantasy tales." Molly Martin calls him “…a skillful weaver of tales.” Richard has this to say, “Making the transition from President of a computer consulting firm servicing Fortune 500 companies to the reclusive life of creating new worlds is not as difficult a task as one would imagine. Both require organization, patience, and a vision of what is possible.” Richard S. Tuttle accomplishes this transition in a dramatic way with the release of over twenty novels dealing with three entirely created worlds. The Forgotten Legacy Series evolves around a continent comprised of three countries with widely diverse cultures. The Targa Trilogy, Sword of Heavens series, and the Demonstone Chronicles deal not only with a diverse world, but widely varied universes as well. His ability to create a believable world and unique characters is already drawing a following of readers.

Author bio:
Harry H. Hawkins, III was born in Washington D.C. in January of 1979 where he lived until he was four years old. He always had an active imagination and a love for science fiction and fantasy. As a testament to that fact Harry created his first unique character when he was in the sixth grade. Over the next few years Harry continued to draw new characters, a skill that his father helped him develop, fueling his passion for creation. When he was fifteen, Harry made a drawing that would alter his life; he drew all of his current characters in one setting engaged in combat. Later that night he made a story to explain why the interactions between the characters were taking place and the significance of those relationships. Thus was the start of the 2 Kingdoms Saga. For the next few years through high school Harry continued to draw and create new characters. While attending Emory University, he had an epiphany: he loved to write and he had created just over two hundred unique characters all with names and a part to play in his story that now stretched three generations. It was at this time that he decided to share the world of the Anakim with the world. Debating over what media to use to tell the story, Harry finally decided on writing a book. He realized during his time in college that he could write better than he could draw and so set down with pen and paper and started his first draft. Many years later Harry has completed numerous written works and currently resides in the Metro Atlanta area with his children Harry J. and Kaye and continues to write adding to the 2 Kingdoms Universe.

Author bio:
It only takes a few minutes of thought before Peter Brandt can devise a scenario that would make a fantastic story, and minutes after that before it begins to fill itself in. “I have been able to think up stories all my life but it’s only been in the last seven years that I realized I was abusing my creative side by not writing them down.” Peter retired from the Air Force and began a new career as a Technical Writer. His writing abilities have allowed him to work in Canada, the United States and even in the Middle East. However, its Peter’s love for stories that has brought him into a new realm of writing. His humorous memoir about his life as a soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces and the tragic memoir about his father’s life in a Prisoner-of-War camp at the age of 14 allowed him to refine his writing before he began to venture in writing Young Adult fiction. “I have a very unique way of creating my stories. It begins with a craving, like a smoker who just recently quit cigarettes but still feels an overwhelming craving for a smoke. When that comes, I can’t shake it until I sit down and begin to let my mind wander. Many times I start my quest for a new story by wondering - What If. Soon after I begin to write and can usually get the first draft completed within a few weeks. Maple Express began as a “what if” question that involved a common held belief of the medical community and I’d share it with you but it would give away the storyline.” Peter has taken formal lessons in acting, "I've enjoyed some success as an actor in television and film before my day job as a Lead Technical Writer required me to move out of the country I always write my stories as I see them on the movie screen, which is why writing screenplays are also something I do with ease. I have written a couple of screenplays and shot them as short films with a friend of mine. I can honestly say I have landed in the perfect job for me. I love to write...doesn’t really matter what I write, creatively or technically, writing is a pleasurable experience. It has allowed me to travel and for that I am grateful.”

Author bio:
I was born in West Sussex, England in 1963 and began to show an interest in story telling at the age of 10 when I filled an exercise book with a single story. In the early 1990’s I began to write poetry, that’s what I called it, and wrote around 100-150 poems over the next two years. One poem gave me the idea for a story which became my first novel ‘The Rising’ a horror story. From then on I just kept writing: 3 Phaze – sci-fi, Lagoon – X-files style, King of Kings which became Emun of Mor was short fantasy in the style of the King James Bible, The Boy From Nowhere – sci-fi. Mark – unfinished Emun of Mor Lo the Prophet The Cord – current title. I tried many times to find a publisher but had no idea what I was doing. So as the internet grew I self published the first three on lulu.com, later on Smashwords.com where they are free. As luck would have it I found Vamplit Publishing, an indie publisher that was looking for new work so I sent them a link to my website where they could get a sample and forgot all about it until the request came through for the rest of the book. A year later I was looking at the cover art and being told that the ebook would out soon.

Hi, I’m Nick Taylor, I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, possibly the greatest place on earth. I went to Dakota Ridge High and was in band— that’s right I was a band nerd and no, I don’t have any cool “one time at band camp” stories, so don’t ask. I started writing in October of 2007. I was driving around with a friend and said “hey, I wonder if I can write a book.” So I thought I’d try and write outline and see what happens. Well, I finished the outline and I couldn’t just stop there. I needed to write chapter one and then that would be it. Do you see where this is going? Anyway, after chapter one was done, I had to finish the first book. But I wanted to get input as I went in order to write a better story. I decided to do a podcast of the first three chapters to see what people thought. After the first podcast, I decided that I wanted to continue to do it and more over, I wanted to get a larger listener base. It's all been a wonderful journey from there.
