The Marvelous Mistake by Jean MacIntyre May 16, 2012 $1.99 26340 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
I have been writing for about twenty-five years, while working firstly as a Registered Nurse and later as a Farm Insurance Underwriter. My first four novels were mainly for learning purposes and have long since been discarded – something I now regret. One of them was accepted for publication as an audio book, but the company went out of business before it could be processed. That gave me the encouragement I needed to keep on writing. I have since written two romance novellas. Since retiring, or rather – re-wiring, I have taken up amateur photography and am combining it with writing limericks, to produce photo album books about care for the environment and respect for all life-forms. These are aimed at children. I live in the beautiful Lanark Highlands of Eastern Ontario with my husband Don, and a very independent cat named Little Bud. If you read my books, your comments and rating would be most helpful, and appreciated. You can contact me at dynamac58.yahoo.ca
Wild Side - Alisha's First Threesome by Kracy Wan May 16, 2012 $0.99 10493 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
I am still new to writing erotica, so I beg patience from anyone reading it. Feedback and suggestions are always welcome. At this time I don't have a lot to offer, just a few short stories of varying length and quality. I am experimenting with my writing to see what does the best, so please leave a rating on my stories, good or bad. Even a one star rating is more helpful to me than none at all. I have a particular style of writing which will not be to everyone's preference. I tend to write my stories with a gentler language without going too crazy with the euphemisms. I also try to make sure my characters are relatable and realistic (within reason) and that there is a decent plot. If you are looking for PWP with harsh language, I am afraid I am not your author.

Mother by Michael McDonald May 16, 2012 Free! 4975 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Writer, reader, ranter; The Mike likes an eclectic range of things, but not bananas. He started writing stories before he could write by hand, sticking printed words together to form the sentences in his first days of school, then bothering the teacher to print off more so he could complete his epic. Things have come full circle, as due to injury he finds himself again unable to write by hand, but thanks to the magic box on his desk his prose continues to flow. Being a grumpy misanthropist with a cane leads to a particularly disillusioned undercurrent in his writing, but it's not all doom and gloom. Sometimes he lets most of the characters live. Though sometimes they'll wish they didn't.
