Looking for the Perfect Beat | by Steven Hager Jan. 28, 2012 | $2.99 | 17585 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I'm a writer, journalist, filmmaker, event producer and counterculture and cannabis activist. I was the first journalist to travel to the South Bronx and document the origins of hip hop. In 1988, I was hired as editor of High Times magazine. I created the Cannabis Cup, a cannabis awards ceremony held every Thanksgiving in Amsterdam, and The Freedom Fighters, the first hemp legalization group. I also created a garage-rock revival band called the Soul Assassins. In 2002 I directed the video shoot that was later released as Live in Amsterdam (Fishbone album). In 2004, I wrote most of the narration for a/k/a Tommy Chong and also appear in the film. My most recent hardback book, The Octopus Conspiracy and Other Vignettes of the Counterculture, was published by Trine Day. All my ebooks are available exclusively through smashwords. I also regularly appear at college campuses, sometimes solo, but usually as part of a debate on the legalization of cannabis, alongside former New York City D.E.A. chief Robert Stutman. The event, known as "Heads versus Feds," began in 2001 and has visited more than 200 colleges in ten years, regularly drawing standing-room crowds. Bob and I are known as "The Ultimate Odd Couple," and have become close friends despite the cultural gap between us. The debate is booked by Wolfman Productions in Connecticut. |

Sow and You Shall Reap | by B.P. SMYTHE Jan. 20, 2012 | $0.99 | 99442 words | Sample 25% |
| Author bio: B.P.Smythe was born in 1946 within a short distance of the world famous Wimbledon All England Tennis Club. Racquet sports became an important part of his boyhood activities while attending the only school around with tennis courts. He later studied engineering at Carshalton College and eventually became a member of the institute of quality assurance. His engineering career took on many roles including technical writer for an artificial limb manufacturer; but he always enjoyed putting pen to paper for creating quality manuals and report writing. As well as playing tennis, B.P.Smythe writes tennis articles for his local county magazine and relaxes reading crime and horror fiction. This, coupled with his technical writing career partly influenced his transition into creative writing. Sow And You Shall Reap, is his first novel although he has submitted numerous short stories for internet competitions, including winning a £100 as first prize for his, 'A Rose Without a Thorn', in the www.spinetinglerspublishing competition and winning for his, 'Wanting To Be Loved', first prize in the short story: http://authorsonshow.com/2011/09/18/contest-entries/ - competition. He also gained second prize last year for his short story entry, 'The Letter', in the London Borough of Sutton Library competition. Sow and You Shall Reap, together with his work-in-progress, 'On Black Monday', a novel in terrorism, reflect his in-depth research of locations and periods as well as black magic and religious organizations.

In seguito ho seguito un corso di economia aziendale, mi sono dedicato alla progettazione di un oggetto brevettuale e ho lavorato per una multinazionale come addetto al montaggio macchine presso un cantiere nella città di Abu Dhabi. Fin da piccolo, la mia passione è sempre stata scrivere romanzi, racconti, sceneggiature; fotografare, realizzare video e scrivere per il cinema. Mi piace l’arte in tutti i sensi e adoro inventare sempre cose nuove. ***** I attended high school in Rimini and I graduated in Mechanical Engineering at University of Bologna; later I took a course in business administration and I dedicated to the design patent of an object, then I worked for a multinational company undertaking the machines at a construction site in Abu Dhabi. since I was child, my passion has always been writing novels, short stories, screenplays; taking photos, make videos and write for cinema. I like every kind of art and I love to create new things every time. |

In Your Dreams: A Stage Play in One Act | by Steven Ayckbourn Dec. 30, 2011 | Free! | 4540 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: My hours are divided between writing plays (occasionally directing them), playing classical guitar, practicing Tai Chi and spending time with family and friends. I enjoy writing because it allows me to become someone else - often many people. I can live their ups and downs, share in their joys and traumas. More importantly not take sides. Otherwise, alone in a quiet room playing a Dowland lute transcription on my classical guitar is something close to spiritual. Information about my other works can be found by visiting my Web site (see link below). Updated: 30 December 2011 |

Phony Collateral | by Rex Bromfield Dec. 27, 2011 | Free! | 23490 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I write serious comedy about things that aren't normally considered to be funny. Before I started writing short stories and novels, I worked in the film industry as a writer/director. My very first feature film, a dark comedy called LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, was Dan Aykroyd's first film. It was invited to FILMEX in Los Angeles in 1977 by The American Film Institute and released in the U.S. by Atlantic Releasing and Paramount Home Video. I directed some other movies, too, including MELANIE starring Glynnis O'Connor, Don Johnson and Paul Sorvino, and CAFE ROMEO starring Jonathan Crombie and Catherine Mary Stewart. I also wrote and directed a black comedy called HOME IS WHERE THE HART IS starring Leslie Nielsen, Martin Mull and Valri Bromfield (sister). In the 90s I ran a software company. We won the Newmedia Invision Award, Newsweek’s Editor’s Choice Award and Parenting Magazine’s Magic Software Award for our musical painting app for preschoolers called "Paint ‘N’ Play". I directed many episodes of television for children. Now I tell seriously strange and funny stories for adults because I think we need them. During my years in the movie business I learned that you cannot put out good ideas, using millions of dollars of someone else's money without protracted, and largely absurd, struggles. I think it was Stanley Kubrick who once said "Making movies is like trying to produce fine music in a furniture factory." I finally walked away from that life of glitter and glamour: getting up at 3:00 AM to shoot my own screenplay in some filthy freezing warehouse under the absentee supervision of a self-medicating executive producer. I elected, instead, to lock myself up to rearrange electrons in such a way that my ideas could go out into the universe where they may be of some more immediate use to real people. Here's my official quote: "I don't think we're going to solve some of the problems of society until we can laugh and are no longer frightened by them." Here's another one: "Hate is fear. Fear is ignorance. Stupidity is insisting on one's own ignorance." |
