Lies and Consequences by Kaje Harper Lies and Consequences by Kaje Harper April 05, 2011 Free! 97986 words Read a sample
Author bio:
I've been writing as long as I can remember (which is longer than I like to admit). I started creating M/M romances in high-school, filling binders with stories about what Starsky and Hutch really did on their days off. (Pretty PG-rated stuff - we're talking sheltered fourteen-year-old here. I was into the romantic possibilities.) Any potential writing career got side-tracked by forays into art, psychology, teaching, and a biomedical profession. And the challenges of raising children. When I took up the keyboard again it was just for fun, writing books for my own entertainment. At about manuscript seven, my epically patient spouse told me that if I was going to spend that much time at it, I should try to get published. And he kept saying it, loudly, until I submitted one. And it was accepted! (Really exciting!) That's Life Lessons that was published May 2011 MLR Press. A short story, And to All a Good Night, that follows it is available here for free. The sequel, Breaking Cover, came out from MLR in late July. And I'm currently in the editing process for other work, including a werewolf novel, Unacceptable Risk. My Smashwords book, Lies and Consequences, started as a kind of reaction after the November 2010 elections when the DADT repeal looked like it might be derailed. Then I was caught by surprise as I finished the book in December and the repeal passed. I tweaked it by upping the action, and deemphasizing the DADT subplot. The result was something lightweight, but hopefully fun. So I put it out as a free read. I hope you enjoy it. As a new author, I really appreciate reviews - what you liked and what you didn't. Remember those other six manuscripts? (Okay, nine now.) Maybe your comment will help turn the next good book into a better book. KH

The Morning Walk by Rae Smith The Morning Walk by Rae Smith Feb. 20, 2012 Free! 3235 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Sitting down to write this a bio freaks me out a little bit. It's like standing up in public and having to speak, and you look around the room, open your mouth to speak and all that comes out is a scratchy squeak. That’s me. I’m shy. Always have been and most likely always will be. But, anyway, here goes. I am in my forties, and I live in England with my wonderful husband, my three amazingly brilliant children, and my beloved laptop. No pets. I've been making up stories almost since I learned how to talk. When I was little, my family used to call them my ‘tall tales’ but I remained undeterred and carried on telling them, eventually writing them down when I discovered pretty notebooks and pens. I love writing. I have always enjoyed sharing my imagination with other people. And if I go long periods without writing, I get a little testy, according to my family. I started out posting my stories for free on the internet – mainly LiveJournal, but then, through the encouragement of some of my readers I decided to pursue the idea of getting published via the eBook route. My readers are some of the most loving, loyal, and awesome people. They’ve stood by me through all my doubts and worries, and kept me on track when the panic sets in. If it wasn’t for them, I’d still be dealing with an inert sense of inferiority, and be plagued with self-doubt. I like to write in a wide variety of genres and cover a host of subjects, but my heart will always be with erotic romance. There's something magical about two people (be they gay, straight, or in-between) finding each other and fighting against all odds to reach happily ever after. If my characters and their stories can touch just one other person--can take his mind off his troubles or make her day seem just a little bit brighter--then I feel like I've done something important.

Author bio:
So, I'm twenty-four going on fifty and bored to death living in a city in a forgotten country called Romania. I spice my life by reading all that I get my hands on (with an unhealthy predilection towards more pervy genres like erotic literature and addictive m/m stories). As for writing, I've started doodling at the age of seven, at eleven I shocked my lit teach with a sci-fi short love story(by then I was well acquainted with my mom's hidden stash of Sandra Brown and Sidney Sheldon)and proceeded to take a short break in my literature career...lol. Finally after like fifteen years of avid reading, I've said what the heck, and started writing again. Now I'm hoping my readers will be harder to shock and won't need therapy to recover.

More specifically, I live in Virginia with two very spoiled cats. I have a day job that's not too bad, and I've always wanted to be a writer, so I write.

Voyage East by Tom Williams 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.
