- Dear Teddy -
Little boy little boy,
Curled in a ball.
I know your secrets,
I know them allI write in my journal as much as I can. I talk to Mr. Ted. He is my only friend. He understands when the bad man comes. He holds my hand when I have nightmares and my mummy doesn’t hear me cry. Mr. Ted doesn’t tell. He won’t say when my daddy hurts me. He keeps my secrets and my stories. I love Mr. Ted. He is the only one who loves me back.
Mr. Ted.
I keep falling asleep. Bad things happen. I get sore all the time. But I don’t know why. My mum says it’s a demon. Because I got evil. Please make me be good.…
Where does an abused child turn when he has no one to talk to? Believing that he is evil and meant to be a victim, he tells his horrific journey to his only friend, Mr. Ted. The boy is five. In his own words through the compelling pages of his journal, he writes in terrific detail of unspeakable abuse forced upon him by his parents. Through manipulation and control, he is moulded into a creation of their own design. Fear follows close behind in the guise of the “bad man.”
His voice is no longer silent.

My name is JD Stockholm. I am the author of Dear Teddy.
I wrote this to give a child that never had one a voice. I also blog as I go. The blog is mostly for my journey. To get those thoughts out that linger in my mind until I am driven crazy. Its sharing. Maybe someone reading will realise they are not alone. Maybe when someone comments I will realise that too.
We all walk along different paths, but sometimes, when the road is rocky, the way to go is unclear and you just need that helping hand. Its good to look over the canyon next you and see someone else doing the same.
Give them a little wave. Smile say Hi. And know that why ever you are here reading. If your struggles plague you. You are not alone.
The book or blog maybe triggering. Please read with caution if you have been a victim of abuse in any kind.

Hi! My name is Junia Wonders.I have dreamed of telling stories since I was a child. I can remember telling a story about a family of nine, a father, a mother and their seven children (all below ten), traversing the solitary desert on foot with a lone camel, which the children sometimes rode, all seven of them, when their feet got too tired. How did they all fit on one camel you might ask? Well, a rolled mat was placed on top of the camel’s hump. Balancing precariously, three children sat on each side of the mat and the seventh (the heaviest one) sat in the middle.
Every night, they would stop somewhere, preferably near an oasis or a sheltered spot to camp and rest their weary legs. The children would gaze at the night sky and make up stories about the stars. I was around five when I first thought of this story. I doodled on my lined notebooks and told myself this story over and over until I grew older and came up with other stories, which I can’t remember anymore. But it was one of the happiest times of my life, imagining this family travelling endlessly under a picture perfect desert sky.
One day, I woke up and realised I had finally obtained a degree from a respectable university, but it had nothing to do with creative writing. It was for the best, I thought, as I needed to let go of my fancy imaginings (silly made up stories!) and become a responsible adult, which meant I had to get a job, get my own apartment, earn my own keep so to speak. And that’s what I did for the next decade and a half. But a voice inside me kept pestering me to sit down and write those stories. I don’t know about you but when you start hearing a persistent voice inside you telling you to write a story, you’d better sit down and write that story. I am just sorry I’d waited this long to finally give my dream a chance. All those wasted years doing repetitive things that I wasn’t passionate about. But I can’t turn back time and I most certainly refuse to live in regret. Each day I have from now on is golden; an opportunity to make my dreams happen. Thankfully, it is not too late.
Having ignored that voice for so long, I finally listened to it. I sat down and wrote. And for the first time in my entire life since I came up with the story of the family traversing the desert on a lone camel, I felt so alive. Like a heavy black shroud was lifted from me, leaving me ten times lighter and freer. Is this what it feels like to finally pursue your passion? To chase your dream? Because it is such a wonderful feeling. Throughout my life, I’ve tried a few different career paths, but none of them come close to making me feel this happy, this fulfilled.
I hope you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them.

- WINDFALL -
99 Cent Bargain from June 25 – 27, 2014
To all appearances, Seth Tatton is a middle-of-the-pack attorney just keeping his head above water. But he has a side job, working for a shadowy cabal of politicians, billionaires and military leaders. With each assignment, he learns more about their plot and, and grows more intrigued.
Even in Seth’s secret life, things are not what they seem. There’s something inside of him. And it has big plans for him, plans that it and others like it have nursed for centuries. But when Seth is assigned to watch a troubled young woman, all of those plans fall into question.
A story of the second American civil war, alternative energy and demonic possession, WINDFALL is part political thriller and part paranormal epic.
A semi-finalist for the 2013 Horatio Nelson Fiction Prize, WINDFALL is the latest novel from Pushcart-Prize nominated poet, and author of The Last Bad Job and Another Broken Wizard, Colin Dodds.
“WINDFALL is not your typical political thriller. Dodds deftly weaves in a solid paranormal thread that explores ambition, myth and morality in an indifferent America without resorting to pulpit thumping or cardboard villains.”
-The New Podler Review of Books“Smart people compliment the smart and direct narrative in a way that keeps a reader… eager to turn the page to discover the next big move from these compelling leads… (WINDFALL) could easily stand up against the more famous works of the genre.”

He’s the author of several novels, including WINDFALL and The Last Bad Job, which the late Norman Mailer touted as showing “something that very few writers have; a species of inner talent that owes very little to other people.” Dodds’ screenplay, Refreshment, was named a semi-finalist in the 2010 American Zoetrope Contest. His poetry has appeared in more than a hundred publications, and has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife Samantha.

- The king’s Ward -
Byron and Calista are fey, a branch of humanity with parapsychic powers who have lived alongside humanity since earliest times. Fey do not nurture. Fey children have one defence mechanism to help them survive to adulthood – people do not readily notice them, easily forget them, they walk like ghosts through their own lives… until their powers begin to stir. Until they meet. Until their powers are triggered by a touch.
“Why? Why didn’t you see me?”
Calista’s anguished cry rings through the seventeen years of her life. Her question embodies a dream. A hope. A fervent prayer.
Someone please notice me, see me, know me.
Strangers walk into her in the street. Ignore her when she speaks. No one sees her unless she demands their attention. After just a moment’s stillness and she is forgotten.
Calista walks like a ghost through her own life. No one sees her. No one ever has, and she believes no one ever will.
Calista searches for an answer to the one burning question of her life.
Why? Why does no one see me? Instead she finds Byron, a boy her own age. And suddenly everything changes. Like her, Byron is unseen. But he can see her.
And Byron can hear other people’s thoughts.

- From Shy to Hi -
The Shyness Curse
40 percent to 45 percent of adults say they are shy. Every excursion out of their home feels like a minefield littered with something terrifying—people they don’t know.
Social anxiety is one of the most common hurdles people face. Confronted with the options of breaking out of their shell or retreating inward, most shy people choose the latter; the possibilities of ridicule, shame or awkwardness are simply too overwhelming to handle.Ok, I’m Shy. So What?
While it would be untrue to say that no shy person has ever found success in life or business, the truth is that hiding behind shyness is limiting. The whole depth and beauty of forming close relationships with others often evades the shy person.
Those with the confidence to meet new people, to pursue what they want and to be vulnerable enough to help others in need are the people who will find the most beauty and success in the world.
Overcoming shyness is not simply about fulfilling your needs; the most successful people tend to be those who help others get what they want while pursuing their own desires. The ability to give to others, and in turn increase one’s own bounty, requires courage and self-confidence.But I’ve Always Been Shy, There’s No Hope for Me.
Michal Stawicki, author of From Shy to Hi, can relate. Until recently, Michal was painfully shy; it held him back in his social life, kept him from achieving his dreams and broke his heart every time he saw someone in need and couldn’t muster the courage to offer them help or even a kind word of encouragement.
That is, until he decided to change. When Michal began a journey of self-actualization, he realized that he needed to banish his social anxiety and build self-confidence to get where he wanted to be.Success through Consistency and Small Actions
Like the rest of the philosophy which guided Michal’s new-found growth, success in conquering his shyness came from taking small, daily steps. For most people suffering from social anxiety, the idea of instantly stepping out of their shell and becoming outgoing is terrifying, and for that reason is not the right approach.
Instead, Michal developed a practice focused on helping the shy person achieve confidence over time, through small, easily achieved building blocks.From Shy to Hi includes:
● The sources of shyness
● Confidence and trust
● Visualization and mental exercises to build a confident mindset
● A 21-day blueprint for overcoming shyness, and:
● Personal success stories from the author and tips from readersBanish your Social Anxiety and Live your Dreams
Looking forward to the future, confident you? You too can take small steps that drive big results. From Shy to Hi will show you how!

I was born and raised in Pasadena, TX (basically Houston, TX). I am 25 years old and although I have tons of schooling behind me, I love being challenged and developing new skills in different fields. I have a certificate in Automotive/Diesel technology, an Associate of Arts degree in General Studies, an Associate of Science degree in Mathematics and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.My dream is to one day open my own engineering firm with a focus on serving our clients, but also to research/develop new methods/technology that can be used to improve performance and fuel economy of modern vehicles/engines. I would also like to serve my community by opening a chain of businesses in different industries in order to create full time jobs and to stimulate my passion of engineering into many different fields.
The books I write about focus on fields that I have personal experience in. For example, my first two books focus on how to survive and thrive in college. However, I have experience in other fields such as business, electrical, automotive, and more. I plan on writing more books as time allows, with the intent of sharing my experience along with real honest advice, so my readers can make the most of the situation they are currently in or thinking of pursuing.
Your support is greatly appreciated, all proceeds from my book sales will be used to support me during my most expensive years in college and hopefully allow me to get a head-start on raising capital to open up a local business.

Here’s the bottom line… I love to laugh, I love to drink and I love to eat.I also love writing.
As a child I had stories going through my head. It took me a long time to realise I should write them down, therefore clearing my mind. Little did I know another one would pop up!
I wanted to be painter since I was a child. I was told, while being assessed at the end of my art foundation, I should go into drama or be a stand-up comedian. I’m short, so even if I did ‘stand up’ it’d be hard to see me and I realise that was their way of telling me I was rubbish at art.
I’ve worked in various jobs and I have been extremely lucky to do what I wanted to do… though I have a habit of changing my mind every so often.
If you want something, go for it. The only thing holding you back is you. You only have one life so don’t say ‘if only’ say ‘well at least I tried’.
Writing, like anything creative, is an exposure. Not everyone likes what you write, what you say or what you think… but some people do. That’s my focus. On the people who like what you write… what I write.
The stories are written in British English… and translates perfectly for all!Happy Now? by S M Mala is a post from Awesome Gang

I sort of fell into the job of running a crop-dusting business when my dad decided he’d rather go on a cruise than take another season of lazy pilots, missing flaggers, testy farmers and horrific hours. After two years at the helm, I handed him back the keys and fled to a city without any of the above. And no, I was never a crop-duster.
I write about a tall, blond and beautiful ex-model turned crop-duster who, to quote Lalla Bains, says: “I’ve been married so many times they oughta revoke my license.” I wanted to give readers a peek at the not so-perfect -life of a beautiful blond. Lalla Bains is no Danielle Steele character, she’s not afraid of chipping her manicure. Scratch that, the girl doesn’t have time for a manicure what with herding a bunch of recalcitrant pilots and juggling work orders just to keep her father’s flagging business alive.A Dead Red Oleander is a post from Awesome Gang

A voice from the darkness…

Barely recovered from her last rescue mission, she doesn’t trust her own senses, or a man who uses seduction in such a devastating way. But with the possibility of a child’s life in danger, Liz and Galen can’t afford to let it get personal again. Finding the child comes first, even though their hearts and minds are daring them to love…THE INTREPID WOMEN SERIES

Love. A young heart. Pen and paper. That is all it takes to pour your soul out. Love – a power, strong enough to create miracles, to defied all odds, to make you untouchable and, at the same time, a force that is capable to destroy your heart and break your soul into pieces.
Poetry is an unique way to share emotions. These pages will let you to a place that is at the same time unique and beautiful, and torn, confused, and painful; a place where love is everything and nothing; a place that, I believe, you know.Learn more about the author, buy the book, or follow them on social media:

Hi, if you’re wondering why I write, it is because I like to express and explore ideas through the medium of writing. Another form of expression for me is music.In the past, I have written and recorded music under the name of Kozmic Dreamers. The music has a 60′s to 90′s flavor to it and is available online at a number of good music stores.

- Izzy Questions love and other rebellious symptoms by Panos Tserolas -
About Izzy Questions love and other rebellious symptoms by Panos Tserolas:What if there was a pill that could suppress the libido?
What if you were required to take it?
What would you do?
In the near future, the world is much like today, only just a bit more bleak, a bit more oppressed and a bit more… crowded.
Izzy dreams of finishing her studies, finding a good job and having an easy, controlled life. That makes sense.
Jonathan, however, keeps getting in her way. And he is quite annoying, pretentious and arrogant. He just can’t help showing up, raising questions.
She gets mad, and he gets stubborn; for this is a story about a strange love, in a world that doesn’t quite allow it. Not only that; it unleashes all its fury against love and sex. This is also a story about a pill, the Zoller Treatment, set to abolish attraction and sexuality, to declare war against libido. And this pill, well… it’s obligatory.
That last bit shouldn’t make much sense.
Also, this is a story about killer whales, nudists, asexual cats, unicorns and a bunch of other irrelevant stuff.

Panos was born in the middle of a typical Mediterranean summer in 1985 and grew up in Athens (from September to May) and the island of Evia (in the summers). This seasonal and geographic differentiation is quite significant in his childhood, since Evia still remains his center of inspiration and peace of mind; and is, of course, one of the most quietly beautiful corners of Greece.He had the inclination to read (more like, digest everything in printed form) and write from a small age, but his school years led him to Geology and to the University of Patras, in 2003. There, while studying and uncovering the mechanisms of the Earth’s processes, he was part of the student movements against privatization of Greek education, within a storm of department occupations and extensive protests, which finally led to the great youth uprising against state repression in 2008. The turmoil in Greece runs parallel to his first attempts to shape a huge and initially abstract volume of unfinished ideas and stories and put them to paper.
After graduation he started post-graduate studies in Applied Geology, while the financial crisis and the severe austerity measures ignited the tinder of a social uprising that carried hope (and inspiration) alongside its endurance and resistance against the often violent repression, during the summer of 2012. At that point he completed his M.Sc. studies and started his Ph.D. in Petroleum Geology and Basin Analysis (which is a very cool subject, by the way).
During a break from the big protests, he isolated himself in Oktonia, Evia and started writing. He hasn’t stopped until today, with the adventures of Izzy Collins being the first to be concluded. In between his ongoing studies at the University of Patras, he is still an active member in the struggle against the severe austerity, suppression and collective melancholy of Greece. He considers himself an amateur in writing, which in Greek (erasitexnis) means ‘lover of art’, with the intention to remain so and never allow himself to be forced to marry his imagination only to have routine sex with it. Besides reading novels (with a sweet tooth for American beat and post-beat literature) he enjoys reading and writing movie reviews, the deep waters of the Aegean Sea in Evia and arguing with his hyper-nervous bastard dog, Roza, that just can’t stand firecrackers.
