I have won or placed in several local short story contests, and most recently, two of my chapter submissions for an Astoria, Oregon newspaper murder-mystery serial were selected.

Chimpanzees in Dungarees (Illustrated)	by Chris Whitfield Feb. 06, 2012	Free!	43712 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.
THE FAT BAG stuck between a rock cake & a hard plaice	by Pearl Barley Feb. 05, 2012	$2.99	40461 words	Sample 15%
Have you ever fought and lost the battle of the bulge? Have you ever gone to 'pinch-an-inch' and found yourself with a generous handful? If so you will quickly relate to this individual who's only wish is to lose the weight...and keep it off! After 25 years of yo-yo dieting, it's never been a walk in the park. Roll your eyes or roll on the floor laughing at the moans, groans, puns and cliches.
Author bio: I never intended to be an author - it kind of happened by accident. I've always kept diaries since my teens (many years ago) and ended up with a collection of true stories about life but mainly food, dieting efforts, relationships, clothes shopping, shoes and chocolate - the usual type of women's issues, many of which, in particular, were pertinent to my current book, THE FAT BAG stuck between a rock cake & a hard plaice (I simply love the play on words). When this book came together, on advice from friends, I decided to publish it and writing became a worthy and enjoyable pastime. The title of the book has a double-meaning, which all gets explained at the end. I've continued the story by writing a sequel to THE FAT BAG which should be complete and published by early spring.

He makes you laugh, he makes you wonder, but most of all, he makes you think.
Author bio: Edward Hotspur is a world-famous author and witticist. The world just doesnâ€™t know it yet.

Or possibly insane, though the two are not mutually exclusive. He loves sarcasm, cynicism, wittiness, one-liners, awful puns, music, cooking and left-handed salads. He adores referring to himself in the third person. He had no help whatsoever writing this bio.

The Meaning of Life (and AIDS Jokes)	by Tom Z Jan. 31, 2012	$0.99	53668 words	Sample 20%
The Meaning of Life (and AIDS Jokes) is a collection of essays that cover a wide range of subjects, including pop culture, society, politics, rock â€˜n roll, life, crazy theories, and most importantly, inappropriate jokes.
Author bio: Tom Z was born in Boston, but he grew up in Syracuse, NY. It worked out well because with his slow Upstate drawl he can say inappropriate things and people will laugh, whereas with a Boston accent he'd sound like a total dick. When he graduated high school, there was a thunderous applause, not because anyone cared about him, but because his name starts with a Z, so he was last and everyone was glad the boring ceremony was over. Tomâ€™s interests include '90s rock, mesh shorts, hot dogs, sleep, flannel shirts, the Buffalo Bills, getting drunk on Sundays, unironically listening to R. Kelly, and most importantly, writing. OK, that's a lie, writing is like 9th on that list. It's WAY behind Sunday Funday. His dislikes include grocery shopping, the band Aerosmith and any show on the Bravo channel. Tom lives his life by one simple motto: "Maximum results with minimal effort." He's willing to put in the work to achieve his goals, but he'd prefer those goals fall into his lap without any effort. He currently lives in Connecticut and has an Asian girlfriend, which he believes entitles him to make all the racist jokes he wants. He insults her driving, but she took his soul, so they're even. That's about it. Oh, and also, this one time he went out to the bar wearing 8 popped collars. It was pretty funny.

Life Stories of a Secondary Parent	by Max Ryan Jan. 29, 2012	$0.99	42402 words	Sample 50%
Max's wife left him and took his son with her. He did not know when he'd see his son again. His lawyer said to be patient. Distraught and not sure how to go on, Max went to his family doctor who passed on his secret for getting through a tough time; forget about the stress of today and concentrate on funny, happy times of the past. One story per day. This book is the compilation of those stories
Author bio: Max Ryan grew up in Port Perry and graduated from Mechanical Engineering at the University of Western Ontario (UWO) in London, Ontario. Soon after graduating he took up a position with an engineering firm that did work at the Pickering Nuclear Generating Station (PNGS). It was while working there that he met many American contractors who specialized in nuclear contract work within North America. These men and women jokingly called themselves Nuclear Whores and the website in which they found work was called www.RoadWhore.com. According to the online 'Urban Dictionary', a Road Whore is defined as: "A temporary worker from out of town. In engineering and construction, road whores seek out and find massive bonuses, high pay rates, hazardous duty pay, per diem, housing allowances and any form of premium remuneration". Max's new friends taught him the ways of the contractor and he soon began a life as a nuclear contract engineer, moving from project to project around Ontario. After almost fifteen years of this life, Max has recently decided to put down roots, agreeing to a long term position within an engineering organization doing work in the Canadian Nuclear Industry. SECONDARY PARENT Soon after beginning his life as a nuclear contract worker, Max met and fell in love with a news journalist while doing improvisation at Second City in Toronto. Three years later they got married. A year after that they gave birth to their son Ty. Unfortunately their love was short-lived. It ended two years into their marriage while living in Kincardine, Ontario while Max was working under contract at the Bruce Nuclear Facility and she was home with Ty. She packed everything including Ty and moved to Oakville leaving Max in Kincardine, all alone. Like many parents who suddenly find themselves in this position, Max was surprised when told he was not an equal parent of 1 year old Ty, but was what his divorce lawyer referred to as a "Secondary Parent". As such, Max was not allowed to talk to Ty whenever he wanted or to see him whenever he wanted. Max had to fight to see his own son, and this took time. Without Ty in his daily life, Max couldn't eat, sleep or work. He was absolutely devastated. After a few days, he went to his family physician who was immediately concerned for Max's well being. This country doctor suggested a personal remedy of his for overcoming difficult times; he told Max to concentrate all his thoughts away from the negativity of the present to the funny, happy stories of his past. He suggested Max try to relive these memories, by recollecting them through painting, writing, songs, etc... So, Max wrote. Each day, Max concentrated on one funny, true story from his past. He would think about it for hours at a time, sometimes all day, and then would write it down. It took 40 days for Max's lawyer to get visitation permission for Max to visit Ty in Oakville and in that time he wrote over 30 stories. Max's book, "Max Ryan: Nuclear Whore" and other Life Stories of a Secondary Parent, is the compilation of those funny, true stories, plus a few more that have happened along the way.

Author bio: Born and raised in the Portland, Oregon Metropolitan area, Shauna spent her early working years in banking as an Accountant and Human Resource Manager. Listening to the vivid stories of her co-workers and the continual drama surrounding their lives, Shauna got the idea to write about her own crazy surroundings and to highlight that "LIFE IS FUNNY!" Shauna is happily married to an Army Major and Portland Police Officer (which lots of good stuff comes from him) and has a 12-year old son (and even more good stuff comes from him). Shauna studied accounting and creative writing at Arizona State University and graduated in 1990. Even though she dove into accounting for 18 years, she could not escape the allure of storytelling and jumped-ship from number crunching & Excel spreadsheets and began writing & making people laugh. Once she began typing, she never stopped.
