3. The Color of Greed by Jack Thompson - 2012-08-16 12:33:25-04
   Words and language have always held a fascination for Jack Thompson. He spoke English and French as a child and by the age of five reading had become a passion. Jack is interested in people and improving the human condition, a theme that shows up frequently in his writing. His philosophy of writing is simple: “Writing should interest and entertain a reader. It should broaden a reader's horizons, stimulate his imagination and increase his understanding of the world around him. He may find out something about himself he did not previously realize. It should move him emotionally to cry, or to fear, or to be angry, or to laugh. Perhaps, all of the above. And, most of all, the reader should have fun.” Besides writing novels, short stories and poetry, Jack works as a private tutor in Florida where he lives with his wife of twenty-five years.

7. Lesbian Crushes and Bulimia: A Diary on How I Acquired my Eating Disorder - 2012-08-16 12:38:23-04
   I have been a devoted, prolific diarist for very many years, since childhood, propelled by the luxury of owning a detailed record of my life. I have always kept two copies of my diaries, in different towns, to avoid accidental loss. To date, the number of words I have written exceeds 6,500,000, rather more than Samuel Pepys’s 2,000,000 words or nineteenth century lesbian diarist Anne Lister’s 4,000,000. Formerly in code (before the purchase of a computer), my diary entries reach around 1000-4000 words per day and have included subjects such as living with a drug dealer, experimenting with drugs, wandering and sleeping rough, shop-lifting, squatting, my affairs with women and unknowingly dating a transsexual woman. I spent my twenties stoned. I spent my thirties working in Information Technology. I currently work as a self-employed web developer. When I'm not playing with my laptop, I'm usually drumming.

21. Colours of Enlightenment by Sandeep Patel - 2012-08-19 22:10:30-04
    Mr. Sandeep Patel has had an extraordinary life. Pulled from either direction Sandeep Patel has been forced to live a life that involved a mixture of two times. His heritage from India had followed him to the modern times in United Kingdom in the years of the 80’s and a difference in family opinion forced him to move again to the United States. Mr. Patel had studied at King’s College London for BDS and further still into life and religion at Southern Wesleyan University for BSc. The most wonderful thing about Sandeep is that we can feel secure with him. He is a pleasure to be with and his work into his writings has filled a hole in my life. Sandeep has worked strongly with many different types of people and has been fortunate to explore the globe for the learning off many people. Mr. Patel is an investor of education at Zen School, India and promoting a simpler but yet stronger sense to relationships with English to that part of the world. These pieces of writing by Mr. Patel are unique to say the least. They are as part of one understanding divided into three opinions. And for Sandeep to write his fourth book would require some explosive creativity.

24. Julianne - 2012-08-19 22:15:25-04
    I am a Christian and a graduate of Jacksonville University, Jacksonville, Fl. I chose to write Christian fiction out of a desire to provide encouragement to believers and an invitation to non-believers through a realistic portrayal of life. While my books may have a happy ending, the characters will have faced the same struggles everyone deals with, but find their strength in faith Jesus.
    
25. The Absolutely Amazing Adventures of Agent Auggie Spinoza by Steven Stickler - 2012-08-19 22:15:52-04
    Steven Stickler is no rocket scientist. He will never be confused with a professional athlete. He is not (despite widespread rumors) the actor who played Cousin Oliver in The Brady Bunch, nor was he a guest drummer for the Beatles during a brief period in the mid-1960s. He is something completely different: a writer. He began writing when he was five years of age and, perhaps due to an oversight by those in positions of authority, was never told to stop. He lives in the great Pacific Northwest of the United States, where he enjoys exploring the outdoors with his family and, of course, reading at least one book by Dr. Seuss every year.

27. Signals & Messages by Gil C. Schmidt - 2012-08-19 22:17:00-04
    When I wasn't tearing around the neighborhood crashing into things (trees can be tricky) or acting like each baseball game (or any game, for that matter) was a "winner take all" epic, I was reading. Plenty of short stories, particularly those in "Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine" and "Boy's Life." Also comic books, tons and tons of comic books, along with science fiction by the truckloads. And anything else I could find, from "Newsweek" and "Reader's Digest" to "Highlights" and the encyclopedia. Like most avid readers, I wanted to read more than the story in front of me: I wanted to read MY story, the way I would write it. Started in the 7th grade and received praise, which was nice, but I knew I needed to do better. Kept writing, pages and pages that were stored in boxes, page that were taken out every few months and after re-reading to see if I'd made progress, stored again, out of sight. Started submitting and got rejected, but sold three stories on my first day of acceptance into professionalism and that kept me on track. Now I write daily, though most of it is not fiction. Still, it is writing, and when I get the chance--or more precisely, when I make the chance--to write fiction, I revert to the boy on the couch, lost in a story. I think that most writers truly love that feeling, of being "in" the story, lost but intrigued by what comes next. I'm currently working on a new fantasy series, the second book of The Phenomenologists and a dystopian serial novel. Hopefully most of that will see the light of day (or the backlight of a Kindle reader) in 2012.

    Larry Butler has devoted his entire life to the music business, specializing in live performance and touring, artist management and publishing. He played keyboards in Ohio bands during high school and college, also serving as band manager and lead singer. While still in college, he was a successful nightclub owner and local concert promoter in Cincinnati. Also during that time period, his band performed as the opening act for the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys and the Byrds, among others. He even jammed with Jimi Hendrix once at a late night Northern Kentucky club following his Cincinnati show. Larry moved to Los Angeles to begin working as a tour manager for such artists as Randy Newman and Ry Cooder. He then took on an international tour for Isaac Hayes, which included the first-ever performances for mixed race audiences in South Africa. Following the tour, he accompanied Isaac and his band into the studio for his post-Shaft comeback album. In the late '70s, Larry began working with Warner Bros. Records as an in-house tour manager for brand new artists, bringing professionalism to their staging, performance techniques and touring logistics. Those efforts led to a full-time position at WBR, first as National College Manager, then West Coast Artist Development Director and finally as VP of Artist Relations. Larry spent the next 20+ years touring with an unrivaled roster of talent, winning a couple of PollStar Artist Development Executive awards along the way. In addition to guiding a touring field staff, he devised, cleared, funded and settled all artist tour support budgets while overseeing the tour marketing and promotion tours for the Warner Bros. and Reprise promotion and sales teams. After leaving Warners, Larry joined Bill Silva Management as General Manager where he coordinated the projects of all the artists and managers there. He also organized and ran Jason Mraz's publishing during the wild run of "I'm Yours." Simultaneously, he served as day-to-day manager for Silva client Robert Francis through his Atlantic Records signing and subsequent #1 single and touring success in Europe. Larry now heads up his own Did It Music Management, Consultancy and Publishing as well as the Z. Butler Agency from the relative security and serenity of the San Fernando Valley (www.diditmusic.com). He is a licensed California Talent Agent and Notary. He books and manages San Diego-based singer/songwriter Dawn Mitschele (www.dawnmitschele.com) and administrates her publishing. He is separately affiliated with ASCAP as a songwriter and music publisher. Larry also works with a new Los Angeles-based independent music marketing and artist management company, The Artist Cooperative, consulting in the areas of management, staging, performance, touring and publishing. (www.theartistcooperative.com) Larry has written a book of advice and tips for singer/songwriters and musicians/performers entitled The Twelve Lessons of Rock 'N' Roll (for Your Career and Your Life), now available at Amazon/Kindle. The book is based on experiences and events he witnessed while on the road with rock 'n' roll artists and bands. There's even a chapter about being in the right place at the right time, with specifics about the Rolling Stones gig and the Jimi Hendrix jam. Concurrently, Larry has accumulated 365 Musical Tips of the Day from rock stars he has encountered along the way regarding songwriting, recording, and performing, and he posts one a day on Twitter.
