Though with two post-graduate degrees (in film study and information studies) he rejected Academia to pursue a fringe existence within Australia's burgeoning pornography industry.

The content, being an exploration of different genres, is often disturbing. |

Joe's Black T-Shirt | by Joe Schwartz Nov. 18, 2011 | $0.99 | 61917 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: A St. Louis native, I write exclusively about the Gateway City. I prefer the style of fiction deemed transgressive fiction. That is my stories protagonists generally find a solution to their problems through either illicit or illegal means. I personally prefer stories told through a criminal's point-of-view. It is never the crime that fascinates me so much as the motivation to do it and the terrible, almost predictable outcomes to such actions. Just as I have an expectation of writing to be read I believe that it is as important, if not more so, that you as a reader should have the expectation of being entertained as you read. Anything less is such a disappointment. Life is short. Stories are forever. Joe |

Can Penguin Soup Help Save the World? | by Frankie Lassut Nov. 16, 2011 | $1.49 | 27408 words | Sample 25% |
| Author bio: I don't think saying 'I'm a writer' is enough to describe what I actually do. I like to entertain, and I use writing as a medium to do that. That then makes me a (and yeah, I obviously use a keyboard),... a... what's a good word? How about, a Pen-tertainer? I'm a Pentertainer ... I live in Coventry, England, but am originally from the North West of the country. I've been in Coventry for 21 years, and the hardest part was learning how to use a knife and fork and other domestic things after spending so much time up there in the frozen wastelands tearing chunks of meat off the kill after roasting it on a fire. Mind you, I'm not entirely re trained to life in the City, as quite a few people I've met down here do still talk in grunts; I'm one of the few who can understand them, and so, I work part time in the DSS claims office. (not true, but wouldn't that be so cool if it was). I myself got told off years ago by a stern faced lady in the claims office. I was on the Jobseekers/New Start course (Course? LOL), and I told my claims officer that I enjoyed going down there ... "Mr Lassut! You aren't supposed to enjoy it!" ... Her T shirt should have given it away before I opened my mouth. It read: 'I hate what I'm told to hate ... that means YOU' Last time I saw her she was in the fancy dress shop near Argos, buying a Gadaffi costume with mask. I thought she was going to a fancy dress do, but now look! ... I think she was investigating international claimant's Nat Insurance numbers, but got a little carried away. Bless her cotton socks. |

Vulgarity For The Masses | by J.S. Lawhead Sep. 28, 2011 | $3.99 | 75665 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: J.S. Lawhead is a child of the mystic Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee; where magick and logick often collide behind shadows left by the Einherjar, ghosts rise above the waters and mists to further dull the grey air, and the fabric that separates life and death between dreams is camouflaged as the seasonal mountain canopy of nature.

Born in 1984 and completely ignorant of his blood type. Is currently confident the reader has all the information he or she needs to know on the subject of J.S. Lawhead. |

On Love and Other Lies | by Matthew Morgan Aug. 22, 2011 | Free! | 12880 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Matthew Morgan is an emerging voice in literature. He has written many short stories which have been published in literary journals and magazines all over the world- usually in online form despite a strong bigotry toward electronic reading. 'On Love and Other Lies' is the first collection of some of these stories. A second, with the working title 'We Were Children', is due out next year. Despite his short stories recieving most attention, he is a committed novelist. His first novel, 'The Sound of Startled Leaves', grew out of an early short story called 'Discovery'. It compassionately- yet with blunt honesty- examines a man who discovers his wife's infidelity and a possibly cancerous lump on his testicle on the same day. Matthew hopes to have it published and next to his anthologies soon. Join Matthew on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/MatthewMorganWriter and on Google + at http://goplus.us/MatthewMorganWriter |
