Author bio:
I am an author that tends to write unconventional works of fiction that aim for challenging those who read them. Though they could use a more-so professional touch to them, my books strive to go beyond the norm of contemporary literature. I've referred to what I do as avant-garde, or anti-novels. My prose and plots are experimental, so if you do not wish to take a chance with me, so shall it be. But if you will...come with me?

Naked and Adrift by J Hacker May 17, 2012 $1.99 64372 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
The seaplane flying scenes come from my life in aviation. I love flying in every form and had to make Frista an enthusiast. I was hired on staff at age sixteen in a resort on a lake in Bear Mountain, New York. Within weeks I heard stories of previous employees owning a sailboat. It eventually sunk but I pursued the stories. Within five weeks we pieced together all the old tales of where she laid at the bottom of our large lake. We found it, raised it and renewed it. That was the very primitive beginning of my ‘yachting’ life. I was in the U.S. Air Force near Seattle and since then have combined my love of sea plane flying with my business of product development. I earned my first writing fee from Western Flyer Magazine, April 1984, from my article - Floatplane Flying in Florida. My many adventures have helped me in writing my first screen play, Hymenoptera ,’92, which was made into a Fox movie of the week ’98 – Legion of Fire/Marabunta. It also is a large influence in this novel as well as in some of the thirty-two essays I wrote for a state-wide publication – First Florida Magazine ’02 – ’08. I’m presently a member of an invitation-only workshop that has produced twenty-nine published authors.

Bill Peters lives in Somerset with his wife Janice and his Border Collie, Tara. He has used words to make a living for much of his adult life by giving lectures and talks in such diverse places as The USA, The Far East, Europe and, of course, in his homeland, the United Kingdom. He likes nothing more than to put pen to paper and to create different worlds for the reader to retreat into - no matter how brief their visit may be. He enjoys roaming the highways and byeways of Exmoor and he is a keen longbow archer - hence the story, "I wonder if it will change anything" in his book of short stories "Stories to be read out loud". He is a qualified archery coach and spends quite a lot of time ensuring that (fairly) small children (and some adults) focus on what they should be doing and not on doing silly things with the lethal weapon called the bow and arrow.

The Fist of God by M.E. Brines May 17, 2012 $2.99 90325 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
The author, M.E. Brines, spent the Cold War assembling atomic artillery shells and preparing to unleash the Apocalypse (and has a medal to prove it.) But when peace broke out, he turned his fevered, paranoid imagination to other pursuits. Designer of more than twenty sci-fi wargames and The Struggle of Nations play-by-e-mail game (all available at www.MEBrines.com) he spends his spare time scribbling another steampunk romance occult adventure novel, which despite certain rumors absolutely DOES NOT involve time-traveling Nazi vampires! A member of the British Society for Psychical Research, he is a long-time student of the occult, a committed Christian*, and author of two dozen books, e-books, chapbooks and pamphlets on esoteric subjects such as Alien Abduction, Alien Hybrids, UFOs, Conspiracies, Mind Control the Falun Gong, esoteric Nazism, the Knights Templar, astrology, magick, the Bible, the spear of Longinius and Christian discipleship. His work has also appeared in Challenge magazine, The Traveller Chronicle, Midnight Times, The Outer Darkness, Tales of the Talisman, and The Willows magazine. *I'm often asked how I square Christianity and "messing around" with the occult, as if I'm partial to bestial things with a goat under the amber light of the moon or something. No so. I'm a student, in the same way I used to study Soviet weapons and tactics back when I was a US Army officer. This gives my work a unique perspective no matter what your belief system. I don't judge, just present the information and let the reader decide.

I came home with a career aptitude test, my idea of fun reading when I was twelve. My brother still teases me about that. But from that test, I learned I was suited for three careers. Editor, Agent or Writer. It was like getting permission to do something I'd only imagined before. My mind zeroed in on writer and never segued. In college, I visited a writer's group and was amazed to learn there was an entire organization devoted to writing my favorite fiction: romance. I began devouring writing books and learning as much about the publishing industry as I could. At the same time, my girls were hitting their teens and paranormal stories became more than just an occasional interest. I have since published two paranormal romance novels and a short story, with several more on the way. I am now branching into paranormal Young Adult stories and an amazing project with BabelFAmily, the International Literary Project to Fight Friedreich's Ataxia.

Where Angels Crossover by Deborah Jackson May 17, 2012 $0.99 38460 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Deborah A Jackson is the author of five books, ranging from picture books to early readers. When she was ten years old, she immigrated from a small village in Devon, England to the wide skies and open countryside of South Africa. After many unsuccessful attempts to view schooling seriously and not a place for play, she eventually matriculated on her terms, and fell in love with her teenage sweetheart. Ruled by her heart, she married young and two children soon followed. The idea for her first picture book was inspired by her child and her worries about the environment. The Tortoise who cared is a tale of fight versus might and seemed to reflect the personality of the author. This was followed by four more books including two illustrated readers. Traditionally published by large publishing houses, Deborah and her family risked everything by returning to the UK and left her writing behind. From there, she created a successful business, studied for her degree and teaching qualifications. After many years, in the real world, and once her children had grown up, she returned to writing. This has been a family project, with her son creating the illustration and daughter, owner of Bad Rhino productions, creating the book trailer. Deborah currently, teaches English and has taken her studies even further, with a Masters in English. She has come full circle and returned to her first love – writing. Heaven’s Children, Earth Totem, is the first book in a series, and she is already putting the finishing touches to her second, Through the Veil. She loves eating chocolate and listening to cold play, reggae, U2 and romantic music especially from movies like practical magic when she is writing. She has a mischievous sense of humor, loves pranks, cries at sad movies, screams at scary ones and never takes no for an answer.
