Author bio: Ann Victoria Roberts is the author of five historical novels, including The Master's Tale, published in September 2011. She is married to Captain Peter Roberts, Master of the Heritage Steamship SS Shieldhall, based in Southampton. Ann was born in York, educated at Prince Henryâ€™s Grammar School, Otley, and met her husband Peter while still at school. She went on to study art while he went away to sea in the Merchant Navy, so their romance was conducted mainly by letter. They married, lived in Otley, West Yorkshire, for 15 years. They had two children, and travelled extensively as a family while the children were still young. A long chain of coincidence accompanied the research and writing of Louisa Elliott, published in 1989 by Chatto&Windus. This big, rich, Victorian novel of life in 1890s York was very successful, and Ann found fame as 'the housewife who became a best-selling novelist'. Ann also published Liam's Story, Dagger Lane and Moon Rising. Then, in 2000, Ann and her husband moved to Southampton. Ann found herself writing mainly non-fiction until the day Peter came home from a visit to the Southampton Pilotsâ€™ Office, and told her that heâ€™d just been looking at the Dockmasterâ€™s Log Book for the year 1912, and its extraordinary implications. The news was so exciting that Ann asked if she could take a look herself. What she saw and understood from those entries for March and April 1912 became the inspiration for her latest novel, The Master's Tale, published in September 2011. More details about Ann Victoria Roberts can be found on her website: www.annvictoriaroberts.co.uk

Chimpanzees in Dungarees (Illustrated)	by Chris Whitfield Feb. 06, 2012	Free!	43717 words	Read a sample
Babies Called Keith, Shellsuits, Reliant Robins, Tripe, No Smoking Areas, Knitting, Streetwise Dogs, The Deferential Working Class... Chimpanzees in Dungarees has more than ninety such disappearing things. Part satire, part nostalgia, part autobiography, part social commentary, this book has been written with one sole objective. To take the proverbial and have a laugh. Or is that two objectives?
Author bio: I am an accountant with a sense of humour, which most people consider a contradiction. I live in the UK on the Wirral with my wife and two bitches. That's a Border Terrier and a Cockapoo, in case you're thinking I'm living the life of an African tribe leader who believes he's a gangsta rapper. I have three grown up children but have never quite managed to grow up myself. At the age of eighteen, I was often mistaken for pop idol, Donny Osmond. Nearly four decades on and ravaged by time, the best I can now do in the look-a-like stakes is Richard Osman from BBC TV's Pointless. Osmond to Osman, how the mighty fall. Chimpanzees in Dungarees is my first published book. I can imagine there's already more than a few, hoping it's the last.

Author bio: I'm a female writer and I live in the United Kingdom. Iâ€™m a staunch supporter of GLBTQ Rights and Marriage Equality. Love is an important aspect of the human experience and its free expression should not be denied to anyone. No one should be made to feel guilty or tormented simply for being in love or for being who they were created to be. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ If you're looking for a complex thriller, hardcore, heavily sexualised erotica, gritty gay realism, typical BDSM leather scenarios, a horror trip or a gory murder mystery then you've come to the wrong place. So, what the heck DO I write? In a nutshell - sweet, sassy, sensual gay discipline fiction ~ stories with a D/s twist More details: I don't write vanilla romance, classic spanking erotica or BDSM. My stories incorporate elements from all those mediums, but essentially belong to a sub group of romance/power exchange fiction often referred to as discipline romance fiction or discipline partnership fiction. Not everyone understands or 'gets' discipline fiction and that's fine. I don't 'get' prawn cocktail flavour crisps, but I uphold the right of people to eat them should their taste buds be wired that way. In discipline fiction the spanking scenes are not there to serve as a precursor to a sex scene. They illustrate the consensual submission of one partner to the authority of the other. It's a form of power exchange. I tend not to write the kind of stories usually associated with the romance genre. The kind where A meets B and they have some adventures/misunderstandings/ but eventually get together. The bulk of my stories tend to involve already established couples. It's just the way I like to write. While sex is certainly an aspect of my fiction it isn't the main focal point, so if you think of and enjoy M/M stories only in terms of heat level and detailed sex scenes then my fic probably won't be to yout taste. I tend to focus more on the emotional side of things and of course the discipline aspect. As well as being the vehicle by which I express my interest in discipline practices, my stories are about everyday relationships, situations, affection and love. They're quirky, warm hearted and sensitive with a liberal sprinkling of offbeat humor. They're entertaining, sometimes thought provoking and always observant of the human condition. Iâ€™ve been writing in this genre for over ten years. I have many theories as to why Iâ€™m drawn so strongly to this type of fiction. Perhaps it allows me to express aspects of my personality that would otherwise remain repressed. None of it really matters, I write what I like to write and that's it. :) ~I also write a series called 'The Stardust Diaries' under the name Tarn Swan.

The pen name â€œLord Koga,â€ has been shortened over the years from its original name Lord Kogarasumaru. The origins of the name Kogarasumaru â€œLittle Crowâ€ is derive from a unique Japanese tachi sword rumored to have been created by legendary Japanese smith Amakuni during 8th century CE. The â€œlittle Crowâ€ is considered to be unique as it is a bridge between the old double edge blades of Japan and the more modern version which eventually became known as Katana. Thus, the author that writes under this shortened pen name, desired to use it as a way to describe his writing style as a bit of old school mixed with new techniques. In some ways, considering the Genre in which he writes, it makes some since in the oddity of things, but as this is Veenstra Publishing, we love the oddity of authors, too out there for mainstream publishing to comprehend. Currently Lord Koga has over 68 titles out in e-book format and 4 titles in both print and ebook format. Lord Kogaâ€™s printed works include: Knights of Came-a-lot: The Fall of Acheron; Beyond their Control: Erotic Tales of Cheating Wives & the Man the Desired Them All; The Virgin Chronicles: A Beyond their Control Erotic Series; Dare to be Ravished: Beyond Her Control Erotic Series Currently Lord Koga has 15 titles listed on the best sellers list/top rated list in both action/adventure, Teen, and Lesbian subcategories on the All Romance E-book website.
Hurting Elena	by Harland Sinclair Feb. 06, 2012	Free!	4845 words	Read a sample
She came to him in the middle of the night and took him to a level of pleasure heâ€™d never before experienced.
Author bio: By any standards, I have lead an extraordinary life. Not so much through choice, but by sheer coincidence. I always just seem to be in the right place at the wrong time, or vice versa. My friends all say, â€œYou should write a book!â€ I thought about doing that, but then realized that the only parts anyone would really be interested in would be . . . yeah, the sex and the erotica and the weird. So, I decided to compile a series of stories about some of my sexual exploits. Some were planned, but most were not. I have also tried to keep them in date order, so if you notice any discrepancies, I apologize in advance. These stories are all based on fact. Over the years I have just forgotten some of the minor details such as clothes, eye, hair colours and exact words spoken. But the stories themselves - believe it or not - really are true, however incredible they may seem. Some guys have all the luck. Or not, as the case may be. And thereâ€™s been a few of them, I can tell you! A shotgun up the nose really concentrates the mind! I hope you enjoy reading along as I take you through some of the strange things and interesting women I have encountered along the way in my life. At least those I remember. I shall not reveal my true identity in order to protect those who are still living, but if you recognize yourself in any of my stories . . . thanks. Or, as the case may be . . . sorry! Just so you know, I am an average white male, entrepreneur, self-sufficient, college educated and have travelled quite extensively. My â€˜accoutrementsâ€™ are slightly above average and I have never, ever, cheated on a woman, or been with more than one woman at the same time (other than by request and consent). These stories all took place while I was carefree and single. I have a few favourites, and perhaps over time you would like to share with me which instances you would have liked to have found yourself in, or ones that you particularly enjoyed. Incidentally, these are all heterosexual encounters, though sometimes with more than one woman. Again, often not through choice, but chance. If my spelling and grammar and not up to scratch, skip over it; theyâ€™re just stories, not novels or medical books. Some donâ€™t really have a story other than being a description of what actually happened, which is what makes them interesting. So please donâ€™t leave comments such as â€œthere wasnâ€™t much of a storyâ€ or there was â€œno character developmentâ€, etc. Of course there isnâ€™t - theyâ€™re just real-life stories intended for you to read when you have nothing better to do. Such as when youâ€™ve been a complete dick and pissed off your woman and are now sleeping on the couch â€“ again! Some are funny, some are sad, and some are just downright weird and have no particular story. I just hope they make for an interesting read. Recipes arenâ€™t exciting, but we enjoy the results. Some will be quite short, perhaps only a page or two, but Iâ€™m not trying to get them into the Premium Catalogue â€“ theyâ€™ll stay on Smashwords and my website only. I also make no apologies for the language used. If youâ€™re easily offended by coarse, hard-hitting language and descriptions, my stories are probably not for you. I call a spade a spade. If you prefer â€˜shovelâ€™, I donâ€™t give a shit. Some women may not like the way I refer to their bodies or the language I use, but thatâ€™s just the way it is. Some donâ€™t mind and actually like it, others freak out. If youâ€™re a freaker, close the story and move on. If you donâ€™t mind, read on and kudos to you! Also, I am British (Scottish), so readers other than Brits may be confused by some of my terminology and turn of phrase. Iâ€™ll try to keep the language universal, but thatâ€™s not always possible as it may kill the gist of the story. If you donâ€™t â€˜get itâ€™, donâ€™t worry. Try another one. Or as we Brits would say, â€œSuck it and see!â€ (try it) Remember: No one ever lay on their death bed thinking, â€œI wish I hadnâ€™t fucked so many women.â€ A word of warning: I am not advocating sexual promiscuity. Sexual diseases are very real. Whatever you do, PRACTISE SAFE SEX! But most of all, the next time you are with a woman, make love to her as if she were the last woman on earth and itâ€™s your last shot. Youâ€™ll thank me for it later. And so will she. Give her all youâ€™ve got and sheâ€™ll take you to paradise and back â€“ trust me on this one. Been there, done that, keep going back. I have a season ticket . . .

Author bio: Hi there. My name is Robert Hendry, and over the past 30 years, I have 26 published Non-Fiction books in paper form. I recently decided I would like to branch out into the Fiction field, initially with a subject I have studied for a similar length of time, the Soviet Union. During that time I got to know a good deal about Soviet military hardware and operational doctrine, and after the break up of the USSR, it was interesting to actually see at first hand the stuff I had studied at a distance.Seeing a Termit Surface to surface missile fired for real beats any number of photos! The majority o COl War Era novels have a Western hero and Soviet baddies. In the 1980s, as the Brezhnev era ground to a stand, various factions view for power, and my novels have brought in a limited CIA or MI6 involvement, but the main action is between good guys and bad guys in the USSR. The First Novel to be relesed on Smashwords is "To Kill Our WOrthy Comrade", which covers a plot to assassinate the General Secretary at his dacha in the Crimea in 1981. The real 1991 plot took place at the replacement dacha just a few kilometres along the coast. The novel introduces the C-in-C of the Black Sea FLeet, Admiral Petrov who is drawn into the fight to defeat the plotters and a 19 year old girl communications rating, Lidiya. She is one of those girls who just seem to attract trouble, as you will discover in the Lidiya Petrova Series No 2 and No 3. I managed to get No 2, The Admiral's Woman on line, and if you felt that Lidiya had a pretty easy time in No 1, and landed on her feet, you will fidcover that things get a bit more hectic for the lovely Lidiya in "The Admiral's Woman". As you will have gathered I have these two very different publishing careers and I have thoroughly enjoyed both of them. As a historian, I have to rely on available sources, and imagination is not on. As a novelist, it is important to get facts right but after that the more imaginative and original the storyline the better. All the Best RObert H

Author bio: J. Daniel Sawyer is a hat-wearing, obsessive-compulsive autodidact attempting to write his way out of the loony bin. A self-aggrandizing science fiction and fantasy author who publishes lurid stories and, worse, the occasional popular philosophy article, he is also a very minor authority on Open Source media production (a topic on which he is, unfortunately, published regularly in LinuxJournal). In addition to his wanton abuse of the printed word, he unscrupulously uses his decade-long experience as an audio and video producer with his painfully florid and gritty writing style to create deeply immersive audio universes. This habit, which he indulges in public, has garnered him seven Parsec nominations and helped him make his first professional fiction and philosophy sales (a trend which, for the good of the world at large, we can only hope abates soon). Meanwhile, his growing, rabid fan-base is currently plotting to imprison him and force him to produce endless new literary abominations for their amusement. We can only hope they succeed. Should you be so inclined, you can communicate with this shady character, as well as find podcasts, articles, and other literary abominations at http://www.jdsawyer.net
