	Ohiowa	by T. Alex Miller Jan. 21, 2009	$4.99	79756 words	Sample 25%
	Author bio: About the author T. Alex Miller is a graduate of the University of Colorado-Boulder creative writing program. His writing career has been spent mostly in community newspapers, although he also worked for a year in Hollywood (in development at the Sci-Fi Channel) and edited a magazine in Los Angeles (LA Family). He is currently the editor of the Summit Daily News, a newspaper in Frisco, CO. In addition to his career in journalism, Miller has been active in theatre as an actor, director and playwrights. His plays have been produced locally as well as in conjunction with the state theatre festival. They include 5 Gears in Reverse, The Adjudicators, Velociraptors and Outrageous Claims. His new novel, Ohiowa, is the culmination of a three-year project to create a larger story about the emotional state of the U.S. Believing that most of the fiction being created today with terrorism as a theme has more to do with the act itself, Miller wanted to explore what happens to ordinary people when terror enters their lives. In so doing, he chose a fictional location with which he is highly familiar – a Colorado mountain town – and situations, characters and settings with which he has firm knowledge. Miller lives in Frisco, Colorado with his wife, Jen, and their many children.

I go there to scuba dive. Melbourne water is cold, and it gets down to 12(C) in winter, so you have to be keen! After a dive we have a coffee and try and warm up. We usually detour along the way, which is how so many of the Peninsula's touristy attractions pop up in the story. I probably could find my way on foot around there, if I had to. Like Sophie.... If you like this book, let me know. I'm halfway through a follow-up, but am more likely to finish it if I know people are waiting! The other stories, like "Travels with Andy" are there as an attractor. If you like the sense of humor you find in these stories, you might like to try The Jetty Journals.

	Author bio: When I write for work, its technical stuff. The Jetty Journals book is for fun, for my enjoyment, and for people who like a ripping yarn that rattles along...a good page-turner. If you liked "Day of the Triffids", or zombie DVD "28 Days Later", or John Marsden's "Tomorrow" series, I think you'll like this story. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I often go to Mornington Peninsula, where "The Jetty Journals" is set. On The Jetty Journals web site(http://www.thejettyjournals.com) you can see a map and some of the places mentioned in the book. I go there to scuba dive. Melbourne water is cold, and it gets down to 12(C) in winter, so you have to be keen! After a dive we have a coffee and try and warm up. We usually detour along the way, which is how so many of the Peninsula's touristy attractions pop up in the story. I probably could find my way on foot around there, if I had to. Like Sophie.... If you like this book, let me know. I'm halfway through a follow-up, but am more likely to finish it if I know people are waiting! The other stories, like "Travels with Andy" are there as an attractor. If you like the sense of humor you find in these stories, you might like to try The Jetty Journals.

	The Misadventures of Russell Quigley	by David Griffiths Jul. 04, 2009	$4.99	89329 words	Sample 30%
	Author bio: My naval career spanned 32 years and 5 months, during which, I photographed presidents, astronauts, pilots, ships, planes, events, and lots of people doing lots of things. I became addicted to being where the action is. I attended: • Basic Photography School in 1954, • Advanced Photography in 1966, • Photographic Statistical and Chemical Quality Control School in 1970, • Motion Picture School in 1977, • Photographic Equipment Repair School in 1978, and • The Robin Perry Creative Color Workshop in 1985 My favorite medal is the Humanitarian Medal, which I earned during the evacuation of Saigon. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Occupational Education with an emphasis in photography from Southern Illinois University just before retiring from the Navy. I used the “G.I. Bill” to obtain a Master’s in Vocational Education, and went to work for the Chief of Naval Education and Training as an Instructional Systems Specialist. For the next fifteen years, I developed Training Task Inventories, monitored contracts for computer-based training, and assisted chief and senior chief petty officers in developing nonresident training courses. It was a privilege to work with men and women of their caliber. A while back I wrote, “The Misadventures of Russell Quigley,” a hilarious collection of sea stories woven into the fabric of Russell’s life as a Navy photographer. The stories were easy to write because they were inspired by true events. I believe my stories ended in 1977 when I met and married Perla Lumawig Mogol, who promptly put out the fires and calmly went about the business of teaching me how to forgive, how to love, and how to put first things first.

	Fried Green Zombies	by John Allen Jul. 21, 2009	$2.99	94896 words	Sample 50%
	Author bio: John Allen works in advertising as the Marketing and Creative Director at a television station on the Gulf Coast and has direct experience working with brainless zombies as both clients (former, of course...in past jobs...) and advertising executives. He grew up in rural Bovina, Mississippi, a town that actually had its own dirty county Sheriff (who served time in the Federal Penitentary for lying under oath), and spent most of his free time as a child climbing trees and fighting off imaginary zombies with childhood friends. When not convincing clients that their little son or daughter (much goofier looking than they realize) talking through missing teeth does not make an effective advertisement, he spends most of his free time with his two children (full of life) and his wife, another zombie because sleepless ten-month-olds have their own unique way of turning one's brain to mush.
