	Christmas Poems	by Sophie Duncan Dec. 05, 2011	$0.99	1482 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: I also write with my sister under Tasha-and-Sophie Duncan, and for some of my adult fiction as A D Benedict. By day I am a project manager developing IT solutions for a large company in the South East of England. By night, you'll find me scribbling away at many a story that just won't leave me alone. I've been writing since I was a wee thing, and publishing since I discovered the internet in 1994 or so. So what do I write? Contemporary and urban fantasy have mainly been my playground, but I have done some real world settings as well. I do like mystery and have been reading (and watching) Agatha Christie since I was a child. I've also been known to do a bit of poetry. Style: I have been told I do angst well, so if you want your heartstrings twanged, or your tummy to tie in knots until the end, then I'm your gal. I am, however, a happy ending junkie, although I do throw a hint of realism in there sometimes as well. I like a few twists and turns on the way in some of my plots, although I have written my share of PWPs as well. I have to admit a small obsession with eyes: I believe they are the seat of beauty in a person, so I play with them in creature fic and use them for expression in others - personal hang up, sorry. Also, I have never met a cliché I didn't like and I am a firm believer that cliché is fine if you do it right. Writing is a passion and there's nothing better than writing for an audience. Any writer who says they don't care about feedback must have had an ego amputation :) If you life my scribbles, I'd be very glad to hear from you.

	Ice Melts	by Phyllis Anderson Nov. 27, 2011	$1.99	4381 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Born in 1969 and raised in Ayrshire, Scotland, nature has played a key role in Phyllis Anderson’s development as a poet and writer. As a child, she’d spend days that stretched beyond time, exploring the woodland surrounding her home. Whether climbing trees, picking primroses which clustered in copses, or meandering amongst blue bells, growing up was truly a sensory and wondrous experience. Now, forty two years old Phyllis’ life has turned full circle and she currently lives on a ten thousand acre country estate, where cows graze on pastoral landscape, an environment which fuels the poetic imagination. This first volume of poetry is the culmination of observations made by Phyllis Anderson throughout her life. Its title is taken from “Haiku for Mountaineers” which alludes to the hardships suffered by climbers to reach the oft elusive summit. Wise climbers realise that it is the mountain that conquers the heart of the climber.

ParaMind makes a configurable brainstorming program based on brainstorming by “exhausting the interactions of words coming up with every idea possible.” ParaMind has been mentioned in many books including Ray Kurzweil “The Age of Spiritual Machines.” His two recent books on hyperreligiosity and on hallucinations in religious practice key in on two of the biggest problems facing spiritual seekers today. He is finishing the third in this series on documenting the major problems that can happen to people interested in religious ideas. These three books have a cross cultural appeal since many are interested in spirituality, and others are concerned about the problems that religious beliefs can create. This book is tentatively called “Grandiosity and the Empowerment of the Spiritual and Artistic.”
