The Comfort of the Shriek	by Scott Crowder April 25, 2011	Free!	3316 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I live just outside Raleigh, North Carolina. I've only been professionally published once, in last fall's edition of Flashquake online magazine, but I hope it's the start of something long term. I'm happily married, and I'm the father to two beautiful little girls, ages five and two, who will never be allowed to date boys, drive cars that are transporting boys, nor ride in cars to places where boys are present, or wear non-Amish-spinster-approved clothing in front of boys. I love horror movies, rhythmic noise, peanut butter, and the Munsters, not necessarily in that order. Please feel free to contact me if you want; I'd love to hear what you thought of the book. My e-mail address is zombieapocalypse at earthlink.net. Thanks for reading.
Sins of The Gods	by Jim Gibson May 19, 2011	You set the price!	104060 words	Sample 50%
Author bio: My whole motivation for writing is little more than a result of searching for something novel and unexpected to read. It's become rather difficult to find a good story that isn't predictable. While writing, I draw from my past experience as a former: police officer, Mensan, military man and war veteran, business man, manual laborer, restaurant manager. And current: dedicated father, habitual traveler, British humor fan, trivia junkie and truck driver. My studies in history, religion, mechanical and military engineering, politics, martial arts, biology, literature, and the culinary arts came in handy as well. Not that it matters, but my inspirations are Robert Heinlein, Clive Barker, Terry Pratchett and Christopher Moore.
Tarantella: A Love Story	by Siomonn Pulla July 16, 2011	Free!	38675 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I am a cultural anthropologist who currently lives in the beautiful region of western Quebec. I teach university courses in the fields of Indigenous issues, applied and participatory anthropology, and Canadian studies. Iâ€™m working on academic projects around Metis issues in Canada, historical anthropology and Indigenous land-use practices. My fiction writing is inspired by commercial writers like Neil Gaiman and Charles De Lint; but also writers like Isabella Allende, Paulo Coleho, and Leslie Marmon Silko. I like to bur the line between fact and fiction, weaving the real together with the unreal and drawing deeply on my anthropological expertise and knowledge of cultural tropes, symbols, and mythologies. A lot of my stories are inspired by true events and explore themes around the spirit and mysteries of love, friendships and the greater powers and forces of the seen and unseen worlds.

I hope you will enjoy it and recommend it to your friends. My third novel, Painting by Numbers, will be available on Smashwords very soon Thank you all.

Sourdough Wind Mine	by Richard Puz Dec. 01, 2011	You set the price!	2293 words	Sample 10%
Author bio: Richard Puzâ€™s books are well researched. They bring to life the stories of American settlers who lived two centuries ago. He has journeyed throughout the world and has spent months traveling across America to search out the locations for his books. His novels are currently in a series called Six Bulls. These include Avenge, Six Bulls-The Ohioans, and The Carolinian. The novels in the Six Bulls series draw from family tales about settlers who journeyed to the American frontier in the 1800s. Their stories, passed down through the generations, paint pictures of courageous and adventurous peopleâ€”a hearty lotâ€”who had perseverance, self reliance, and, despite dangers and the unknown, overcame their fears. Most were not famous or widely celebrated, yet they carved out homes, farms, and a life on the frontier, and, in the process, created a great nation. His observations follow: "American settlers are heroes in my eyes, and it is an honor to include some of their folklore in my novels. "From my research, I have a better understanding of the Native Americanâ€™s plight. Despite being fierce and resourceful, they were ultimately swept aside by the oncoming tide of settlers. There came a time for understanding and compassion by the conquering invaders. In too many instances, this did not occur, and that disgraceful stain is part of our historical legacy. "Like those ancestors, I'm on a journey, too."

Sadly, I don't play as much now, because I live in my own house and my piano is back in my family's house. Sad day. I love history, I love to learn, I speak German and Spanish decently, I would love to travel to countries like Germany, Russia, and Georgia. And Italy--I don't have Italian roots, but there's something about that place that deeply intrigues me. I am even thinking of moving over there --where? somewhere--to teach ESL since I have my certification and my Bachelor's degree now. I'm a Christian, too, though not always the best one. I believe in God and try to follow the Golden Rule, but I find I'm more human than I like to admit...

Best Books for Young Adults - The SECRET AT CHiCHEN iTZA!	by Casey Grace & Landis Grace Feb. 04, 2012	Free!	51296 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Living in an ancient Mayan world nestled in the virgin jungles of the Yucatan has given my 12 year old daughter Landis and I encounters of a lifetime. Our Mayan friends have shared with us many secrets of their culture and we have experienced many of their customs and ceremonies. There are many mysteries and legends of this ancient race, and my daughter Landis and I started this series to share some of these fascinating traditions in a fun mystery book which educates the readers not only into the everyday life of the traditional Mayans still living in pueblitos but into authentic ancient customs through flashbacks in the book. Landis and I are Canadian, so I am thrilled that my daughter is completely fluent in her second language of Spanish, so we added some easy-to-remember Spanish words to teach readers a little of the language. All of the facts throughout the book are true, but they are presented in an entertaining fictional style with a closing message of integrity and wholesomeness. We are writing our next Landis Adventure book called â€œThe Mystery at Isla Mujeresâ€, which takes place on a beautiful island nestled off the coast of Cancun, in the aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea.
