Bear Traxxx	by Kennie Kayoz July 13, 2011	Free!	755 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Take 333-parts poetry and 333-parts of hate you get Kennie Kayoz: the perfect lethal combination of poetry and hate, whom himself has been labeled as 666 by his high school whom according to them should have spent time in the psych ward for things that he's said and poetry written while at school. Like the meaning of his name Kennie feels as if he's been born from the fire time and time again, and has been through various points in his life that have been utter kayotic. However he emerged from everything that life has seemed to throw at him many eBooks later Kennie is still looking at getting his name out there. Feeling unwanted by everyone around him since the age of 16, Kennie has not had an easy life which carries out into everything he does with an obvious edge. What he writes is real, and is what gives his words a distinction of others. The once #1 target of bullying at high school which started his controversial writing skills which really got him noticed by his teacher and principal when during a co-op class he wrote about being bullied from the moment he walked in the front doors at school in the morning till the moment that he gets off the bus at night the school was then set into "panic mode" as they then linked Kennie as a "Potential Threat" of pulling a "Columbine". They also pushed Kennie towards the schools psychologist to allow him someone to "Talk To", shortly after that Kennie found himself walking out of the doors never to return. After many trials and tribulations in his life after he dropped out he still managed to write on and off as his writing became an eerie prophecy for his own life. In late 2005 Kennie signed Crystal to Coyotes Publishing and just a few months later Kennie's struggles got worse as his father was killed by vehicular homicide. At the start of 2006 Kennie decided to take a huge chance with his poe-hatery as he established the ebook called "End Of The Poe-Hatery Era" in which he gathered up all that could be considered "Poe-Hatery" and released it followed that he went on to realize that "Poe-Hatery" was exactly who he was so he decided to take another huge chance and release "Be Yourself" a eBook with collabs by various independent artists (in various genres) as well as other independent poets and he released it it got a huge variety of notice all through out the internet, but when Kennie realized that he was the only one plugging it and none of the other artists were doing anything about the release he immediately pulled the release off of the internet. Shortly after that Coyotes Publishing as well as Kennie vanished from the likes of the internet.

Winter Haiku	by Angus Brownfield Dec. 09, 2011	Free!	128 words	Read a sample
Author bio: I was born in Kansas by mistake, and I've never found my way back. The man behind the curtain, it seems, had no hot air balloon. I spent more years than I care to count writing in the language of hierarchical organizations (also known as bureaucracies). I wrote grant proposals and long range plans, for example. I believe I have finally purged myself of all bureaucratese, and ought to be understood to regular (i.e., non-bureaucrat) persons. I've lived in Missouri, California and Oregon, presently in a smallish burg named Talent, where citizens know the names of waitresses and mail carriers and "howdy" each other on the street. It's a far cry from Los Angeles and Berkeley, where I did lots of my writing of grant applications and such. My big-time favorite writer is Thomas Mann, but if you wave Elmore Leonard or Robert B. Parker under my nose, I am like a sot sniffing an Old Fashioned. I have a tough hide and a tender heart. I cry in two-hanky movies, but I was a boxer in college. I can make a salmon souffle, but I favor large, complex stews and soups that I can eat over several days. I also bake a very good sourdough French bread. I have a blog which has lain dormant for some time, because no one seems to read it, though spammers flock to it. I would welcome comments there from anyone who would actually read a posting. Late in 2011 I launched my eighth novel, Guardian of the Lost Colony, the third book in the Mustt Adventure Series. With that kind of output it's time to concentrate on getting my work read and appreciated. Look forward to some book deals in 2012.

'Twas the Night Before Solstice (Southern Oregon Style)	by Celeste Drolle Dec. 09, 2011	Free!	890 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Celeste Drolle sets aside precious little time for writing, and her critics complain that it shows. Celeste shrugs this off, aims her TV remote, and tunes in another telenovela. * * * Time for writing or not, she rarely lacks for stories -- a trait, she points out, that she shares with other habitual liars. "Can you imagine if Dick Nixon had written fiction?" smiles Celeste: "I promise to tell the Half Truth, the Twisted Truth, and nothing resembling the Truth." * * * Pressed about the unlikely likeness of her publicity photo, she mumbles something inaudible about the British Museum, face lifts, and "what's a girl to do?" * * * In pursuit of her promise to write longer fiction one day, must her ravenous appetite for C movies, hush puppies and libidinous living be curtailed? "I have often worried that advancing age might trim my sails," muses Ms. Drolle. "Lordy, how mistaken can a body can be?"

I was a juvenile delinquent .I then had a brainstorm and was propelled by its winds in the direction of Parris Island to become a man. Just a few months after my 18th birthday, I was sent to Vietnam. I survived but brought home a head full of trauma. In 1990 I returned to Vietnam to see if I could find myself again. After my return, I began to write - and I'm still writing. My desire is to share my journey with others through my writing, and to give life and honor to those I served with in Vietnam who no longer have a voice. I have been married for more than 40 years. I have two children and two granddaughters. I served the Quincy Fire Department for 32 years and retired in 2005 as the Chief of Department. Peace
Organic Leaves Haiku	by Samantha MC Luck Jan. 17, 2012	Free!	172 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Intuitive adults, annoyed older siblings, and patient parents knew that Samantha M.C. Luck would grow up to be a writer. As a small child, her stories went on and on and on and onâ€¦ â€œAnd thennn,â€ she would repeat in the middle of mental paragraphs until the story was completely told. They all knew her path before she did. It wasnâ€™t until her fourth grade project to write, illustrate, and display her own book that she knew she was born to be a writer. She presented to her class her own version of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. It was full of fun, fear, love, and candy, plenty of candy!! Many years later, Samantha, raised in Southeast, D.C., and Prince Georgeâ€™s County, Maryland, went on to pursue a degree in journalism-magazine production at Florida A&M University and earned her M.B.A. at Trinity (Washington) University. Writing remained her passion as she continued through school. She wrote for her collegeâ€™s newspaper and magazine. She interned at the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper, freelanced for The Washington Informer Newspaper, conducted interviews, and wrote articles for ShowOff Magazine (a Bermuda publication), and JukeBoxDC.com, an internationally known music blog. Samantha has had the opportunity to interview several artists and influential figures from Talib Kweli, Ryan Leslie, Dawn Richard, to Teedra Moses, Anthony Hamilton, and Doug E. Fresh. While interviewing is fun for Samantha because she loves to listen and ask questions, she has brought her focus back to her first loveâ€“creative writing. Organic Leaves is a story Samantha developed over the course of a few years, building from her own experiences, the universal of experiences of young women in college, and the secret trials that are inevitable for most of them. Samantha created an imaginative story of love, pain, paralyzing fear, and exciting rebellion. She wrote the book to bring many issues to light and to share that we, as a community, are not so different from each other. Samantha currently works in trade publishing and is working on her second novel.

Author bio: The Company Was Founded On: November 12th 2006 by Shane & Jessica Diamond. Â Â But in 2011 it seems that 4E Inc is standing for: Death, Depression & Despair Â Â Death - Since the start of 4E Inc (even before it was created) Shane & Jessica's lives have been riddled with death as it seems that everyone and everything (all the pets) around them are dying rather quickly. Â Â Depression - Through the lives of Shane & Jessica they have both battled with depression on many issues from not being good enough to harassment issues which still plague them today. Â Â Despair - Things started in 2008 with the feeling of despair, and things continue to grow with them. As it seems that nothing they do works out to there own benefits, as they're constantly stuck in shitty life situations constantly being put down and all hope and wishes of ever getting out of the shitty living condition constantly gets dimmer.
