2. A Place of Birds by Jane Jackson - 2012-09-08 00:49:39-04
   I’m Jane Jackson and I write historical romances set in Cornwall during the period between the Napoleonic Wars and the Edwardian era. Containing elements of adventure and intrigue, they explore Cornish life at every level of society and are emotionally-gripping stories of courage, ambition, tragedy, and the redeeming power of love. I have been a part-time tutor at University College Falmouth teaching The Craft of Novel Writing, and have also taught at Writing Summer Schools. Eight of my students are now published novelists. I love teaching, but I love writing more.
   
3. The Man Book - 2012-09-08 00:50:09-04
   George P. Saunders is the author of the celebrated and controversial international anomaly, The Art of Whoring - Adventures in Prostitution. He is also the author of Monster Vice, Gray Area, The Last Elf and Mars, The Bringer of War. His recently produced and critically acclaimed contribution to the zombie-genre film world Mutant Vampire Zombies From The Hood, starring C. Thomas Howell is now in worldwide distribution. A former Juilliard alumni and retired ballet dancer, Saunders plans on donating much of the proceeds to his books to the men and women of the combined armed forces of the United States of America. During his time as head writer for Military Films in the early 1990s, wherein he was the liaison for that company to the State Department to acquire combat footage for production, and provide narration over picture, Saunders had the opportunity to work with the U.S. Marines, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, U.S. Air Force and with the invincible U.S. Navy Seals in Coronado, California. Saunders spends his leisure time, when not producing, directing, writing, or acting in feature films around the world, playing chess and perfecting his martial arts, 5-Animal Kung Fu. That is, when he's not enjoying a single-malt scotch, Glenfiddich being his favorite, in which event, he allows his mind to become his own private playground to nurture ideas for future books and screenplays. Saunders will be introducing his very first novel written at the age of 24, Whatever Gods May Be, in March of 2012, followed thereafter by Peter at the Bat, a novel revolving around an ex-Navy Seal fighting domestic terrorism. Saunders lives in Beverly Hills, attempting to mesh in with the plastic beauty of the landscape, and failing miserably. More about Saunders may be gleaned on my blog at www.GeorgePSaunders.blogspot.com
   
4. Enter Sandman (The Wall) by Michael Edward - 2012-09-08 00:51:41-04
   I am Michael Edward, a husband, a father of six, a friend, and a self-proclaimed storyteller. I say storyteller because to use the word writer would be a misrepresentation, it might imply that I can write. I have always felt that my imagination was my strength and I always see everything as a movie. A lot of times when I write, its like I am sitting in a movie theater watching it on screen and I just write down what I see with the words that I know. I love to write screenplays and that bleeds into my writing style. Also, I have epilepsy, and my seizures have increased, so if they bleed into the writing I apologize. I just want to tell entertaining stories that give people a chance to escape reality for a bit. I mean no disrespect to writers. Right now I have six stories available to read: Enter Sandman, Fearlings ONE, Fearlings TWO, Fearlings THREE, The Beginning Of The End: ONE and TWO and then I have WHY (A storyteller's diary). I am currently working on The Beginning On The End: THREE and FOUR and hope to have it available by November, 2012. I am also always working on the sequels Enter Sandman TWO and Fearlings FOUR and will make them available as soon as they are completed. I appreciate anyone who takes the time to read the sample chapters, to buy the stories, or to leave reviews. Like I said, being a husband and a father of six, I understand how valuable time is, and again, thank you.

13. Millie and Honey: The Incredible Instantaneous Interplanetary Adventure: Volume I CATATONIA by J. D. Means - 2012-09-08 15:33:35-04
    The early 1960s was a great time to be a kid. Everything was stable and most children had a safe and comfortable home. Everything was looking up and the future was bright with endless possibilities. The kingdom of Camelot was in full bloom. I was born in Youngstown, Ohio (September 7, 1956) and was raised on a farm, where I did chores and grew a vegetable garden. We were far from rich, but we were not poor either. The second oldest of a family of five and the oldest male, I worked hard and tried my best to learn everything I could about everything. Spending a lot of time reading in my early years I grew up with authors such as: Arthur C. Clark, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and even Douglas Adams. They filled my mind with wonderful far off places, where danger and wondrous discoveries lurked around every corner. During my youth, NASA launched missions into space and even landed on the moon. At that time, it was the childhood dream of most children, to become an astronaut and explore the farthest reaches of space and time. Television shows like; Lost in Space, Star Trek, The Outer Limits, Night Gallery, and My Favorite Martian, flooded air waves and every young boy stayed tuned in to the never ending supply of new adventures. After high school, I enlisted in the Army and became an Airborne Ranger at Ft. Stewart, Georgia. It was an amazing time as we traveled to many places that I had only ever dreamed of, like: Panama, Alaska, and Germany. That is when I was bitten by what the Germanys called: Wanderlust! I fell in love with different cultures and different lands. My life as a gypsy had begun. After the military I attended the Alabama Aviation and Technical College in Ozark, Alabama and graduated with honors, and received my Airframe and Powerplant License. This license became my passport to travel. My first job in aviation was at Grand Isle, Louisiana, where I began applying my trade. Grand Isle was another bite of different cultures and I began writing about the Creole food and the Cajun people, which I met there. The different ways they spoke, their food, and their different mannerisms. My next job took me back to Alabama, where again, my northern upbringing was assailed with a more laid back sort of living, where slow pace of life was governed more by the sun than a clock. From there, I was offered a job in Germany. My lucky day! Living in Wiesbaden, was a dream come true. I could write travel logs about all the journeys that my family and I went on and what was even better, the internet was beginning to blossom so I had an outlet to let others know about the wonderful places we explored. I could not wait till the weekend to map out a different castle, forest, fest or even a different country to discover. Weekends were a time of discovery and learning. All of Europe was at our fingertips. Where traveling a few hours, we could be in the mountains, on a lake, or in a different country, practicing the few words we learned of the language and discovering their food, their culture and their history. While in Germany, I had to chance to deploy with the unit I was working with [5/6 CAV] to Saudi Arabia where I kept a journal of the daily events of the First Gulf War. After the war, I later typed it into my computer and e-mailed the whole experience to family and friends. I feel that this gave them a better understanding and appreciation of the hardships that the servicemen and women went through during that time. After that, I went to Turkey with a small group of soldiers and civilians to a remote outpost near the ancient city of Diyarbakir. What an incredible history this country has, traced back to the Garden of Eden. My rich exposés were filled with the Battles of Normandy in my next trip to Honfleur, France in 1995, where our maintenance team took care of the multitude of aircraft that flew in for the 50th anniversary of the Normandy "D" Day Invasion June 6, 1944. I was amazed at all the information that I learned about the 2nd world war and all the incredible men and women that served. Later, my journals grew as I chronicled the Invasion of Baghdad, and the war in Afghanistan, from the many sites that I worked in during both wars. Over the years, I have written many stories about the men and women that I met from the armed forces of the many nations that participated in these wars. Their stories ranged from heartbreaking to triumphant in as many scenarios as you can imagine. Needless to say, I enjoy writing. Recently, I have begun a series of children's books that I call, The Millie and Honey Series. The first book: CATATONIA is currently out now and the second book, APPLEOPOLIS will be out later this fall. I also write a blog, that is more like a series of short stories about the characters in the books. It is fun to set up a story about one of the characters and develop them more than what is in the books and it gives the readers a more personal glimpse into the persona of each character. Currently, my wife, Rose, and I, and our 4 children (Honey, Thomas, Rags, and Archie) live in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, where I work as a Maintenance Planning Supervisor for Global Aerospace Logistics in Abu Dhabi. We love the people here and the rich culture and ancient history of the region. There is no place on earth like the U.A.E. Visit our web site for more information about us, our books and our weekly blogs. Millie and Honey are once again taking a trip. This time with Mom and Dad as they visit the wonder-filled planet of Appleopolis, a world where the trees and all life have a secret. Come along on another out-of-this-world adventure as our troop is lead by a Yorkshire Terrier (RAGS) through this intriguing planet, where a surprise awaits around each and every turn. http://millieandhoney.com http://www.authorsden.com/joemeans
