"A clown with an axe walks into a church..." by James Pratt June 16, 2011 $0.99 4963 words Sample 30%
"A clown with an axe walks into a church..." It sounds like the start of a bad joke but in a dark future overrun by unspeakable horror, an evil clown with an axe that tells him to kill things might be just what the doctor ordered.
Author bio:
James Pratt likes to create realistically flawed but basically decent characters and have them cross paths with serial killer angels, redneck vampires, slithering horrors from other dimensions, and the end of the world. He also likes to write stories that demonstrate how the ever-present darkness threatening to wash over the world like a wave of endless night can be held back with a little courage and a big shotgun (assuming one hasn't already used both barrels, of course). Some take place in the distant past, others in the far future, and still others somewhere between eight minutes ago and twelve minutes from now. Whether sci-fi, adventure, or straight-out horror, the running theme is that the universe is very, very big and we are very, very small.

Crimson Rose is an erotica writer dedicated to the principle that erotic fiction can be red-hot raunchy while also being written with intelligence, elegance and style. When asked about the subject matter of her stories she had this to say: "I sometimes deal with strange and taboo subject matter, but my stories are never dark and my characters are never victims (though some of them may pretend otherwise). My characters always enjoy and exult in their sexuality, engaging in their various unusual and illicit acts with unapologetic joy and a zest for life." Crimson Rose has been writing erotic fiction for more than two decades. Her stories were written mainly for the pleasure of herself, her husband, and a few select friends. But now they are here for the enjoyment of all.

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

Give me the moment and I'll tell you a tale. Give me a lifetime and I'll show you a saga. I’m a storyteller, a writer, a “Daddy” and a nightowl who makes good use of the calm and the quiet of 3 am, scribbling ABDL romance stories on a piece of paper when not taking late night road trips to Wal-Mart. An author of ABDL romance and erotic stories. Likes to focus in on the storyline, making it as compelling and as realistic as the characters. His stories always include a dominant male and a submissive female. I like to spend a lot of time detailing the thoughts and thought process of the characters, particularly the female. Each story in a series is written with the intent of showing a progression of the couple's relationship, making it possibly for them to discover more about each other and explore the desires of their hearts at a level which is deeper, more personal and more meaningful. ABDL will always be the base of my author's soul, bu I like to include humiliation, embarrassment, spankings, thrills and such - perhaps a little more BDSM than ABDL. Pulling from my life experiences as a "Daddy" as well as the future within my soul, there's always a story in my head and I will always write stories and every word will be a piece of my heart.

"I Will Drink Your Blood" The Vampire-Werewolf of Flat Creek Swamp by R. Harper Mason Jan. 19, 2012 $2.99 75245 words Sample 20%
Dec. 15, 1947 I know what you’re thinking, sitting there kinda smirking, like “are you kidding” ’bout this tale being a true story? “A vampire-werewolf in South Arkansas”—come on.” Yeah, I know that’s what’s going through your mind ’cause that’s what everybody in Norphlet thought while all this stuff was happening, and we were running around town trying to warn folks about the vampire-werewolves.
Author bio:
Biography of the author, R. Harper Mason Richard was born in El Dorado, but spent his early years in Norphlet, Arkansas, a little town of 650 people located in the south Arkansas oil fields. When he was eight-years-old he moved a mile out of town to a farm on the edge of Flat Creek Swamp. The stories in The Red Scarf and Lyin' Like a Dog novels are based, in part, on his adventures in and around Flat Creek Swamp. While these stories are historical fiction, they are based on incidents and situations that happened to Richard and his good friend John Clayton as they prowled the swamp. Richard was the town paper boy for several years during this time and his relationship with many of the characters mentioned in The Red Scarf and Lyin' Like a Dog are based on his actual interaction with these people. Richard graduated from Norphlet High School, enrolled in the University of Arkansas, and graduated with a bachelors and masters degree in geology. He spent six years working for Exxon; initially on the famous King Ranch in South Texas and then in Benghazi, Libya, where he worked in the desert as a well-site geologist. During his time in the desert he began to write his first novel, but before he could finish the manuscript, he was transferred back to Corpus Christi, Texas. It would be over thirty years before Richard would begin to write again. This time it was after he had quit Exxon, started his own company, and moved back from Texas to South Arkansas, and instead of a 1920 oil boom novel, it was The Red Scarf. Richard has numerous interests, and he has received many awards for his environmental work and for historic preservation. He was president of the Arkansas Wildlife Federation for three years and was named Conservationist of the Year in 1989. He has received numerous awards for historic preservation, the most noteworthy being the highest statewide award given, The Parker Westbrook Award. In August of 2008 Richard was featured in the High Profile section of the Arkansas Democrat- Gazette. Richard is 6’ 2” tall and weighs 170 pounds, an avid tennis player, collector of antique maps, nationally published author, and an honored conservationist

Author bio:
Stanfield Major was born in Normal, Illinois, but soon left normal behind. Raised in nearby Eureka, where Ronald Reagan went to college, he observed the tumult of the late 1960s and early 1970s from the somewhat detached perspective of the middle west. At the age of fourteen, stung by the same bug as both his parents, he began scribbling. He started with short unrhymed poems. And then he tried fiction, novels he didn’t finish. About a year later he began writing song lyrics. His creative life has consisted of a restless shifting from one to another of these forms of expression. Although, until recently, songwriting has been his main focus. He’s spent most of his life trying to find his place in this world. Hammering on doors that didn’t open. Wandering shabby alleyways in the twilight haze. Living the experiences that now inform his work. Since the mysteries of sexuality have always galvanized his creative imagination he began, several years ago, posting to Literotica, an online forum for writers of erotica. Over the next two years he wrote enough erotic short stories to fill a book. That was how Balls Of Cobalt Blue, and, later, Call Me Pandora, came to be. Stanfield now resides in Kingman, Arizona and is working on another book of erotic short stories, a couple of romance novels, and plans to produce several more CDs in which songs using his lyrics are showcased. The first CD, Crossroads And Highways, was released in 2008 by the band 7th And Beale. Inspiration: Many of my stories, “Win/Win Situation”, “Royally Fucked”, “Motorcycle Mama”, “Turnabout”, and “Ocean Interlude”, for instance, were written in response to a specific woman asking me to write a story based on her particular fantasies. In the same way that being touched by someone else is more exciting than touching oneself, seeing your fantasies filtered through the mind of another can add to the thrill. And for me, as a writer, the delight of challenging myself to inhabit another’s skin and see the world through her eyes is profoundly satisfying. Someone reviewing “Royally Fucked” said, “Definitely written by a woman”. That’s the highest compliment. That’s what I’m aiming for. If you have a fantasy you’d like to see filtered through my erotic mind please contact me through my blog “From My Erotic Mind” (see link on this page) and if your fantasy inspires me the world might see the result (your part will be acknowledged only if you wish it to be). Whether you have a fantasy or not I’d love to hear from you.

Crimson Rose is an erotica writer dedicated to the principle that erotic fiction can be red-hot raunchy while also being written with intelligence, elegance and style. When asked about the subject matter of her stories she had this to say: "I sometimes deal with strange and taboo subject matter, but my stories are never dark and my characters are never victims (though some of them may pretend otherwise). My characters always enjoy and exult in their sexuality, engaging in their various unusual and illicit acts with unapologetic joy and a zest for life." Crimson Rose has been writing erotic fiction for more than two decades. Her stories were written mainly for the pleasure of herself, her husband, and a few select friends. But now they are here for the enjoyment of all.
