The Nude: A Historical Romance | by Dorothy McFalls Jun. 20, 2010 | $3.99 | 101105 words | Sample 45% |
| Author bio: Award-winning author Dorothy McFalls was born in New York but raised in South Carolina. She makes her home on an artsy beach community in South Carolina with her husband, impish dog and fluffy cat. Though writing has always been a passion for her, she pursued an undergraduate degree in Wildlife Biology and a graduate degree in Public Administration and Urban Planning. She then put her educational experience to use, having worked in all branches and all levels of government including local, regional, state, and federal. She even spent time during college working for a non-profit environmental watchdog organization. Switching from government service and community planning to fiction writing wasn't as big of a change as some might think. Her government work was all about the stories of the people and the places where they live. As an urban planner, Dorothy loved telling the stories of the people she met. And from that, her desire to tell the stories that were so alive in her heart grew until she could not ignore it any longer. In 2001, she took a leap of faith and pursued her dream of writing fiction full-time. Now an award-winning multi-published author, Dorothy enjoys writing in several different genres. Her works have been nominated for many awards including: Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice Award, Reviewers International Organization Award, National Reader's Choice Award, CataRomance Reviewers' Choice Award, and The Romance Reviews Today Perfect 10! Award. Reviewers have called her work: "amazing", "perfect", "filled with emotion", and "lined with danger." |

Australian Friends Of Karl May: Winnetou & Old Shatterhand In Tasmania | by Marlies Bugmann Jun. 16, 2010 | Free! | 104550 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Some time in my early twenties, I left Switzerland for a new life in New Zealand. I chose to acquire New Zealand citizenship and am proud to be able to call myself a Kiwi. In 1988, together with my Australian husband, David, I moved to Tasmania and have lived on Australia’s island state ever since. My passion for the rare and threatened Tasmanian fauna and flora inspired a series of illustrated children’s adventure novels set in the picturesque Tasmanian wilderness, titled The Green Heart Books, with: ‘Kangaroo Dog’, ‘Bluegum Christmas’, ‘Tazzie Devil Double Trouble’, ‘Quoll Quandary’, ‘Golden Wings’ and ‘Bat Whispers’. My Bernese Mountain Dog, Bertie, inspired Swiss Tradition In Black And White, a compact work about the history of this Swiss icon, the breed’s development and how to care for a magnificent and loving friend. Visit my website, www.tasmanianartist.com. In 2004 I began the translation of the Karl May novel “Holy Night!”; my translations and research of the work created by the enigmatic author of the nineteenth century continue. My website, Australian Friends of Karl May, www.karl-may-friends.net is a gateway to the world of Karl May in English. Note to authenticity of Karl May's texts: My English-language Karl May books are created from the last published versions that were authorized by Karl May, as available from the public domain. They are authentic, sentence by sentence; and their introductions contain the results of fresh research conducted during the translation process. My English renditions of Karl May’s texts are edited and proofed to the usage and style of international English (with Australian flavour on occasions, since I live in Australia, and just a wee hint of German accent), with particular attention to anachronisms, as well as period-correct flow of dialogue. They incorporate, within the translations, explanatory notes for terms that are specific to culture, era, and technology. Original errors (text-technical or factual) have been corrected, as they should have been by May’s own editors. I do not see the point in inventing an error in English for the sole purpose of capturing an error made more than 100 years ago in another language. I do not support stultifying word-for-word translation mirroring German syntax, and have endeavoured to present an inspired narration that, hopefully, presents May’s lively and often profound tales in their true spirit. Marlies Bugmann, Karl-May Translator |
