Secret Lovers (# 2) | by Rochelle Ragnarok Jan. 10, 2012 | Free! | 81 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I was born in Michigan in 1980 where I've lived a normal life, except for one thing. I love to write! I've always had an over active imagination and typically put a story to almost anything. I began when I was 12 years old writing little high school drama stories that became lost somewhere as the years progressed. In my late teens I wrote notebooks of poetry, three screenplays (Two of them Horror), and several short stories. Right now most of that stuff is buried in my closet, sadly never to see the light of day but I can't bear to throw it away! I've always had a knack for writing stories that were a little out there and when I discovered yaoi it was just one more thing that was shuffled into the mix. After years of debating, I've decided to throw myself into the world of writing and see what happens. I don't expect anything but to have my stories read and I can't wait to see what will happen next! |

My Buggy Battle: This Ends Here! | by Eric Watterson Oct. 21, 2011 | $0.99 | 2935 words | Sample 10% |
| Author bio: Eric M. Watterson was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. Even with his parents’ direction, he began to notice how little information was available to help him avoid some of the common mistakes of growing up. He would often spend time alone thinking about “why†he made certain mistakes and “how†to avoid making them again. After finishing High School in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, college in Bridgeport Connecticut and film school in Los Angeles California, he began offer advice and information to anyone who would listen. The oldest of three kids, he learned early in life to think of others first, beginning with his younger brother and sister. From there the desire developed more and more to help others whenever he could. After finding a strong sense of satisfaction from helping those who would listen inside his personal circle with their concerns, he wanted to help others outside his personal circle with their concerns as well. Oftentimes close friends and coworkers needed help with personal issues and would confide in Eric. He found a great sense of satisfaction when they would follow his advice and see positive results. This inspired him to write, “The Power of Touch Workbook†which was intended for his close male friends who just didn’t seem to know how to relate to their wives and girlfriends. As time went on, he began to want to help more and more people. From there ConsiderThis.tv was born with the focus of offering ideas which are intended to help. As Eric continues to move forward, he hopes that he can continue to impact one person at a time with information that will help them enjoy life and relate more effectively with the people that are important. |
