| Author bio: I like writing books about life. No matter the genre - straight fiction, paranormal, thriller, children's fiction, science fiction, or memoirs, I like creating characters with deep, rich lives. I'm originally from California, where I ran a flower shop and then later, a preschool with my wife, Cindy, before taking a chance in 2008 to pursue my dream of writing for a living. I gave up security for the chance to share my stories. I launched Collective Inkwell with my writing partner, David Wright (www.davidwwright.com). We had previously ghostwritten books for clients and copy for businesses. Now, we're excited to focus on our own books. I live in Ohio with my wife and two children. |

The Road Home | by Matthew Stephens Jan. 20, 2012 | Free! | 1599 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I'm an avid reader and love to write. I am married with two boys and reside in Minnesota. Some of my favorite authors are Stephen King,Dean Koontz, James Patterson, Peter Straub, Suzanne Collins, J.K. Rowling, Thomas Harris, Dan Brown, Cormac McCarthy, and many many more. I'm willing to read any author who has a great idea and is able to express his ideas in a way I can relate(at least with the characters) and understand clearly. I revise constanly and still don't end up satified, but i guess that is something that will come in time, hopefully. I hope you enjoy my stories as much as I enjoy writing them. I am currently working on a novel, but I will try to upload new short stories from time to time, mostly free to read. I believe if I'm going to charge anything it should be at least 4,000 words or more. A lot of the stories I post are old and had been written years ago, but I think they still have good potential (After endless revising and I know they're still not perfect). Thanks for your time.

| Author bio: I have one grandfather who was a builder. My other grandfather was a stonemason and my father was a traditional blacksmith. Both my grandmothers had cooked for a living, one in a hotel and the other for well-to-do people. A career in construction or perhaps engineering or catering would have been obvious choices. Instead, I spent 20 years in business and in mid life retrained myself. I chose to work with my hands as my father and grandparents had. I become a renowned woodcraftsman and founded with my wife an art and craft gallery in a Tasmanian tourist town. After 20 years there, we followed our children to mainland Australia to retire on Victoria’s Bellarine Peninsula. I took up writing seriously in 2003. Working with their hands, creating and shaping materials has occupied my forebear. From stone, to iron, to wood. Now I spend my time putting pen to paper. The medium is getting softer. |

Before the Storm | by Alan Edwards April 13, 2011 | Free! | 2970 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Alan Edwards majored in English at the University of Florida for approximately four weeks, until the endless daily grind of non-stop investigations into whether every single mention of a long straight object was nothing more than a phallic symbol made him quickly realize that he would never make it through to actually get a less-than-useful English degree. He determinedly became a drunkard and dropout afterwards. Later, he learned the fine art of bookkeeping, decided he enjoyed it, and eventually went back to school, this time for an Accounting degree, which he was able to complete while working full-time and attending night classes for the simple reason that there was no discussion of phallic symbols. Becoming a stalwart and valiant accountant, he set the world afire with the speed of his T-accounts, the precision of his reconciliations, and uncanny way of balancing debits and credits. By night, he dazzled and amazed all and sundry by reading, playing computer and console games as well as tabletop role-playing games, watching TV, and playing with his dogs. Nearly all of his time is spent with his lovely wife and companion Lisa, whose patience and love quite seriously carries him through the tribulations of life. |

The Watchman | by GlennAndSasha Gabriel Nov. 15, 2011 | Free! | 716 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Special Note: Hello everyone, and thank you for visiting our Authors Page. We are delighted to announce that we have just published our first novel, Amanda Ackers and The Deep Forest Elves. We are still in shock that so many people had liked our short stories. From November 14th of 2011, to January 1st of 2012, our little short stories have been downloaded over 2,200 times! We are very thankful to you all, for supporting our work, which we do for the enjoyment of it. Our thanks also, to the many of you who have emailed us, with kind comments on our stories, and those who had requested receiving a prerelease version of our novel. We had never thought of doing that, but what a great idea. It gave many a chance to read the novel before we actually published it. Thanks to all of you! We are most humbled by the response we have received, and thank you from the top, middle and bottom of our hearts! Book Two of the Amanda Ackers series, Amanda Ackers and The Realm Of The Witches, will be out near the end of the year. Should any of you like a prerelease version, please let us know. As you know, we do require you to sign a non-disclosure agreement and fax it back to us… it’s just good business practice. Please let us hear from you when you get the chance. Email us at: GlennAndSasha@gmail.com -------------------------------------------- Hello and thank you for visiting our Smashwords.com page. My name is Sasha Gabriel, and I would like to take a few moments to say a little about Glenn and myself. They say that creativity belongs to the young. Well, not always. Young at heart, I’ll buy, but nothing else. Writing is relatively new for me. I’ve been an avid reader for most of my 60+ years. But writing seemed daunting. How do you write an idea to get over to other people without boring them to death? How do you write conversations that sound like the people who are speaking them? Once I studied the “how to’s†a bit, and with the encouragement from Glenn, my wonderful husband and best friend, I started writing. And I love it. So does Glenn. Writing has opened a door for me that nothing else has – my imagination has soared and I’m absolutely thrilled and thankful, from the bottom of my heart, that others like my writing, as well. Both Glenn and I have been submitting very, very short stories (no more than 600 word stories) because these are also being entered into a writing contest with that directive. At the same time, both Glenn and I are writing novels (Glenn’s is awesome!!!! Think the depth of Lord of the Rings with the immediacy of Harry Potter and you’ve got it!). But I want to share something with you all… Glenn has battled Dyslexia, Dyscalculia and Dysgraphia almost his entire life. That’s a mouthful, for sure, but try living with them on a daily basis! Even so, Glenn has worked to overcome the more serious side effects and his talent in writing, painting, and all over creativity is nothing short of staggering. Honestly… I’m running to keep up with him but I’m mostly just out of breath! So… the bottom line is… we’re all just human with all our challenges and it’s those challenges that make what we create that much better. Please… If you like to read… then write. If you like to paint… then paint. Pick up that paintbrush and start. For writing, get to your keyboard and begin. We think you’ll surprise yourself at your talents. And, again… Thank You all for your kind and generous words of appreciation for our stories! It means the world to us! ----------------------------- Glenn here. Just wanted to add that we never thought anyone would even read our work, let alone have downloaded our little stories hundreds of times in less than a month. Because of the kind words from you all, I will continue to write. I have, as Sasha had mentioned, been writing a novel which I was writing for fun, for our grandson Logan. I was not going to publish it, just print it out to give to him. Now… once the first book of that series is finished, I’ll publish it here for FREE. My thanks to all of you. Feel free to contact Sasha and I at the following email address. We would love to hear from you: GlennAndSasha@gmail.com |
