	Author bio: First and foremost I am a story teller. A weaver of tales you might say. You will find my story telling to cross many genres. I can't help it. An idea will pop into my head and then grow. I do not control the ideas genres, nor do I control the stories unfolding. Why do I tell stories? Well mainly to shut the characters up. They do not stop whispering in my head until their story is told. Oh, also you the reader. Yes, I have to admit that I tell stories for your entertainment. My characters depending on genre and what they are doing will try to make you laugh, cry, hold your breath, bring you to the front of your seat, and so on. They want to entertain you. So on behalf of all the whispering people in my head I hope you enjoy the ride of what ever story you choose to read.

	Uncle Flynn	by Simon Dillon Jan. 05, 2011	Free!	72800 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: Simon Dillon was born the year Steven Spielberg made moviegoers everywhere terrified of sharks, namely 1975. He lived the first twenty or so years of his life in Oxford, and was pleased to have spent so much time in the place where some of his favourite writers wrote their greatest works (including JRR Tolkien, CS Lewis and Phillip Pullman). Things went gradually downhill from there as he attended University in Southampton and afterwards managed to muddle his way into television where he has worked ever since. Simon Dillon likes to think he can write a diverting story, and as a result has penned a few novels. He might be sadly deluded, but that’s for agents and publishers to decide. He currently lives in Plymouth in the UK, and is married with two children. He is looking forward to brainwashing them with the same books that he loved growing up.

For the next 11 years, they fought constantly, creating an unhealthy environment that adversely affected Waln emotionally and behaviorally. Rejected by his father for "ruining his life," and confused by his mother's obsessive-compulsive disorder of washing him in her "crazy clean" solution of Lysol and ammonia, Waln began a pattern of acting out that led to placement in an orphanage, juvenile detention home, state psychiatric hospital and juvenile reform school. A terrible student who spent eighth grade in special education and failed the ninth grade, Waln earned an A.S. degree from York College of Pennsylvania, B.S. from the Pennsylvania State University (summa cum laude) and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania.

	Reggie Rocketship and His Boom Boom Pow Galaxy of Secrets	by Ben Campbell Jan. 05, 2011	$0.99	60506 words	Sample 10%
	Author bio: What renders humanity great is the never ending sense of possibilities, and the unlimited sense of survival. Upon my first excursion to Europe I told myself not to fear the unexpected or I'd be locked in time, so, I'd discovered a balance that separated the empty space of insanity and the wasted time of sanity. My only possessions were time and imagination after I'd found that balance, and now I own the ever expansive sense of possibilities and the thrilling balance of survival. :) Citizens in villages and towns and cities in 15 European countries welcomed me as one of their own. I'd met hundreds of motivated individuals while traveling. Folks that were contagion and svelte, everyday people that were recklessly engaging and wildly dramatic interested me. One day I'd include many of my new friends in my stories. After extensive travels, I've been busy writing tough reality-fiction splashed with urban, ubiquitous, multi-layered adventures, all the while developing plots and characters that have guts and stamina, witticisms and strengths, conviction and unquenchable passion to live exciting as well as productive lives. My novels singe with investigative reporting, strident photography and sharp realism. My Monterey, California dig is where I've authored six adventure novels. I'm currently researching and writing two more novels with locations in Washington DC and San Francisco, where lines between reality & fiction are seamless. I'm also penning an erotica story as a sideline. Please enjoy reading all my novels. Give them to friends and relatives as everyday gifts. Thank you for visiting my smashwords.com site and pass on this information. All six novels are available as eBooks here for $2.99 or less, and all six are optioned as paperback edition through amazon.com

	Grandpa Pat's Little Animal Tales	by Patrick W. Rosseter Jan. 03, 2011	$6.99	10142 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Do some animal’s think and act like people? According to Rosseter, the answer is yes — animals have thoughts and feelings just as you do. As any child with a pet will tell you, there is a bond of compassion that exists between them. Reading these stories will help you understand why animals have a place in this world. Parents, read these stories with your children. I'm sure Dr. Woo would approve. Wait! Who's Dr. Woo? Start with the first story and become acquainted with him. He'll introduce you to a new way of looking at the world. Born in 1926 and reared in Chicago, Patrick W. Rosseter became a journeyman printer-typesetter, following his father's footsteps, after coming home from the Army Air Corps. He's been married for 51 years — his anniversary is on Valentine's Day. He has fathered three sons and a daughter and is the greatest “Grampa” to four illustrious grandsons, without whose encouragement these stories would never have came to be. Mr. Rosseter's only hobbies (pursuits) are reading and working out with the weights — when he can. He is a Michigan Senior Olympic Champion for the years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. No mere feat for an “ole guy!”

	Riders on the Rez	by Jan Lofton Jan. 02, 2011	Free!	6513 words	Read a sample
	Author bio: It was 2006 (or maybe it was 2007) when some irrelevant-to-this-story-things happened and I came to know myself as a writer. Not a writer as I had been: a proposal writer,technical writer, academic writer, but in the far more freeing sense of writing for my own enjoyment. Judging by the children's books I wrote then my newly born inner author had a very happy childhood. As I crafted my small worlds I was reminded again of a mental image that I had carried with me for years, of the woman who sits at the loom that stands at the gate between the worlds, perpetually weaving this one into existence. My Native American friends told me she was Spider Woman in their cultural myths, keeping us all entranced with the very never-endingness of her creations. When I began to think about a modern retelling of this myth, I thought it should be told as a girl's story, but Billy Tsosie, the hero of RIDERS ON THE REZ, took charge of the narrative right away and sent me off on a research quest to learn about Navajo language and customs. Billy has grown up now, and is in pre-med at the University of Arizona (life moves much faster in fiction than in the flesh)and I have moved on to other stories and styles. I look forward to introducing them here on Smashwords as they are ready to be shared,

	Quinton's Reading Rainbow	by Philip Wooldridge Jan. 01, 2011	$0.99	3188 words	Sample 50%
	Author bio: My life's been an interesting journey, to say the least. I was raised in the central Texas area, and upon completing high school, served in the military for over five years. After that, I attended Panola College and the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, graduating with a degree in Social Work in 1997. Since then, I've worked various jobs in the field, and have recently settled with my wife in Northeast Michigan. Sometimes a complete change is just what the doctor ordered. Recently, I've done away with my pen name of Wilson Kasa and have decided to re-publish my short stories under my real name. My stories come from a mix of what is probably an overactive imagination and real life experiences. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did writing them. All the best, Philip

	Beach Potato	by Sarah Riley Dec. 29, 2010	$2.99	57102 words	Sample 15%
	Author bio: After studying at University Sarah became a nanny on the island of Corfu in Greece. The three children she looked after for two years changed her life and inspired her to write her first children’s novel. However, when she returned to her home in the UK her writing took a back seat as she concentrated on her business career. A trip to southern India to support the coastal areas damaged by the 2004 Tsunami resulted in her making many life changing decisions, which allowed her desire to write to re-surface. She now lives with her husband Roy in North Devon overlooking the sea and loves nothing more than spending the day at the beach in their old Mercedes campervan, surfing and playing with her two daughters Daisy and Poppy. Besides writing, Sarah’s favourite things include her Custard Point surfboard, chocolate, skimming pebbles, sunshine and sandy feet.
