4. Self Defence Tips Everyone Should Know - Teaching people self defence is my game and I've been doing it for quite a while now. I began training in martial arts over thirty years ago and I hold a 2nd Dan black belt in Jujitsu. These days I focus solely on teaching Combatives. Besides self defence my other main passion has always been writing, so I try to combine the two. When I'm not teaching self defence I'm writing about it on my blog or publishing articles and e-books elsewhere. I also used to be a bouncer. I did that job for many years and much of the experience I gained from that can be found in my writing and teaching. I live in N.Ireland with my wife, two daughters and the most beautiful granddaughter you ever did see.

The Forgotten Ones is her first published novel.
   
7. Ride of a Lifetime by Penny Estelle - Hi everybody! My name is Penny Estelle. I was a school secretary for 21 years and retired in 2009. We moved to our retirement home in Kingman, AZ, and we live on 54 acres in a very rural area. Actually we live “off the grid”, on solar and wind. A real adjustment for a city girl. I must say – I love it. Nothing like looking out your window in the early morning and see a wave of quail running across the property, or walking out your front door at night and hear coyotes howling in the distance and seeing a sky bursting with stars. It is breathtaking! I started writing for kids right before I retired. There is always material when kids are involved. I am pleased to say I have several middle grade/tween books out and my debut book for adults, under P. A. Estelle, was just recently released. I also have a non-fiction story out about our life with solar. You can find out more about my books and myself at http://www.pennystales.com or www.pennyestelle.blogspot.com. Please stop by anytime. I love visitors!

There was a young man; as "Meus" he was known. And it seemed he was destined also to own... That Marvel of Rhyme, that so very few see. Their names even rhymed--it was just meant to be. Like you, Meus grew up with the Grinch and the Cat. And he felt in himself, "Hey, I can do that." One day he was reading that Green Eggs and Ham, and then he just knew, "I'm a Rhymer, I am." So he dug up some paper and pulled out a pen, and just started writing and then... then... well, then... Born was the Mr. - one tale then another. So go tell your mother, your father, your brother, Your uncle, your grandma, your neighbour, your sister, about this new Meus that they're calling Mr. His rhymes have that marvel of old Mother Goose and that master of rhyme, the great Dr. Seuss. That marvel of Meus: it's awe and then some. So stay tuned for the wonder... there's more yet to come. "If you like Dr. Seuss, you'll love Mr. Meus."

24. The Slave Factory - It occurred to him that perhaps, he might be a better writer of erotic fiction if he targeted his craft towards one person at a time, making love to one reader at a time. [ From I. M. Telling's story Simone and the Writer ] A little perversion of the mind makes it interesting. It also means we typically lead double lives - one for those who think we're normal, and then there is our real world. "I am convinced that the mind is the most powerful sex organ in the body. I hope my stories generate stirrings within the reader, by being somewhat specific with the x-rated portions. Yet I mostly want my readers to make a journey of their own as they follow the changes happening inside the minds of my characters, who I consider to be my friends. I never judge nor fault my characters, as it is their journey and not mine." I. M Telling Mr. Telling states "I prefer to evolve the characters within my tales, making their journey from where they start to where they reach by the last page as the reason for the story." I.M. Telling lives in the southern United States, on the coast and has been a non-fiction writer for some time. He has always wanted to write erotica and is finally making that dream a reality. His writing includes everything from highly explicit erotica featuring interracial relationships, swinging, and cuckold tales to very sensual stories of bondage and examining the dynamics of open marriage. His writing has also started to extend into other genres including adventure, humor, and stories with extreme violence. Many of his writings take a tongue-in-cheek approach to the subject matter, often poking fun at stereotypes and purposely going over-the-top with subtle and dark humor, he often includes a twist ending.

M. Telling regarding his existing works plus any story ideas you might have.

32. Passage Graves by Madyson Rush - Madyson Rush wasn't born, she was adopted. She attributes her writing ability to her adoptive mother because early home life arguments were always settled by abiding her mother's motto "use your words." Rush isn't British, but she would like to be. When she reads the Bible, her voice sounds British in her head. She is the winner of her 5th and 6th grade elementary school's prestigious "Young Author" award. In her free time, Rush enjoys practicing her autograph and crashing Mary Kay parties. Her dream is to be on an airplane sitting next to someone reading one of her books. When she is feeling sad, she writes sad poems. When she is feeling happy, she writes sad poems. She likes supermodels and asparagus, after all, they are both quite similar. Rush's bibliography includes books in multiple genres: ~ TECHNO-THRILLERS ("Passage Graves" series) ~ YA FICTION (look for her upcoming debut of "Psi Series", as well as "Project Blue Book" and "Pickle" ~ LITERARY FICTION ("Stillpoint" and "The Devil's Gate") ~ CHILDREN'S PICTURE BOOKS ("Terrible Things You Can Do with the Letter B", "What the Phobia?" and "While You Were Away" Twelve years ago, during a lull at work, after a random search on the internet I came across the phrase: "PASSAGE GRAVES". My brain exploded. Just the name had me hooked. What in the world was a passage grave? Life changed in that moment, and the four-book series of PASSAGE GRAVES was born. The story immediately blossomed. Like other writers say, the story "came to me." PASSAGE GRAVES was originally written as a screenplay while I was a post-grad film student at UCLA. In fact, in its infancy, the script was entered in a screenplay contest sponsored by Steven Spielberg and won a finalist award. Over the next decade, I turned it into a well-researched novel. The characters came alive and a larger story arch emerged. I hope you enjoy reading PASSAGE GRAVES as much as I enjoyed writing it.

35. Sea Stirred by Caroline Williams - I was one of those little girls who wrote all the time. I'd scribble stories constantly, usually the first few chapters before I'd get bored with that idea and start another one. Quite often I was the heroine in some sort of thinly-veiled disguise, quite often rather hard-done-by, and always considerably more athletic/attractive/adventurous than was in fact the case in real life. But that's one of the perks of being the author! The stories ranged from a few paragraphs to several chapters but nothing was ever finished. I was also exceptionally secretive about anything I'd written, and no-one was ever allowed to see any of it. This ranged from my diary which is utterly private, to school compositions which I would be somewhat reluctant to hand in. So life intervened and other stuff happened, like university and work, although I still wrote my diary. Then suddenly I had an urge to write and this time, for the first time ever, I actually finished a novel. I sent it off to a few agents but had no luck, and then plunged into novel number two. A very lovely agent is considering it, with some major revisions, but in the meantime I decided I'd give the first book an airing! I'm an English graduate, a freelance marketing consultant, married with one son, and when I'm not writing or yelling at my son to come off the computer and do his homework, I like singing, reading, playing tennis, genealogy and baking.
