Author bio:
Why? Why not? Its fun! Today there are many freedoms to express one's creativity and share it with the world! Who will you inspire? Got for it! Purchase an ebook for your family. Anyone who buys an ebook has permission to make their own video of the books. Join in the endeavor to read to children all over the world through the internet. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dawn Maria Brady has been a military spouse for nearly 30 years. For many of those years she worked in daycare centers. She also ran a home daycare for seven years. In addition to supplying meals for the children, she made breakfast for parents before they headed off to work. She wrote and illustrated many stories for her own children as well as her daycare "babies." Story time was one of the favorites besides water play. The family has had many places to call home although Dawn Maria and the children have never left the states. Her husband was the one who traveled all over the world. As a military spouse and family, you have to be adventurous, independent, since your husband is gone for a year at a time, dedicated and most of all, able to go with the flow and accept changes as they happen. Living a military life has hardships and is emotional. When the soldiers leave for a tour in a war zone, we often wonder in silence as we watch the ceremony and say our good-byes; who isn't coming home. This is not a job. Its a way of life that tests a person in ways never imagined. It makes you stronger, deeper and rearranges priorities. Dawn Maria told her husband, "I can hold on as long as you can! We are in this together!" THE FUTURE: Dawn Maria is working on new children's books, "Leaping Frog Brags" which is a rewrite from an original 22 years ago, "Read and Do", and "Word Play." Also look for Story Rock, a young adult novel to be released in 2012. Thank you for visiting and see the facebook page link below for more updates.

Author bio:
I live in Texas and am now practicing for retirement, having worked in landscape management for about 30 years. I make the 2nd best lasagna in all the world, have some following for my "Grandma David's sugar cookies", and am returning to making really good kaleidoscopes. I would rather watch a thunderstorm than television; my favorite entertainment is live theatre or symphony. I have three children living in Texas, one son in Heaven, and three terrific grandchildren: one granddaughter and one grandson, both 14 years old, and a one year old grandson. My Dad is now 93 and still preaches whenever he can (in addition to raising vegetable and vegetable plants to sell). His dad was a preacher, also. I remember spending a lot of time with Granddad. When I was a kid, Granddad lived with us. Not in our house, but in a separate house on our property. what I most remember about Granddad is his ability to sit in his chair and quote - not read - chapter after chapter of the Bible to me. And interestingly enough, most of what he quoted was passages of prophetic scripture. I suppose that is why I have so often found myself turning to the study of prophecy. Over a period of 30 years, I taught 7 Single Adult Bible study classes in 5 different churches, and 3 married couples classes. I also taught high school age kids and children's classes, coached the kid's softball team, drove buses, took the boy's group to summer camp a couple of years, served on numerous committees, and, oh yeah, served as Church Training Director. Some of my writing appears here in Amazon.com, and more is found in my internet site, Quiet Heart Press, at www.wetouch.net. Quiet Heart has a free online reading room, where you can find some of my books, articles, poetry and prose, and a full-length musical. Quiet Heart Press is neither a business nor a hobby for me; it is a part of my heart I open up to you. This is a place to find some peace and rest in your busy day. Quiet Heart dares to search dark corners of broken hearts ... to touch weary souls ... to speak of hope, and trust, and faith. You are welcome there. PLEASE NOTE: Just like almost everyone, I have a name, and other people have the same, or very similar, name. I am me. I AM NOT the David Duke from Louisiana that was a part of the KKK. I have never been in or aspired to political office. I have never been in prison. I am not a doctor. I have never been on television. ALL the books I have written are presented or published by Quiet Heart Press, and I always use my middle initial in all my work: David A. Duke. Anything else you find or read that does not match all these facts is not by me.

While not exactly an eccentric childhood recluse, I do remember being elated to receive a portable Smith-Corona typewriter for my 10th birthday! Do you recall the good old days of ink ribbons and whiteout? Whether scriptwriting television commercials for my family music business, or implementing multimedia promotions for various bookstores, I have thoroughly appreciated the art of writing and marketing. I am an Internet Content Writer, editorialist, songwriter, and musician. My true passion, however, is historical fiction like the latest novel "TO SENSE WORTH," and children's books, such as the "NELLIE GREEN the JELLY BEAN" series. Visit my blog "writercamp," which encourages aspiring writers to share in the legacy of literature. Many people have asked me why I put a dot in front of my initials, EF. My answer?

Author bio:
Born in Cheshire, England, Ross McLeod studied at Stockport College and the Open university. His work, as a risk assessment engineer, took him to many parts of the world and into many interesting places, including gas exploration platforms in the North Sea, nuclear submarines and many of Scotland's and Northern England's prisons. This mind-broadening lifestyle has given him a vast and comprehensive insight into the diverse and complicated world in which we live and whether writing for children, or an older readership, as Len Cooke, his travels and experiences have given him an ability to write with authority, humour and an understanding of both his characters and his craft that is very hard to match. Now retired from his 'usual day job', he lives 'quietly, apart from when the grandchildren (code-named the SAS) come round' with his wife, Pip the Border collie dog and Penny, the ever mischievous, Main Coon cat.

As an author, philosopher, public speaker, cigar enthusiast, former pianist and book reviewer, history nut, and all-around good guy, I consider myself something of a renaissance man. My first love is writing and it is in my blood. It started early and has kept going ever since. At sixteen I won 2nd place in a national essay contest and was editor of my high school newsletter. At college I served as editor-in-chief of the campus newspaper. Once out of college I began a popular online book review service. In 2007 I withdrew from reviewing to focus all my attention on writing. I am also an annual judge in Baker Trittin Press’s Tweener Time International Chapter Book Competition. My most recently published work is Passing Through: An Ex-Fundamentalist’s Pursuit of Personal Spirituality.

Author bio:
Steve Simons is primarily a writer of Science Fiction, aimed at a FAMILY audience, although he has turned his hand (or should that be wordprocessor) to other forms of story. Steve started using his creative imagination as a child, entertaining groups of children in the neighbourhood. Many was the time that the children would get into trouble for getting back home later than heir normal "get in by" time, as they got engrossed in one of Steve's stories. Breifly, Steve put his pen to work, writing short stories for the entertainment of family and freinds, but nothing serious came of that. Then in later life, Steve took up the pen again and started writing scripts and short stories for a children's podshow called KidsCastUK. This grew into two shows, one specialising in Science Fiction and Steve took key writer role on that show. Encouraged to do even more, Steve wrote his first book "The Sphere of Time", this grew to become a 3 book series TSOT 1 -3.

Author bio:
I write books across a lot of different genres and styles. I've got some sci-fi, some mystery, some satire, some young adult, a little kids' book, and some just plain old-fashioned stories. Most are short and easy to read, are sometimes funny and often feature unexpected endings. Some of my books are related to each other, sharing characters, locales and plots. Snapdragon Alley, Freak City and Dragon Town comprise "The Dragon City Trilogy" The "All Geeked Up" collection includes World Weary Avengers, Ledman Pickup, and In Constant Contact "The Secret Trilogy" is 'Chaos Fiction' and includes Squatter with a Lexus, Secret Sidewalk, and Hidden Highway "Rays and Nights" is a collection of cross-genre stories that share certain characters, and includes the faux-horror Zombie Nights, the sci-fi Death Ray Butterfly and the coming-of age stories of Raisinheart Fissure Monroe features the intrepid private eye, Dawn Debris. Missy Tonight follows Orange Car with Stripes in these stories of Atheist Comic Sci-Fi Pulp Fiction. Golden is a screenplay based on Time Zone. Jimmyland is a screenplay based on Phantom of the Mall. Inspector Mole pops up all over the place. If you like one, chances are you'll like another, and if you don't, well, thanks for giving it a try!

Author bio:
Yep, that’s me sitting on a rock in Griffith Park over there on the left. Pretty young to write a book, you say? Actually, the photo was taken a very long time ago, but that little girl with the over-sized boots and sunny smile will always be that age (no matter how many chronological years I accumulate). You see, once upon a time I was a “Little Orange” in the “Big Apple”------a little girl from sleepy Sherman Oaks, California who suddenly found herself (along with her brother, mother and father) living in the city that NEVER sleeps, New York City! That little girl pretty much ran wild and free through the streets of that great metropolis and had adventures that seem almost unbelievable in retrospect. Before the images fade of those times so long ago, as if in a dream that we try to hold onto upon awakening, I want to share her story with all of you. ---------------------------------- I have long been a reader with a particular fondness for coming-of age books (A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Catcher in the Rye being my personal favorites). I received a 3rd place writing award for an essay on fire prevention in 11th grade that consisted of a fireman holding a hose mounted on top of a block of wood with my name on it. It is still cherished as if it was an Oscar or Olympic medal because it was the first validation of my writing. Also, in no particular order, some of my favorite things are: a plastic container full of chewy Red Vines; a seagull named Ahab with only one webbed-foot that I visit and feed daily; toasted cinnamon muffins with nooks and crannies filled with butter; a tabby cat named MoMo who is missing most of his teeth; the classics of literature, music, and movies-----a shout out to Steinbeck, Vivaldi, and Ted Turner, respectively; and walking cemeteries in every season, honoring those now gone with brief vignettes of their lives and times.

Attack of the Sugar Plum Fairies, A Story for Demented Children by John H. Carroll Attack of the Sugar Plum Fairies, A Story for Demented Children by John H. Carroll Oct. 21, 2011 Free! 6703 words Read a sample
Author bio:
John H. Carroll was the youngest of seven children and was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1970 where he was kept in a dresser drawer with the clean socks. Luckily he wasn’t kept with the dirty socks or else he might have grown up to become slightly warped. As a child, John spent most of his time wandering through the Mojave Desert in an attempt to avoid people. He would stare at the sky, imagining what it would be like to explore different worlds. One of his favorite memories is watching his dad build the fuselage of Evel Kneivel’s skycycle in their garage. One of his least favorite moments was watching that skycycle fall into the Snake River. (Not his dad’s fault and he has documentation to prove it, so nyah) As a teenager, John spent most of his time driving wherever he could in an attempt to avoid people. He would stare at the road, imagining what it would be like to explore different worlds. He was the captain of the chess team and lettered in golf and band while in high school and wasn’t beaten up anywhere near as much as one might imagine. As an adult, John spent most of his time staring at a computer screen in an attempt to avoid people. He stares at the monitor for hours, imagining what it would be like to explore different worlds. He has been married to his wonderful wife for 14 years and they have three obnoxio . . . wonderful children who always behave . . . when they’re asleep. John is surrounded at most times by emo bunny minions. He is their imaginary friend and they look to him for guidance. At one point they took over the world. No one noticed because they left everything exactly as it was. They gave the world back after a week because it was depressing. The Willden Trilogy is his first series of books. All of his short stories are free and he is working on various novellas as well as a new series coming out in late 2011. He writes in the evenings and weekends whenever possible. Regrettably, the family mentioned in the previous paragraph desires food and shelter, requiring the author to possess a full time job until such time as his writing makes him rich.

Nothing really interesting to say about me. I live in Edinburgh, I don't know what I would put on the inside of a book jacket to make me sound interesting. I might just make stuff up. The Short bedtime stories are freebies. Based on stories I made up for my daughters. They're not as I originally told them as they changed with each telling but similar. The short story collection is also free, I hope you enjoy the seven stories up there. Some of them are on the McStorytellers page. You may find some more of my work there in the future (it's free to read as well). The films that had their names changed is a bit of a laugh really. I started as a joke and then I took it seriously. It will get longer as I find new things to rant about.

Author bio:
Are you a kid who threatens the monsters under your bed, even when you're scared? Do you know exactly what to do if zombies attack--grab a shotgun and run? Do your parents say things like, "Do you ever sit still? Really?" but then have to shake you in order to get your attention while you're reading or playing a video game? Would you like to decorate your room in skulls and bunnies? If so, then have I got stories for you. I grew up telling my brother and cousins stories on our farm whenever we got bored. I would start up the story, and everybody would act it out. We got in lots of fights over who was boss of the story, and I lost a lot of time. I once got so mad that I told my brother we were playing hide and seek instead and locked him in the shed where he was hiding. I think he forgave me…eventually. My first novel, Choose Your Doom: Zombie Apocalypse, lets you choose how you’re going to fight a zombie invasion. Warning: you die. Sometimes, you turn into a zombie and then you die. But can you save the world before you kick the bucket? See any major bookstore in order to buy a copy. “This is how I like my zombies: fast and funny. Choose this book, and you won’t be choosing your doom. You’ll be choosing hours of gooey, gory hilarity.” - Steve Hockensmith, New York Times best-selling author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls My real name is DeAnna Knippling, which I use when I’m writing scary, space/science fiction, or fantasy books for grownups. My husband’s last name is Kenyon (and so is my daughter’s), so that’s the last name I use when I’m writing books for kids. I have a website at www.dekenyon.com.
