Chaotic Control by Sumayyah Talibah Chaotic Control by Sumayyah Talibah Feb. 06, 2012 $3.99 6416 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Sumayyah Talibah always knew she wanted to be a writer. At an early age, she began to entertain her family and friends with fantastic tales and songs. As a teenager, while being educated in the Detroit Public School system, Sumayyah decided to take her writing seriously. Poems and critical essays were her main focus at that time, although she did attempt her first novel during that period. Recently, the learning and reading (and reading and learning) has started to pay off. With several short stories, poems appearing in Liberated Muse Volume 1: How I Freed My Soul, Liberated Muse Volume 2: Betrayal Wears a Pretty Face, the upcoming Dear Sister Anthology, 2 self-published zines, and a soon-to-be published novel under her belt, Sumayyah Talibah is finally making strides toward world domination. She currently lives in Michigan with her husband, the hip hop artist, producer, and renaissance man, Tasherre Risay, their children, a cat, a well-used library card and overflowing bookshelves.

Poetic Ramblings by Stacy Stutz Poetic Ramblings by Stacy Stutz Feb. 05, 2012 Free! 4213 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Hi there! I never can seem to write a formal personal bio that is to my liking; it simply isn’t in my nature to be staid and proper and furthermore, referring to myself as “she” drives me a bit nuts. I’ve read that you should put your name in your bio as often as possible to drive traffic your way, I’m not interested in a virtual freeway, I much prefer the slower pace of winding roads with glorious vista’s unfolding over the rise. At heart, I am a poet; I would have my readers be those that also enjoy the journey, that take joy in life’s small moments of discovery. I am content that those who find me are those who pulled off life’s busy freeway even for a moment or two. I’m a mom, a wife, an avid reader, a writer and a poet – longest being the poet or perhaps the avid reader. My first (and so far only) contribution here at Smashwords is more of a biography that I could every write here. Lyrical Ramblings is the compilation of decades of poetic musings – they are as mercurial as a woman’s moods; they are the reflection of who I was, who I am and who I strive to be. Thank you to those of you who have downloaded my work and even more to those of you who have taken the time to leave a review! Currently, I’m working on a compilation of quirky short stories and hope to have them available in early Spring of 2012. Also, you should check out Mike Stutz's writings. No doubt I am biased, but he is a fantastic writer. ~Stacy
