The Eternal Dungeon: a Turn-of-the-Century Toughs omnibus of historical fantasy novels by Dusk Peterson The Eternal Dungeon: a Turn-of-the-Century Toughs omnibus of historical fantasy novels by Dusk Peterson Oct. 19, 2010 $9.99 441400 words Sample 10%
Author bio:
Dusk Peterson writes fantasy, historical fantasy, science fiction, and contemporary fiction. Suspense plays an important role in many of the tales; the conflict in those tales is both external and internal. Peterson's stories are often placed in dark settings, such as prisons or wartime locations. The mood of the stories, however, is not one of unrelieved gloominess: friendship, heterosexual love, gay love, and faithful service are recurring themes.

Author bio:
An avid reader from a young age, I started branching out into writing years ago. I started with several rather ambitious stories that were probably doomed to failure to begin with, above and beyond the personal circumstances that lead to me abandoning writing for years. Due to a chance overheard conversation while on the bus from school, an idea took root and I suddenly had the urge to write again. From there, my work has only grown -- and the future continues to look bright. Currently, I'm a web programmer looking for a job. Getting my degree was great, but it doesn't do me any good sitting up on my wall looking pretty!

Benedetto Casanova - The Memoirs by Marten Weber Benedetto Casanova - The Memoirs by Marten Weber March 29, 2011 $9.69 189771 words Sample 10%
Author bio:
I am of mixed parentage (a man and a woman) and have lived in more countries than I can count on hands and feet together. I speak several languages, and believe in multiculturalism, tolerance, and free champagne also in economy class. I dislike bigots and fanatics of all denominations. I am hugely uncomfortable with labels, even seemingly benign ones such as 'gay,' 'straight,' or 'sugar-free' and prefer instead to judge people by their sense of humor and shoe size. I believe that everybody, regardless of race or gender, income or size of genitals, should be gay for a year. Over the past two decades, I have published hundreds of stories and novellas and set them free on the Internet, not always under my real name. Some of them have mated with other texts, music and videos, to produce the most curious offspring. One story has left the known universe and is currently a best-seller on Pharus II. Most of my recent books concern the lives and adventures of men, both today, in history, and in the future.

When Twilight Falls by Gerard Whittaker When Twilight Falls by Gerard Whittaker Aug. 13, 2010 $4.00 176929 words Sample 40%
Author bio:
Once I was a soldier, getting blown up a few times convinced me that a change of career might be a good idea. However, given some of the jobs I've done since, being shot in the chest could be preferable to being stabbed in the back. I've studied military history. Used most types of swords and medieval weapons. Spent a few years learning how to write. And had my fair share of rejection slips. I'm still hoping to see my work in print. However, in the meantime I want to share my worlds with the world at large. Perhaps someone might suggest ways to improve my writing. I've enjoyed writing When Twilight Falls, but it took too long due to two relationship failures. It's a long book, but I wanted to develop the story slowly with an ever increasing threat level. I've written about eight books so far, not all were completed. I was half way through a novel about an alien invasion, with modern day fighters taking on flying saucers. Then I saw a little film called Independence Day. And sulked for a month. There are too many Sci Fi books written for children, in my opinion. So I'm trying to write for adults, if that includes a bit of sex then so be it. Heroes are just normal people in extraordinary circumstances. When they get the job done, they are still just your average Joe with all the weaknesses of you or I. For some reason most of my worlds are not very nice, I suppose the good worlds don't need saving. So there is plenty of scope for temptation in many forms for the 'Heroes' to fall into. When you put yourself in their place, wouldn't you give in to temptation too? This is the oficial introdution for When Twilight Falls. Not the tiny blurb we are all given. When the TeckSpire Company discovered Sayerass they found a world with a truly human population stuck in an eternal middle-ages. The planet had many more surprises in store, for the inhabitants pre-dated Humanity by a good million years. With all the knowledge of Terran science there was no way it could exist. That did not stop the Company from exploiting the local slave owning society. Reginald Fairly was new from Earth, a junior executive on the fast track to success. He was a good man, but harboured a terrible secret that kept him awake all night in his own private nightmare. He had no compulsion about buying a young slave girl called Sara to help appease his inner demons, even if he had to pull her down into his own personal nightmare. Sara would have to choose whether to trust the strange alien with sinister secrets or betray him. But to help him the innocent child would have to learn to lie, steal and kill. With the knowledge of the mysterious planet’s existence leaking out, various factions converged, each with their own agenda. Some wanted to take it for themselves, some to strip-mine the world and enslave the survivors, and some to blow the obscenity from existence and make way for Terran racial supremacy. But the last faction only wanted to feed. To save the world Reg would have to choose wisely. For in a world without good there was still plenty of evil, and no one was who they seemed to be. Could he trust the saintly Sister Maria of the Temple of Mercy? But even she had surprising talents and an agenda of her own. What about the doctor, a woman who hid her past, allegiance and even her very name, but she did have amazing power. Could he afford her help, and would the price be his soul? Did he have a choice? Or Geo Trace, an ex circus strongman and amateur archaeologist, searching for the astounding secrets that lay hidden for billions of years beneath Sayerssian soil. Perhaps the secret to saving Sayerass lay in an almost forgotten cell in the capital’s sinister Citadel. Or in a cosmic junk yard halfway across known space waiting to be born. Or perhaps it lay in Sara’s courage and love. Only one thing was certain, the tides of cosmic war were approaching the forgotten world, nothing could stop it and very little would survive the onslaught. For when twilight falls on the longest night of the year, and the oldest ones emerge to feed, mankind shall become but a legend. That's it for now, I'm hoping to dust off some for my old books for a rewrite, and you might see them soon. Then next one I'm hoping to release is, Enigma: Voyage of the Damned. Starting off with an invasion of England and the part played by an experimental submarine. Of course it soon escalates out of control... Technically it takes place forty, or four hundred, years before When Twilight Falls. But all my books are independent of each other. All the best to one and all. I wish you the best of luck in avoiding temptation. I've just uploaded a short novel called The Streets of Bucharest. I'm still working on the full sized book and expect it to be online shortly. I'm sorry I screwed up not loading the full version. But I did give it for free to make up for my mistake. The Full version of The Streets of Bucharest is now online. It's only 40,000 words, but I hope you will enjoy it. Enigma: Pt 1. Voyage of the Damned, is now online. Enigma: Pt 2, Cosmic Odyssey, is now online. Enigma: Pt 3, The Final Battle, is now on line to round off the Enigma's voyage. Just rewrote an old book of mine. The Bonds of Time. It was an experiment in erotic drama. With a lot of BDSM thrown in. For anyone interested it also gives a short description of Aeden, a couple of years after the founding. It was not a very nice place when TIME was first being formed for self defence, and long before the Cosmic Guardians were even thought of to protect the Multiverse. Finished Isralla, and am now working on a sequel called Enryn, using a new slant, telling of a war from the Marines' point of view. I'm writing these with as little sex and as much action as the characters will let me. So if anything goes wrong, blame them! Date 13 December 2010 Thanks for the rating, for a writer who lives and works alone any kind of a pat on the back is very welcome. Sometimes... I am intending to finish Of Dusk and Dawn in the New year. But I admit to getting writer's block and being side tracked by Isralla and Enryn. I hope these books will keep you all amused till I can get back to D&D. A word of warning, I've started a new book called The Cloud Knights. A sort of cross between Biggles and Sharp, set in a crazy world you will not recgignise. So if you like the idea of biplanes versus airships, politics and treason, and a hero determined to rise from the ranks to become a Cloud Knight, fighting for freedom in a world were every thing is for sale to those with the rank to clame it. Then you might like it. I'm determined not to get sidtracked this time, so I hope to publish the full book in a few weeks. I also draw my own book covers, using DAZ Studio, which explains how I keep uploading new covers. Gerard Whittaker

Author bio:
I am of mixed parentage (a man and a woman) and have lived in more countries than I can count on hands and feet together. I speak several languages, and believe in multiculturalism, tolerance, and free champagne also in economy class. I dislike bigots and fanatics of all denominations. I am hugely uncomfortable with labels, even seemingly benign ones such as 'gay,' 'straight,' or 'sugar-free' and prefer instead to judge people by their sense of humor and shoe size. I believe that everybody, regardless of race or gender, income or size of genitals, should be gay for a year. Over the past two decades, I have published hundreds of stories and novellas and set them free on the Internet, not always under my real name. Some of them have mated with other texts, music and videos, to produce the most curious offspring. One story has left the known universe and is currently a best-seller on Pharus II. Most of my recent books concern the lives and adventures of men, both today, in history, and in the future.

Author bio:
I live in Campbell, California and work for the County of Santa Clara. I love to write humorous stories (with happy endings) about flawed (but endearing) individuals readers can relate to. I think it's a writer's job to produce the highest-quality work because the writer is asking each reader to devote numerous hours to a story. A writer should never waste a reader's leisure time with sub-standard writing. Besides writing, I also enjoy crafting, beadwork, sewing, and any sort of design work. I have two small dogs, two turtles, and a loud cockatoo. I'm highly involved in refurbishing the Lending Library at the Billy DeFrank LGBT Community Center and devote most of my volunteer time to the center.

The River in Winter by Matt Dean The River in Winter by Matt Dean May 11, 2010 $2.99 140286 words Sample 25%
Author bio:
Matt Dean began writing in the seventh grade, when his best friend bragged about writing a novel, and he wanted to be able to do the same. (Brag, that is. The writing was somewhat incidental at first.) His earliest efforts consisted of endless lists of characters that somehow never got into action on the page, novels that were barely longer than short stories, and plays that recycled entire plots from Neil Simon. In short, though The River in Winter is not his first novel, it is the first that will ever see the light of day. Matt attended Heidelberg College—now Heidelberg University—in Tiffin, Ohio, where he majored in music and economics. He has had the honor and privilege of studying the craft of writing in workshops led by David Leavitt, Timothy Schaffert, and Carol Bly. In addition to writing fiction, Matt routinely populates his blog— entitled “Letters from the Country” in honor of a book of essays by his mentor, Carol Bly—with diatribes and observations concerning food, pop culture, technology, politics, and book design. Ardently but intermittently, he composes both classical and popular music. Matt lives in South Carolina with his partner, Todd, and their three dogs, Charlotte, Candice, and Tallulah. He works at home, telecommuting full-time for a software company. He is a programmer of a sort; his actual job duties often amount to the digital equivalent of holding an ancient engine together with chewing gum and duct tape. Todd and Matt are corporate members of the Unitarian Church in Charleston. Matt serves on the board of the Secular Humanists of the Lowcountry.

Author bio:
TJ began writing his stories in the eighties, mostly for fun and for friends. He was still working full-time for someone else and the career took up more time than he wished. In 2005, he began working for himself with hopes of spending more time on his writing. On the computer were several novels not yet produced, so while writing new material, he began searching for outlets for the books he'd completed. His favorite part of writing is the crafting of the rough draft, a period in the process when the words fly from the storage center deep in his brain like a movie stuck on fast-forward. The agonizing part begins with the painstaking restructuring as the editing begins, but it is a joy when the tale is finally finished. TJ often works on three stories at once, each in different stages of production. He does this to keep his creative skills at peak performance, and because he believes fiction is just too much fun!
