Root | by A. Sparrow Feb. 11, 2012 | $0.99 | 120290 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I'm an amateur writer with zero interest in traditional publishing. Nothing against authors who still aim to squeeze a living from this moribund profession. I don't have the time or patience to mess around with that jazz. I write because I'm a fussy reader who struggled to find books worth reading at my local book shops. My shelves became littered with a grim collection of hardcovers and paperbacks I was unable to finish. It reached the point where if I wanted to be entertained by writing, I had to do it myself. My stories may be unusual, but I wouldn't call them literary or experimental. They depict ordinary people in extraordinary situations, free of the usual genre or commercial constraints. I might suggest that if you're looking for more of the same of whatever you've been reading, you'll have better luck looking elsewhere. I'm not particularly proud of any of my books, but some people seem to like them. I'm aiming higher. arrow.asp@gmail.com |

Ruthy's New Texas Lawyer Friend | by John Blandly Feb. 10, 2012 | $1.99 | 5633 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: "Ruthy's New Texas Lawyer Friend" is a Valentine's Day story. So is "Peeps," in a second time around way. Generous small literary publications on rare occasions published my stories. Some are in "Short Stories Online," an ebook here. Like any writer, I depend on the kindness of strangers. "The Drip Theory" is included in a new ebook, "The Stars." I came up with the "Drip Theory" I don't know when, but when I mentioned it to a few people, they thought it was wild. I'm afraid to mention it to respected astronomers, who I come into contact regularly, and who already think I'm in deep space. "The Volunteers" was originally published in "Studio" (Australia). I love Australia and hope some day to visit there. South America too. Here's a link to a new short film, please forgive me: it's called "John Blandly eBooks" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvMuExUS61M&feature=related here's another one" "Parents Weekend" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLLqGAxWAAA&list=UUqSJRvokev5kxqWNfYczwCQ&index=2&feature=plcp Love stories--that's what I like in a book or a movie. Some love stories here are "Girlfriends Lost," and "The Volunteers." There may be others. Sci Fi alert! Man your battle stations! Or woman them, whatever you want. I have always been interested in astronomy. I get new books almost every year (almanacs), since there are always new discoveries. "The Meddlers," and "Peeps" deal with what might happen if there was virtual travel to nearby stars, which I think will happen. I am continuing to work on Enhanced eBooks, which includes photos or films or music. Here, "The Underground," is perhaps the best example, but there is some enhancement with photos or art in "Famous Fake Books," "Rock Star Diet," and "Girlfriends Lost." The enhancement makes the books harder to edit for publication through the premium catalogue. The typescript gets variable--big--small--different fonts. The conversion process rips away formatting I guess. I am just a simple literary anarchist, working my way up to I don't know what. I just added a new improved version of Rock Star Diet, with more jokes, and photos of my favorite rock stars. Check out my films by searching johnblandly on YouTube. Phantom of the Art Gallery http://www.youtube.com/user/JohnBlandly#p/u/0/XiDzQvtkbcA I reside in the wilderness of the New York frontier. Here are some links to navigate with me! "Abbie," the love story of Frankie and Maisie, who get involved in the drama of Abbie Hoffman's underground life in the Thousand Islands http://www.synergebooks.com/ebook_abbie.html me book of poetry--just jokes in the form of poems http://synergebooks.com/ebook_new&easypoems.html If you've got nothing better to do, you can read my hopefully somewhat accurate poems about the meaning of life. Good luck! Also, please buy a copy of one of my novellas or novelettes from Smashwords. It is said that a prophet is not without honor except in his home town. Based on sales of my books, looks like my home town is--THE WORLD! The young adult novelette, The Volunteers, is based on a number of true stories, or more accurately, harrowing experiences. Girlfriends Lost is completely fictional--I wish! I do not know how to explain it right now except to say, Caesar used to write about himself in the third person, but he had far better adventures. So, enjoy reading "The Death of John Blandly, Continued," included in this novella, and if you can figure it out, let me know, at jjbrearton@aol.com. A novelette that I first published here has now been released as an ebook by Aripublishing.com. It is a surprisingly popular young adult western story. Here's the gigantic link: Ruthy’s New Texas Lawyer Friend, by John Blandly http://www.amazon.com/Ruthys-Texas-Lawyer-Friend-ebook/dp/B004WLOR70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&m=AG56TWVU5XWC2&s=digital-text&qid=1306963354&sr=1-1 Some of the covers of my books use photos courtesy of Freedigitalphotos.net. http://twitter.com/blandly |

Now living in Western Australia, she is completing the Forbidden Magic series. She spends much time playing her Irish ‘high-headed’ harp both for the inspiration it gives her and for the beauty of its voice. She is passionate about reviving Celtic tradition, especially in the areas of healing and the arts. |

Additional the part that is 'noboru' is read as 'to publish' in Chinese, so it made sense for me to use it as a self-published author. Other than writing or doodling away, I've found myself strumming away at ukuleles- I highly recommend getting an uke.
