David AND Goliath by Rex Bromfield David AND Goliath by Rex Bromfield March 01, 2011 Free! 3090 words Read a sample
Author bio:
I write serious comedy about things that aren't normally considered to be funny. Before I started writing short stories and novels, I worked in the film industry as a writer/director. My very first feature film, a dark comedy called LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, was Dan Aykroyd's first film. It was invited to FILMEX in Los Angeles in 1977 by The American Film Institute and released in the U.S. by Atlantic Releasing and Paramount Home Video. I directed some other movies, too, including MELANIE starring Glynnis O'Connor, Don Johnson and Paul Sorvino, and CAFE ROMEO starring Jonathan Crombie and Catherine Mary Stewart. I also wrote and directed a black comedy called HOME IS WHERE THE HART IS starring Leslie Nielsen, Martin Mull and Valri Bromfield (sister). In the 90s I ran a software company. We won the Newmedia Invision Award, Newsweek’s Editor’s Choice Award and Parenting Magazine’s Magic Software Award for our musical painting app for preschoolers called "Paint ‘N’ Play". I directed many episodes of television for children. Now I tell seriously strange and funny stories for adults because I think we need them. During my years in the movie business I learned that you cannot put out good ideas, using millions of dollars of someone else's money without protracted, and largely absurd, struggles. I think it was Stanley Kubrick who once said "Making movies is like trying to produce fine music in a furniture factory." I finally walked away from that life of glitter and glamour: getting up at 3:00 AM to shoot my own screenplay in some filthy freezing warehouse under the absentee supervision of a self-medicating executive producer. I elected, instead, to lock myself up to rearrange electrons in such a way that my ideas could go out into the universe where they may be of some more immediate use to real people. Here's my official quote: "I don't think we're going to solve some of the problems of society until we can laugh and are no longer frightened by them." Here's another one: "Hate is fear. Fear is ignorance. Stupidity is insisting on one's own ignorance."

I was born (1944) in Tanganyika arriving in the UK in 1963 to attend the Cambridgeshire College of Arts and Technology. Finding the fenland winter too cold to bear, I spent much of my first year identifying the college with the best heating system and found it at Keele University where the Nissen hut accommodation was served by the largest radiators in the land. Keele then allowed its undergraduates a Foundation year during which I discovered History, the love of my life after Merrilyn, whom I met at Keele. We married in 1969 and were blessed in 1972 with a daughter, Sophie. The family home of forty years and more is in Staffordshire where, at various colleges, I have taught African Politics and Government, International (European and Non-European) Political History and modern Polish, British and German Diplomatic History. --------------------------- The books below are part of a trilogy in honour of Thioneesos (Dionysus) whose feast days in ancient Greece required the staging of two dramatics and a satiric. In my offering these are presented as The Kidron Bible, God of Hunger and Mambo Leo. Together, they constitute The Wanainchi Trilogy. John Coutouvidis June 2011

El Reflejo del Hombre by Emanuel Villanueva El Reflejo del Hombre by Emanuel Villanueva Oct. 28, 2010 Free! 2160 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Nací en el pueblo de Rio piedras para eso del 1977. Desde muy pequeño desarrollé un gusto por la literatura fantástica o de ficción, dado que mi madre solía contarme cuentos infantiles a la hora de dormir. Creo que eso fue solo la chispa que luego comenzaría con un inquietante deseo muy difícil de apagar. Para el 1994 cuando cursaba el grado once en la escuela superior Adolfina Irizarry de Puig, comencé con mi primer escrito, una novela que aunque fue la primera sigue irónicamente inedita aun. En el transcurso de mi vida he tenido el placer de conocer a un sin numero de personas, en los medios de comunicación y área laboral que de forma u otra han tenido que ver o influenciado con los distintos aspectos de mi vida, mayormente en la escritura que de forma alguna es la que sobresale de los demás aspectos creativos en mi. Después de graduarme de la escuela superior, cursé grados asociados en Ingeniería de computadoras, Teología, Comunicaciones, Alta Costura, Artes Culinarias y Artes Marciales. Sin embargo a pesar de que aún hay otras cosas que deseo estudiar la escritura es lo que mas me llena, creo que de forma alguna sirve de válvula de escape o de instrumento para poder dejar salir a flote parte de mi introvertido yo. A pesar de que me proyecto mas al área del arte en específico las escritas, no me considero como escritor, si no mas bien como un cuentista, guionista o productor de varios géneros literarios; que es a mi entender la mejor descripción a lo que hago. Aunque aun me falta un largo camino por recorrer y entender, en el proceso he logrado hacer público varios de mis escritos incluyendo una película que se escribió y se grabó para la televisión y aun no ve la luz pública. Mientras desde un rincón en el pueblo de Toa Baja Puerto Rico, continúo haciendo accesible al público a cuenta gotas varios de mis escritos aquí en Smashwords.com También cuento con una página de web de tipo informativo respecto a los que desean aprender a escribir y en la que transfiero partes esenciales de lo que he podido aprender y recolectar en estos años de búsqueda. Por Facebook: Escribiendo Ahora. Para preguntas y comentarios puedes enviarlas aquí: mvn7705@yahoo.com Mientras que continuaré tratando de transferirle a mi manera mi forma de ver la vida a manera quizás de como abordar los problemas del día cotidiano y todas las interrogantes que esto pueda plantear como lo es nuestra existencia, que de forma alguna queramos o no, a todos nos toca cuestionar. Excito a todos en la vida, solo no se rindan que pronto irán alcanzando sus metas un día a la vez.
