Heart Of A Soldier by Josh Isaacs Heart Of A Soldier by Josh Isaacs Jan. 06, 2012 Free! 4931 words Read a sample
Author bio:
I'm a 21 year old who wants to change the world. Due to the unlikelihood of that happening, I'll settle for changing you if you'll let me. I've had no formal creative writing training nor have I gone to college, though that is in the works. I've not even read any classical literature; what I write is purely me and my own, as repulsive and coarse as that may be. I've written about a half-dozen short stories, most of a novel, and over a hundred complete song lyrics(some use poetic devices, most don't, aside from rhyming). Not looking to make money from my stories--at least not until I've taken classes for writing. I'm also a guitarist, a wannabe singer and a terrible pianist. In a world of synth-driven, auto-tuned chart toppers, the kind of musician that I hope to be is quickly becoming obsolete. May each universe you create be as filled with imagination and wonder as this one. Please alert me to any ways you feel I can improve my style of writing. Rates, comments and criticism are not only welcome, but much appreciated.

My Name is Legion (The David Morrell Short Fiction Collection #2) by David Morrell My Name is Legion (The David Morrell Short Fiction Collection #2) by David Morrell Dec. 12, 2011 $0.99 9916 words Sample 2%
Author bio:
DAVID MORRELL David Morrell is the award-winning author of First Blood, the novel in which Rambo was created. He was born in 1943 in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. In 1960, at the age of seventeen, he became a fan of the classic television series, Route 66, about two young men in a Corvette convertible traveling the United States in search of America and themselves. The scripts by Stirling Silliphant so impressed Morrell that he decided to become a writer. In 1966, the work of another writer (Hemingway scholar Philip Young) prompted Morrell to move to the United States, where he studied with Young at the Pennsylvania State University and received his M.A. and Ph. D. in American literature. There, he also met the esteemed science-fiction author William Tenn (real name Philip Klass), who taught Morrell the basics of fiction writing. The result was First Blood, a ground-breaking novel about a returned Vietnam veteran suffering from post-trauma stress disorder who comes into conflict with a small-town police chief and fights his own version of the Vietnam War. That “father” of modern action novels was published in 1972 while Morrell was a professor in the English department at the University of Iowa. He taught there from 1970 to 1986, simultaneously writing other novels, many of them international bestsellers, including the classic spy trilogy, The Brotherhood of the Rose (the basis for a top-rated NBC miniseries that premiered after a Super Bowl), The Fraternity of the Stone, and The League of Night and Fog. Eventually wearying of two professions, Morrell gave up his academic tenure in order to write full time. Shortly afterward, his fifteen-year-old son Matthew was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer and died in 1987, a loss that haunts not only Morrell’s life but his work, as in his memoir about Matthew, Fireflies, and his novel Desperate Measures, whose main character lost a son. “The mild-mannered professor with the bloody-minded visions,” as one reviewer called him, Morrell is the author of thirty-three books, including such high-action thrillers as The Naked Edge, Creepers, and The Spy Who Came for Christmas (set in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he lives). Always interested in different ways to tell a story, he wrote the six-part comic-book series, Captain America: The Chosen. His writing book, The Successful Novelist, analyzes what he has learned during his four decades as an author. Morrell is a co-founder of the International Thriller Writers organization. Noted for his research, he is a graduate of the National Outdoor Leadership School for wilderness survival as well as the G. Gordon Liddy Academy of Corporate Security. He is also an honorary lifetime member of the Special Operations Association and the Association of Intelligence Officers. He has been trained in firearms, hostage negotiation, assuming identities, executive protection, and car fighting, among numerous other action skills that he describes in his novels. To research the aerial sequences in The Shimmer, he became a private pilot. Morrell is an Edgar and Anthony nominee as well as a three-time recipient of the distinguished Stoker Award from the Horror Writers Association. The International Thriller Writers organization gave him its prestigious ThrillerMaster Award. With eighteen million copies in print, his work has been translated into twenty-six languages.

Living with the Vietnamese and Montagnard soldiers he learned of their tenacity as fighters and love for their freedom and country. Soon after leaving the Army, he met the girl of his dreams. They married and are living happily ever after. Their three married daughters have blessed them with seven grandchildren. R. J. has worked over thirty years as a mechanical engineer in the mining industry, living in five states. He knows how it feels to be fired, as well as being successful. His philosophy is to be true to oneself and life will offer much in the way of excitement and adventure. His writing has been tempered by the hard knocks of life. He believes in realism, his Christian faith, love for his fellow man, honor, and writing that grabs you by the lapels and takes you to places you haven't been.

Author bio:
Craig Douglas was born in Ely on a rainy, May morning in 1972, after a traumatic bus ride to the hospital. Since his conception he’s been what has been termed as a Pad’s Brat and travelled to Germany a couple of times to savour the taste of German Bier. He began writing at 14 when he wrote 2 page periodicals on the intrepid adventures of Conan the Stamp Collector. Somewhat disillusioned with village life he joined the British Army in 1990 and began a tumultuous, rather haphazard journey through Army life. Accruing memories and experiences along the way have helped him form the basis of many a short story. He has served in Northern Ireland, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, Iraq, Cyprus and Afghanistan. He currently lives in Rugby with his wife and two children.
