Joseph E. Wright was born and educated in New England. He grew up addicted to the British cozies of Christie and Sayres and the American counterparts of Queen and Stout. He was a fan of the films noir of Hammett and Chandler. His first published novel, MEMORANDUM OF A MURDER (Manor Books) confirmed his determination to become a writer. A short story of his appeared in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. While trying to write, Joe earned his living as editor for a couple of monthly magazines. In one period of his life, he lived in a gloomy, rambling, nineteenth century rectory in downtown Philadelphia. The dark paneled walls, the wide staircase, the sounds in the night, the people who warndered in and out, inspired his TALES FROM THE WRECKTORY. Joe has published a trilogy of cozies recounting the amateur sleuthing of Pat Montgomary and Phillis Toner. The first book, THE BODIES OUT BACK, starts this pair off on their new career as detectives when they discover the body of Pat’s next-door neighbor. In their second, they rush off to the seashore when they get a call for help from one of Pat’s early school teachers, hoping to prevent a crime in MURDER IN MARIS COVE. When an elderly cleric tell them of the strange happenings in the middle of the night in an old rectory in downtown Philadelphia, they are faced with catching someone who commits murder in a church in AISLE OF THE DEAD. His most recent novel, GERALDINE HOUGH'S VERY FIRST MURDER, introduces a middle-aged female sleuth who readily admids she is a hopeless snoop and has finally gotten her p.i. license. Gerry is not above stretching the truth when the end she has in mind requires it.

Mankind's Worst Fear by David L Erickson Mankind's Worst Fear by David L Erickson Feb. 19, 2009 $2.86 131558 words Sample 30%
Author bio:
There are moments in one’s life one never forgets. Only fourteen when I read Ray Bradbury’s ‘Martian Chronicles’ I knew I was destined to be a writer. That weekend I hammered out the first chapter of ‘Strongpoint 208’ on my small Royal typewriter. Like most of my earlier writings, it was lost when I joined the Marines after high school. Perhaps because I took an instant liking to science fiction, it is what I write most, but I am proud of my horror stories, kick-butt tales and a spattering of poetry. I’ve written lots of social commentary, business manuals, even did a political campaign once. Mornings are best for me. It’s when my muse is fired and fresh, my mind sharp and uncluttered. All my best stories come to me in dreams rich with sound, smells and color: often exhilarating, sometimes disturbing, but almost always a place I’d rather be because I’ve been able to control my dreams since I was a young man. Anything can set me before a keyboard – news, day dreams, conversation, a poorly plotted film. I’m especially proud of the first novel I wrote as an adult, called ‘The Right-ous Shall Inherit the Earth’, in which a family man and business owner becomes a high-profile assassin for ‘The Program’, an international group that takes over the world by murdering major criminals, be they drug kingpins, politicians or civic leaders. Because it was my first major work, it still needs....work, so as time permits... My current project is a story about a boy who discovers a 1950 Buick containing four corpses after a storm washes away part of the riverbank at the town park. With all that is going on in my life lately, and with my first novel in print, it is difficult to set aside writing time, but I manage, as any determined writer would. Between my writing, maintaining and restoring this 1948 bungalow and allowing time for family needs, I do make time to read one or two novels a month (Dean Koontz and Isaac Asimov of late), read daily from several national newspapers online and research items of interest. I critique a story a week with Critters.Org as well. It is amazing the unending variety of plots writers can come up with. My most recent entertaining read was Tim Allen’s, ‘I’m Not Really Here’. Galaxy Quest’ is one of my favorite schlocky sci-fi films. Weather permitting, Kathi and I drop the top on her Mustang and pick a back road just to see where it takes us. Raised in the northern suburbs of Minneapolis, I left at 17 to see the world. As a Marine avionics tech I was stationed in California, Tennessee, Vietnam and Virginia. Kathi and I returned briefly to Minnesota before spending the next 26 years in South Florida where we built a business and were both active in the community. In 1998, we sold out and moved to southwest Missouri to spend time with my parents and siblings. After all these years, I’m still struggling to overcome the culture shock. With a view of Bull Shoals lake and living in a home formerly owned by another author who penned three novels on agriculture here, I'm right smack in the middle of this great country. The former owner, Roy Donahue is a legend around these parts. I hope to follow in his footsteps, building on this old bungalo's historical footing and maybe pass it on to another writer someday. In the meantime, I'll do my best to restore the original character of this aging abode. I know that a novel is as much about the author as the story he tells, and all I've given you is a suggestion of my past. I've got lots more stories to tell, adventures to share, some more inflated than others, and many more books to write.

(NOTE: underscore between the ‘r’ and the ‘M’) He likes getting mail and does his best to answer. Of his biography, Dr. Mabeuse says: “Everyone connects to the world in some way, and I seem to connect through sex. I’m drawn to the extreme and the extraordinary in all things, and I like to explore the farther edges of passion and desire in what I write. What interests me now is not so much the things people do, but how they feel about what they do—male and female dynamics, how we connect to ourselves and each other and to the world at large. I tend to be intense and my writing shows that, but I really value my sense of humor above all, and I expect it to sustain me should the fires of sexual passion ever burn out.”

The Paragon by LEE HARGUS HUNTER The Paragon by LEE HARGUS HUNTER Feb. 22, 2009 $3.00 61903 words Sample 50%
Author bio:
ABOUT LEE HARGUS HUNTER Lee’s writing reflects the many influences in her life. Her novel, “Where the Nightbird Sings”, is a glimpse of western culture and history. She spent her early years on a west Texas ranch absorbing the wild tales her great uncle told around a campfire in the evenings. Every detail found a niche in her memory. Her grandfather was a cousin of the famous “Old Doc Hargus” of nearby Dimmit County and the inspiration of many of these tales. Her family’s later move to the big city of Dallas was a cultural and physical shock. It was during the Great Depression and her parents had no idea how bad things really were as they had lived in isolation on the remote ranch. Lee is currently writing an anthology inspired by these times. Watch for “They Call It Prairie Creek.” After public schools, Lee attended the University of Texas and Southern Methodist University. When many years as a Civil Service employee became too boring to bear, Lee switched to personnel work and eventually owned her own agency. Writing was only a hobby until early retirement gave her time to broaden her writing interests. “Welby the Worm Who Lost His Wiggle” and the “Welby the Worm” workbook introduced children to her work. The enthusiastic young fans of Welby the Worm caught the ear of local home school organizations and Lee became an instructor at their Home School Enrichment Centers. A love of mystery stories inspired Lee to write “The Paragon.” This story of evil deceit is not for the faint-hearted. During this period Lee became a freelance essayist. She has been published in many on-line and print periodicals. This resulted in her becoming a motivational speaker. Lee’s teaching of middle school students revealed the need for a different textbook for young writers. This gave birth to her writer’s textbook, “Writing with All Your Senses”.

Author bio:
Ever since she was young, Kiki Howell loved to listen to a well-woven tale with real characters, inspired plots, and delightful resolutions. Kiki could spend hours lost in a book, and soon she knew that creating lives, loves, and losses with just words had to be the greatest thing that she could do. To that end, she pursued her study of literature and writing, earning a bachelor’s degree in English. She then followed in a Master’s program in Creative Writing. “After a long break having my boys, I finally just had to write again. And, as soon as I gave the stories the space, they entered it. It’s both awesome and humbling to find the words in my mind become characters on a page and create their lives.” Kiki resides in the Midwest with her incredibly handsome and talented, singer/songwriter husband and two children. When she is not writing, she is spending time with her family, reading, baking or knitting.
