  4. Fearlings by Michael Edward - 2012-09-13 20:34:55-04
    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.

  6. Death and Taxes - 2012-09-13 20:38:27-04
    English author Simon Whitmore was born in Leicester, and spent his youth watching all the late night horror double-bills on TV and reading some of the many tales of Agaton Sax by Swedish author Nils-Olof Franzén. During his formative years he dragged himself through the 1980s to the tunes of The Smiths, Madness, New Order, The Human League, Yazoo, Heaven 17, OMD and Japan amongst many others (some good, some bad). In 1996, he moved to New Zealand where he worked in the security industry. It was during his time in NZ he stepped up his reading, in particular the many theories surrounding the Jack the Ripper case of 1888. After seven years, he returned to the UK with a passion for writing. Some of his favourite reads include Neverwhere & The Graveyard Book, both by Neil Gaiman, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, I am Legend by Richard Matheson and Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks. He has recently read and enjoyed My Dear, I wanted to tell you by Louisa Young and he harbours a dream one day to write a novel about the Great War. Death & Taxes is his first novel. Partnership from Hell is his second novel, spawned from his interest in JTR and love of vampires.

  14. No stranger to the P45 – Volume One - 2012-09-14 18:02:21-04
    Dan W.Griffin was born in Bath at 9.27 on the morning of June 26, 1972. It was a Monday. And it explains a lot. Dan was first educated - a somewhat loose and inaccurate term - at Frome Community College and was later accepted by the University of Sunderland to study geology. Failing to study anything whatsoever over the next three years he was urged to leave the city by a gangster whose thugs wanted to snap his legs like Twiglets. He has since spent the best part of twenty years trying to figure out what on earth he is actually going to do with the rest of his life. Over those twenty years - plus a considerable amount of time before - Dan has tried with varying levels of acute failure to pursue careers across a wide range of industries including catering, engineering, entertainment and logistics. He has tried burger-flipping and bar-tending, entrepreneurship and company directing. He has operated rides in amusement parks, sold advertising and failed to be remotely skilled in painting and decorating. Dan has also been a chauffeur, a White Van Man, a movie stand-in and a television extra. In addition to these roles Dan has tried without success to become a product designer, a photographer, a radio talk show host and a salesman. He was a rubbish postman too, the worst-ever manager of a band very popular in Holland and an altogether appalling Santa Claus. He is currently attempting a similar level of achievement in his efforts to become a writer. Dan began his inaccurately-termed 'writing career' as a student with his column for the student newspaper, The Student Times. With his first ever piece catching the attention of a number of solicitors and left-wing organisations, a few articles and a couple of unsuccessful lawsuits in, the paper was formally withdrawn from circulation. Dan is indeed no stranger to the P45. Dan currently lives near Bath and is not married. He has never been married and has no wish to be married in the foreseeable future. His hobbies include: being tactful and sensitive about things, building ironically-platonic friendships with women, and bastardising the English language. A life-long writer of miscellaneous ramblings and Strongly Worded Letters, No stranger to the P45 is Dan's first remotely publishable work. It is also probably his last.

  17. The Master’s Reliquary Book One: The Man of Signs - 2012-09-14 18:08:32-04
    Jim Dameron was born the second of four children in San Diego, California, in 1948. Jim studied English and Anthropology at the University of California, Riverside, where he met his future wife, Sammie. Two years after their marriage, they moved to rural Grays Harbor County in Washington, living first in a remote area accessible by a hand-constructed swinging cable bridge. They now live at the outskirts of the small coastal County Seat town of Montesano, thirty-five minutes from the Pacific Ocean. Jim and Sammie have two grown sons, Dan and K.C. Jim graduated from the Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington and spent ten years as a public school teacher. He found that teaching, though rewarding, is also all-consuming and leaves little time for other pursuits, particularly writing. Since resigning as a full-time teacher, Jim, in addition to working on his novels, has had travel adventures in the United States, England, Mexico, and Uganda, East Africa, which have helped inspire him with material for several anticipated manuscripts. Jim expresses that in writing he has had a renewal of that same vision that led him into teaching in the first place – the opportunity to share ideas, knowledge, and faith.
