Claude & Sophia by Shane Greenhough Claude & Sophia by Shane Greenhough Feb. 07, 2012 Free! 2000 words Read a sample
Author bio:
I'm a South African writer of awesome proportions! My work is simple and fairly direct, if somewhat heavy-handed, with each story carrying an observational message, or moral of sorts. Mostly working in the short story, or flash fiction style I've several pieces in the works that expand upon that theme by bonding a number of shorts into a larger work that weaves a greater tale from the threads of shorter ones. Delving into my professional background seems to me to be uninteresting, so I'm not going to bore you with those details here.

Dual Identity by Esther Minskoff Dual Identity by Esther Minskoff Feb. 04, 2012 Free! 118700 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
My life is split. The first part (the majority) was spent as a Professor of Special Education at James Madison University where I trained teachers to work with students with disabilities. I wrote two professional books. I authored "Teaching Reading to Struggling Learners," and co-authored "Academic Success Strategies for Adolescents with Learning Disabilities and ADHD" which has been translated into French and Korean. Upon retirement, I began writing novels which is more taxing intellectually than writing textbooks, and much more fun. There's just no way to include sex scenes in a book on teaching reading! However, the thought of my children reading such scenes is a bit worrisome. I have completed two novels, the first "Dirty Genes" has just been published by the miraculous technology afforded by Smashwords.

Reviews of BENJAMIN GRABBED HIS GLICKEN AND RAN: from Library Journal: "One hopes BENJAMIN won't be dismissed as just another offbeat experimental novel. It is an exciting book!" from Publishers Weekly: "...Benjamin's personal story is wild, with an extraordinary made-up language and a pun-on-pun series of sentences... The novel builds to a strong, dramatic climax and the effect is chilling." from The Christian Science Monitor: "Like a child of Zeus sprung full grown from the head of their creator ... this novel has not received the attention it deserves... The novel is operating simultaneously on three planes and finally on a fourth. Benjamin as a character is oddly captivating ... virtuosic ... exacting descriptions of Benjamin's room, physical sensations, and emotions are like a zoom lens bringing one in intensely close to him. Benjamin says of his Mysteries: 'Words are only a small portion of my life... They are weak technicalities which fail... Words are only words. And besides, I lie a lot.'

Author bio:
A wind blown ripple in a slightly acidic pool of water on the supercontinent of Paranachia in the early Devonerovian era resulted in the molecular fusion of several prebiotic elements into the first chain of self replicating rhino nucleic acid, the precursor of all subsequent self replicating matter on the planet earth. This led to the development of the first unicellular lifeforms which ------- um, this bio, now that I think of it, might be bit too detailed. I'll get back to ya. Till then – the stories - love and romance in unusual or forbidden circumstance, perhaps at times a study of or search for limits (though I generally try to leave the conclusions to you). Some eroticism though more of an imaginative or speculative sort rather than blatantly descriptive eroticism with no other point to it.

DANNY 1.0 - Hope House - Part 3 by Chancery Stone DANNY 1.0 - Hope House - Part 3 by Chancery Stone Jan. 29, 2012 $3.99 111230 words Sample 5%
Author bio:
Chancery Stone likes wading about in darkness. She always has. Equally well, she loves the magical powers of redemption, particularly self-redemption. She has a particular fondness for heroes (of either sex) who don’t let anyone fuck with them. This does not involve kick-boxing, vampirism, government agencies or a sociopathic knowledge of firearms. Instead this involves going their own way, in their own time, to their own tune and realising that if God is watching it’s only to see if you’re one of the smart ones. Chancery Stone was born half a lifetime ago in a quaint Scottish fishing hamlet known as East Kilbride, where she would run wild and untrammelled about the hills, picking heather and singing in the Gaelic. In her spare time, between making moss dyes and raising nursling quails, she ran a child sex club. She was a child herself at this time, of course, and therefore has managed to evade the long arm of the law. At least thus far. The Dirty Club had a simple remit: sex, sex and more sex. Limited as it was by her age and ignorance, this chiefly involved urolagnia, exhibitionism, voyeurism, humiliation, bondage, homosexuality, frottage, fingering, nudism, paedophilia, ritualistic power games, domination, bullying, more humiliation and more urolagnia. In fact, altogether too much urolagnia. She was outed several times – by children to other children, and by adults who really didn’t like that sort of thing. Driven underground at the age of twelve she became a sad academic recluse and took up reading savage and horrific literature and absolutely anything with sex in it. Then there was wider reading. And yet more reading. And sick three-novels-a-day-habit style reading. And a lot of theatre. And then back to sex again – sex and more sex – extended by now to contain the more missionary and conventional forms thereof. Eventually she got sick of reading (but, somehow, never of sex) and decided to write instead, and then all of this life-strangely-lived started to spiral out of her, backwards, onto paper. We expect that once the DANNY Quadrilogy™ is finally done she will turn out some very interesting books in the vein of “Moss Dyeing for Beginners“ and “Quail Baby, Fly Away Home.” And after that there will be death.

Amour desamour by abeior djerat Amour desamour by abeior djerat Jan. 21, 2012 Free! 173984 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Writer from vocation. Published in French-novels, short-stories and poetry. Abeior Djerat is a pen name. I use it because it enables me to talk freely about subjects which I consider important. I pay big attention to 'impulsive 'writing. Like surrealists poets use to say, to write about what your subconscious tells you to. Be yourself. Without the make-up of conventions. This is what I aim through all my books written under the signature Abeior Djerat: a miror of the soul's and body's feelings and moods in very complex situations of life. Ecrivaine de vocation. Publiée en français avec romans, nouvelles, poèmes. Abeior Djerat est un pseudonyme. Cela favorise une écriture franche, impulsive, que j'affectionne beaucoup, parce que ça me permet de parler en toute franchise des sujets que je considère très importants. Je donne une grande importance à l'écriture impulsive. Comme les poètes surréalistes disaient, écrire ce que ton sousconscient te dit. Soi toi-même. Sans le maquillage des conventions. Le but de mes écritures est ceci: présenter un miroir des sentiments et des états d'âme de l'esprit et du corps dans des situations très complexes de vie.

Old George by Tom Morris Old George by Tom Morris Jan. 20, 2012 $0.99 2918 words Sample 25%
Author bio:
Started reading SF and Fantasy in the 1950's (yes I am that old), Galaxy and Astounding magazines mainly. Have been a fan ever since. Horror as well - especially Lovecraft and Derleth. All time favourite author is the great Jack Vance, but recently have found Neal Asher - fantastic! Have fooled around with writing short stories for a long time, but couldn't be bothered to submit them. Found Smashwords and decided to take the plunge. Will be adding more soon. I play GuildWars a lot - hence the picture - that's my character, a necromancer of course!

Author bio:
Ich bin Jahrgang 1972 und lebe mit meiner Familie in einer Kleinstadt in Nordbaden. Mit dem Schreiben habe ich bereits in der Grundschule begonnen. Ich schreibe hauptsächlich Krimis und Horrorgeschichten, weil ich diese Genres auch als Leser am liebsten mag. Wichtig sind mir in all meinen Texten die Figurenentwicklung und die psychologischen Hintergründe. Außerdem versuche ich meist, meinen Geschichten irgendeinen ungewöhnlichen Aspekt zu verleihen.
