To Kill a Judge	by Paul Nelson Sep. 03, 2010	$3.99	83687 words	Sample 10%
Author bio: A baby boomer with two siblings, Paul A. Nelson was born in 1945 in Panama City, Florida. Raised by a loving mother (his father was killed shortly after the author’s sixth birthday) he worked on shrimp and charter fishing boats until joining the Navy at age seventeen. After four nine-month cruises aboard aircraft carriers he resigned with an honorable discharge, married and went into insurance sales and management. A father of two, Mr. Nelson then completed seven years of under-grad and graduate level schooling, and was graduated from Florida State University with a Doctorate in Law. He soon founded his own law firm in Tampa and limited his practice to personal injury with special emphasis on product liability law. Having handled many such cases, several of which received national attention, the author gave up the practice of law and now lives in North Carolina where he writes and works in partnership with his wife Sissy, a World Champion equestrian, at their Equestrian Training Center in Chapel Hill.

The Cricket -Diamonds Are for Never -Part 1	by Jef Holbrook Sep. 03, 2010	$0.99	14 words	Sample 50%
Author bio: Like many good old-scool comics, our characters all exist in the same universe. If you want to know more about the timeline of the Polar Comics Universe, check out the timeline in the "Universe" section of our website: http://polarcomics.com/universe/timeline/ But who are we? Well, there are a few of us, but a lot of this stuff was created by me. I’m Jef. I'm told I don’t promote the “one-man show” angle of the comics enough, so here it is: most of the characters, stories, art, animation, website graphics and so on have been put together by me. It takes a little while, as you can imagine. Now that the obligatory “horn-tooting” is over (please don’t toot your horn in public, you may be arrested), let’s meet our really talented cohorts and collaborators!: Scott B. Smith (great writer), Nelson Pizarro (he created lots of characters for us and helps with plot), Marji Fortin (super talented artist) and Aaron Gotlieb (who seems to create a Y-ME™ character a minute). We have a lot of fun making these books. We even have motion comics available on youtube.com/polarcomics. Thanks for checking us out! -Jef (and company).

WATER and other stories	by Daron Fraley Sep. 03, 2010	Free!	5943 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Daron Fraley was born in Powell, Wyoming, but doesn’t consider himself a cowboy. Living in France for a couple of years provided him the opportunity to hone his cooking skills and to become addicted to good food and chocolate. Apart from his loving family, teaching and writing are his two most favorite things in the world. A classic computer geek, he still likes to fish and camp, makes a mean apple or pumpkin pie from scratch, and once fixed a gas clothes dryer using photocopier parts. With all of his interests in music, art, the sciences, and religion (especially religion), he would have been quite comfortable living during the Renaissance. Having toured chilly castles while in France, he is glad he didn’t live during that time. “The Thorn” is his first novel. After ten total years in the wonderful state of Indiana, Daron, his wife Jennifer, and their six children once again live in the beautiful Rockies, close to friends and family in Wyoming and Utah.

I’ve not looked back since. In the past I’ve tried bartending, teaching junior high, painting houses, being a secret shopper, working construction, and many more jobs; I prefer fiction writing. For my day job, I work as a technical writer at a software company. I live with my wife Elizabeth, our two amazing sons, and Whit the Wonder Pup (a retired racing greyhound) in North Carolina.

Marilyn	by D.B. Story Sep. 03, 2010	$2.99	9916 words	Sample 10%
Author bio: D. B. Story is a writer living in the southwestern United States. While that territory can cover anywhere from New Mexico to Hawaii he declines to be more specific at this time. His use of the time-honored artifice of writing under a pseudonym comes from the necessity to still maintain a day job and the habit of employers to Google new applicants to discover what stupid things said applicant is willing to foolishly do, and then doubly foolishly post for the world to see afterwards. Such invasions of one’s personal life become an unnecessary distraction. D. B. Story has long had interests in both Science Fiction (since first discovering his mother’s secret cache of Ace Doublebooks stashed under her bed) and writing. In fact, anything he has enjoyed participating in he eventually has a desire to create as well. He seriously began writing (although not selling) stories ten years ago due to a dissatisfaction with what he was reading at the time and the belief that he could do it better. He started out with the interaction between humans and the sexy robots they would inevitably create and later branched out to other erotic Fantasy and SF genres. During that time he has written everything from flash fiction to a 402,000 word novel and a screenplay based on his other writings, as yet unsold. Whether his writing is actually “better” he admits he must leave to his readers to decide, but he likes his stuff a lot. He has often said that, “Writing time is always good time.” He also says that with the advent of cheap computers, word processors, eBooks, and the Internet that times have never been better for a diversity of writers to be heard.

Author bio: I have created/written Beau to Beau fictional stories of Male Love with sincerity to inspire gay men to embrace their sexuality and to enjoy their lives to the fullest, as is deservedly theirs to be realized. These stories are affirmations of the lives of gay men, a joyous celebration of the self as an entire person, not solely a gay person, which seems to be a “category” into which gay men have been thrust by the heterosexual community. This gay person categorization has been allotted with great negativity, seemingly to invoke a sense of shame into its inhabitants. Shame is not the gay man’s to be borne. Shame is the lot of the ignorant!~ My books are also available in print at my website - www.beautobeau.com. ~B.K. Wright~ Beau to Beau has a new author, B.J. Scott, who writes very XXX rated erotic gay short stories. They can be found at 1erotic ebooks, 1romance ebooks, and all romance ebooks, with full steamy excerpts on those sites.
