| Storm In A Teacup | by Fabian Black Aug. 09, 2011 | $3.99 | 16275 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I'm a female writer and I live in the United Kingdom. I’m a staunch supporter of GLBTQ Rights and Marriage Equality. Love is an important aspect of the human experience and its free expression should not be denied to anyone. No one should be made to feel guilty or tormented simply for being in love or for being who they were created to be. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ If you're looking for a complex thriller, hardcore, heavily sexualised erotica, gritty gay realism, typical BDSM leather scenarios, a horror trip or a gory murder mystery then you've come to the wrong place. So, what the heck DO I write? In a nutshell - sassy, sensual gay discipline fiction ~ stories with a D/s twist More details: I don't write vanilla romance, classic spanking erotica or BDSM. My stories incorporate elements from all those mediums, but essentially belong to a sub group of romance/power exchange fiction often referred to as discipline romance fiction or discipline partnership fiction. Not everyone understands or 'gets' discipline fiction and that's fine. I don't 'get' prawn cocktail flavour crisps, but I uphold the right of people to eat them should their taste buds be wired that way. In discipline fiction the spanking scenes are not there to serve as a precursor to a sex scene. They illustrate the consensual submission of one partner to the authority of the other. It's a form of power exchange. While sex is certainly an aspect of my fiction it isn't the main focal point, so if you think of and enjoy M/M stories only in terms of heat level and detailed sex scenes then my fic probably won't be to yout taste. I tend to focus more on the emotional side of things and of course the discipline aspect. As well as being the vehicle by which I express my interest in discipline practices, my stories are about everyday relationships, situations, affection and love. They're quirky, warm hearted and sensitive with a liberal sprinkling of offbeat humor. They're entertaining, sometimes thought provoking and always observant of the human condition. I’ve been writing in this genre for over ten years. I have many theories as to why I’m drawn so strongly to this type of fiction. Perhaps it allows me to express aspects of my personality that would otherwise remain repressed. None of it really matters, I write what I like to write and that's it. :) ~I also write a series called 'The Stardust Diaries' under the name Tarn Swan. Find Tarn and Twinkles here on Smashwords or again visit my web page for more information.~ |

| Voyage East | by Tom Williams Aug. 01, 2011 | Free! | 8489 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Tom Williams' writing career started at about the age of 10, when he won a book in a national competition organized by a tea company. But, despite the student magazine publishing a piece of his at Oxford, there was no serious creative writing for decades after that. Instead, he wrote books for business covering everything from the gambling industry to new developments in printing technology. It was on a trip to Sarawak, visiting Dyak longhouses, that Tom discovered James Brooke and he spent far too much time in libraries over the next few years until he felt that he had some understanding of the man. He also started collecting South East Asian weapons and now knows an unhealthy amount about how to behead someone with a parang. These interests combined to produce 'The White Rajah'. Tom lives in London. His main interest is avoiding doing any honest work and this leaves him with time to ski, skate and dance the tango, all of which he does quite well. He is also working on another novel, again a historical story but this time set in Argentina during the Napoleonic wars. |

| Author bio: Eldot, a simple cipher, is a nom de plume. Eldot is retired, and has lived in the Pacific Northwest for most of his life. Mother Nature has been kind to him in most respects, but he has lots of grey hair and a modest pot belly. The illusion in his mind that he is still in his thirties persists—if only his carcass would cooperate. But his physician happily reports that physically he is fifteen years younger than the calendar reports, so there’s still time for play. In order to dodge the draft and avoid the Viet Nam war, he took an occupational deferment to teach Drama and English in a public high school. The interminable nature of the war and the draft lottery kept him in that occupation so long that he stayed there afterward, having been quite successful. Why change a good thing? The refuge had morphed into a career. Additional information is available at http://www.diphra.com or http://www.littlejandroger.com |

I was born and raised in Scotland and read languages at St Andrews University, before going on to train and practice social work in both England and Scotland. My interest in writing was long standing and for several years, Orkney was the beautiful location where I was lucky enough to live and focus on my ambition. I now live in a lovely and tranquil village in central Scotland. I hope you will enjoy my novels and if you would like to contact me to comment on them, please feel free to do so. |

| An East Wind Blowing | by Mel Keegan July 30, 2011 | $10.99 | 121599 words | Sample 10% |
| Author bio: A self-confessed science fiction and fantasy devotee, Mel Keegan is known for novels across a wide range of subjects, from the historical to the future action-adventure ... but certainly MK is best known for the NARC series, featuring iconic characters Jarrat and Stone. Mel lives in South Australia with an eccentric family. From 1989 to 2001, GMP Ltd. in the UK issued the Keegan titles, and released eight original novels plus numerous reprints. In 1999, GMP was bought out -- twice! -- and the final owner of the old company was a magazine publisher (Millivres Publishing Group) which had, essentially, no interest in contintuing the old paperback list. In short order the editorial staff was laid off and the writers were set free... You'd be surprised at the writers who were suddenly adrift without anchor or rudder! Keegan, Josh Lanyon, David Patrick Beavers, Chris Hunt, and others. Some of us have clawed our way back and are rebuilding careers which were badly damaged by the demise of GMP. Regrettably, others have vanished.

| The Vampire's Boy | by Theda Black July 29, 2011 | $2.99 | 36514 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I'm Theda Black, and I write emotional, angst-ridden stories about men in love with other men. I like passionate events and no safety nets, and that means I don't always want the reader to be certain that everything will be okay in the end. I like to put my characters through the wringer, exploring their limits, and I like to write them as falling so hard for someone they have a hard time dealing with the impact on their emotions because of it. Sometimes I put my characters in dark places. To quote Sandra at The Romance Studio, if you "love a good action packed story" and you like them "just a little on the darker side," you'll probably like what I write. |

| The Ghost Piper | by Prudence MacLeod July 28, 2011 | $2.99 | 73562 words | Sample 10% |
| Author bio: I am a spiritual seeker, dog trainer, official Reiki Master and Interior designer, who has turned her hand to writing. I am also an avid chess player, not a great one, but an avid one. I bake, I build, I knit, and I tell great stories. I have roamed far and wide for over sixty years in this realm, and I have seen much; some I wish I had not, and a great deal that I would love to see again. Some days I feel like Bilbo Baggins, for I have been there and come back again. No, I haven't written a book about my wanderings, at least not yet, but much I have experienced, observed, learned, surmised, or imagined, is woven into the tales I have written. Folks, if you take the time to write a review for me, please leave me a way to contact you so I can thank you properly. If you prefer to remain anonymous, then let me thank you right now. Thanks!! |

| Lancelot And The Wolf | by Sarah Luddington July 26, 2011 | $4.95 | 81624 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: I've been writing for twenty years on and off, but it is only the last five I've been serious. So, I'm still in my apprenticeship. This website is to give all those interested a way to access my writing, read snippets and learn how to download to Kindle or purchase some of my work. I have published and unpublished works here, some still being written, some in the editing stage. Browse as you wish but be warned, I write both violence and erotica. I have also been accused of writing love stories. If love is half as painful as some of the stuff I write here, then maybe it ought to come with a health warning. There is love in these tales, I am an old romantic who thinks love makes the world go round. However, love generates passions which aren't always so physically pleasurable. My stories, some about redemption, some about saving the world from the ultimate evil, some about obsession, are fun, fast paced and pure urban fantasy - FOR ADULTS! A theme I've thought of in one is often carried into the next. I have a style, I have a subject I enjoy. If you like the same things then great. If not then good luck and thanks for visiting. Personally, I have been everything from a tree grower, to a book binder, a barmaid and cleaner. For the last few years I've been running an award winning full time martial arts company and taught three disciplines within my club. I hold three black belts and have a degree in Medieval History, which comes in handy if I ever need to use either an English or Japanese sword. I have achieved all this despite having once lived in a squat in an abandoned Victorian schoolhouse. My husband and I now live with three cats on the Somerset Levels, just down the road from Glastonbury, the centre for inspiration in everything esoteric and strange. Music is my inspiration and my love. Live music the one thing I will actually leave my house for voluntarily. My links page is full of the bands I think should be compulsory listening but apparently I'm in the minority! One thing I will say - any reference to a band is made with due respect and reverence.
