Sunday Morning Giraffe by J. Daniel Sawyer Feb. 06, 2012 $0.99 5393 words Sample 30%
Author bio:
J. Daniel Sawyer is a hat-wearing, obsessive-compulsive autodidact attempting to write his way out of the loony bin. A self-aggrandizing science fiction and fantasy author who publishes lurid stories and, worse, the occasional popular philosophy article, he is also a very minor authority on Open Source media production (a topic on which he is, unfortunately, published regularly in LinuxJournal). In addition to his wanton abuse of the printed word, he unscrupulously uses his decade-long experience as an audio and video producer with his painfully florid and gritty writing style to create deeply immersive audio universes. This habit, which he indulges in public, has garnered him seven Parsec nominations and helped him make his first professional fiction and philosophy sales (a trend which, for the good of the world at large, we can only hope abates soon). Meanwhile, his growing, rabid fan-base is currently plotting to imprison him and force him to produce endless new literary abominations for their amusement. We can only hope they succeed. Should you be so inclined, you can communicate with this shady character, as well as find podcasts, articles, and other literary abominations at http://www.jdsawyer.net

Insatiable Angels by Frank Zenau Feb. 05, 2012 $0.99 16510 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Currently I’m writing erotic novels for entertainment. While I’m no literary writer I can tell a good story and having been a public speaker on the subject of war and game design has polished that craft. My stories when it comes to sex and variations they may be crude but having knowledge of these activities that I write about I can turn that knowledge into a story. There are many erotic writers out there mostly women (bless them each and everyone) but most of the women I have met and put to bed, don’t speak like some of these writers do and I say get it on and let’s not beat around the bush. You are here for one thing entertainment and if you like to read fifteen pages on what goes through a virgins mind just to kiss a creep, fine, if you want to read a couple of paragraphs of how they get it on, well then you might find my stories right up your alley. Give me fifteen pages and that virgin will take on a football team. Judging from sales my Oukoumene series is doing real well. Its about Walter who meets new friend and he falls in love with Joan, who lost her husband, Joan is hot, but she’s a real slut and she can suck the chrome of a bumper. I don’t know about you, but that’s a kind of woman I like. Smart but not afraid of their sexuality and not afraid to engage in strange sex. My opinion is, try it, you may like it. Thanks and special thanks to all the people that buy my books. Regards, Frank Thanks Frank Xeno Zenau fzenau@oukoumene.com

The Butcher by Drac Von Stoller Feb. 05, 2012 $0.99 2547 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Drac Von Stoller's imagination and fascination for the Horror genre began when he was a little boy watching his favorite actors such as Vincent Price, Peter Cushing, Christopher Lee and Bela Lugosi on his little black and white television alone in his dark room. Drac would watch these horror movies for hours and build model kits of his favorite characters like Dracula, the Wolfman, Frankenstein and even the Munster's car from his favorite television series. Then as time went on and nothing was left to the imagination in the new horror movies, Drac still loved watching the old movies he so loved as a little boy. Then as Drac became an adult he decided one day that he would write a short story in the horror genre and let some of his friends read it and see what they thought. Drac's first short story was titled "Death in the Wilderness," which would be considered flash fiction but this would be Drac's test to see if he was destined to be an author. Sure enough when people read "Death in the Wilderness" they loved it but couldn't understand why Drac didn't keep on with the story but Drac knew all along that if what they read was so good then Drac has succeeded. This gave Drac the confidence he needed to keep on writing more and more short stories. The rest is history Drac has now written 31 short stories in the course of a 2 year span. Drac doesn't want to write a story unless it moves him in a way that he would want to read his own work and say any horror or ghost fan would not be disappointed.

A Country Boy's Lyrics by J. Lee McPherson Feb. 05, 2012 $2.99 13700 words Sample 5%
Author bio:
Hi folks. My name is J. Lee McPherson and I live in the southern part of Missouri. My hobby has been mostly singing and playing my guitar at local jam sessions as well as writing songs until encouraging words from my family uncovered in their eyes another talent of mine I didn't know I possessed. I've always liked putting words to music and my family saw something in the way I wrote so encouraged me to try my luck at writing books. Now when I'm not jamming with my friends I'm busy writing fiction novels. In my later years of life I decided to take my family's advice and to try my luck at writing. So in a short span of time I came up with 'The Shadow Dog of Jeremiah', a Christmas story called 'Bobba Long the Bowlegged Snowman', 'Stars of Ivondale' and another Christmas story called 'The Magic Snowball'. Later I wrote a science fiction novel called 'The Storm Shelter', another fiction novel called 'The Legend of Zinnia' and then 'Dream Tracker (The Beginning)'. Now I figure I've finally found my niche in life and I plan on writing as long as I can take the pictures from my mind and with a little imagination put them to words. All my books have been published to Smashwords and some can also be purchased in print. To see all the books that I've completed and that has been published go to my website at: htttp://www.jleemcpherson.com I will hopefully have more books in the near future. J. Lee McPherson
