The Star Who Lost His Twinkle by Nigel Bird The Star Who Lost His Twinkle by Nigel Bird Sep. 22, 2011 Free! 365 words Read a sample
Author bio:
45 years. It's been a long journey. I've been a primary school teacher for almost half of them, moving from mainstream to exceptional needs to additional support needs. I'm most happy with and most proud of my own family. Second to them comes my involvement in writing and peripheral projects. I co-edited the Rue Bella magazine for 5 years or so and am mighty proud of that too. Recently I've been more involved with writing my own pieces. I've been lucky enough to find spaces for some of my work and I'm hoping that one day I'll write a novel that's worthy of publication. I've given up gambling, alcohol, smoking and any kind of unnatural highs over the past few years and am looking for a new compulsion - maybe I've found it in Twitter. Yep, 45 years. I haven't always known it, but I've been a very lucky man.

Sarah Pig by George Morrow Sarah Pig by George Morrow Nov. 10, 2010 Free! 1955 words Read a sample
Author bio:
"George with his friends Snip and pup Sierra." George was raised climbing the mountains and fishing the lakes and streams of the Sierra Nevada mountains. At a young age he started to appreciate the value of the unspoiled beauty of the wilderness. To this day he continues to appreciate the beauty of the earth and the life that is upon it. Many of the stories he has written are first hand experiences, such as the lady bugs hatching on the eastern shore of Lake Tahoe - as is talked about in The Little Helper. After a tour in Vietnam, George married his wife, Jean, who has been a great benefit to George in his writings and life. George and Jean toured the U.S. and Canada for several months in their VW van seeking a place to raise a family. But nothing was as appealing as their own back yard of Nevada with its desert valleys and high mountains. Now married 39 years, the Morrows reside on a small farm in Fallon, Nevada where they have raised four sons: Jeremy, Jake, Josh and Jesse. George says with a smile, "It's hard not to be happy when you have everything." George is much like anyone else; he's a dreamer about a lot of things, but he is also a doer. When he sets his mind to it, few things stand in the way to get the results he desires. Many of George's dreams have already come true. For instance, when he recently cut a CD at Opal Studios in Portland, Oregon with songs he has written, with his sons accompanying him on instruments, George's heart swelled with joy. By completing this project, he brought closure to a statement he had been wanting to make, mostly to himself. "I've been waiting since I was 12 years old to record in a sound studio, but you know," George says with a smirk, "I'm just going to have to come to grips with the fact that I probably won't ever be a great songwriter like Bob Dylan or a guitarist like Eric Clapton." He laughs like a little boy, "But a storyteller? That's something I can do." Indeed, George is a wonderful storyteller! Whether he's conveying his very first composition about Emily the Goose, or telling about one of his real-life adventures exploring Tahoe, George entertains, evokes emotion, and even teaches. George's motivation is to produce children's literature that elevates values. He also desires to highlight awareness of children's development, as well as their wit and humor. George has a great respect for a child's perspective on nature; the pure relationship of the two is an ongoing theme in his writing.

Madison and the Missing Moon by Jamie Busby Madison and the Missing Moon by Jamie Busby Sep. 07, 2011 Free! 17561 words Read a sample
Author bio:
I am a 38 year old little boy from Birmingham, UK, now living in Stratford-on-Avon, the birthplace of another half-decent bard as it happens. After a stint in Rehab for alcohol & prescription drug addiction in 2002, I began writing as a form of therapy. It appears to have worked as I have remained extremely sober & deliriously happy ever since. For my writing, I tend to draw on my childhood experiences & thoughts from the time, those distant magical memories of something that you'll never forget. This has led to my work forming out of a simple, childlike premise, but building into a story suitable for all ages, from 7 to 107+. In all honesty, when I begin writing, I never quite know where it's going to take me, but I have come to the conclusion that that's a good thing. Nowadays, I write purely for personal enjoyment & fulfillment but after the feedback I have received, I thought it terribly selfish to deny the masses of my work & Kindle/Amazon/Smashwords et al have provided the perfect platform to reach you all. I am currently beginning work on a follow-up title & will continue to create a series of 'Madison' books for both children & adults to enjoy. That is my dream anyway & I'v found dreams can take you a long way if you follow them.

You don't have to settle for just surfing the waves - you can rise up and walk on top of them. Magic isn't just for kids. It isn't just for fairy tales. There's magic within each and every one of us. I hope to pass along this one message. You have power you can't even imagine. Seek it out. Develop it. Put it to work in your life.

Hi there. I'm a guy who enjoys creating new things, ranging from short stories to poetry [children's too] and thus writing is an enjoyable pastime for me, beit psycho fiction, sci-fi, supernatural or fantasy. Art is my second love, and when the mood strikes me, I'll do a landscape painting on box canvas, using acrylic paints. Very relaxing! I usually give them away to friends and family. As for my writings, I've had some works published in paperback and hardback down the years; short story and an assortment of poems. I've dabbled with screenwriting in the past, which is quite an enjoyable, yet complex style. My taste in music is varied too, if the sound is catchy, then I like it. Here I'll mention I do love Lady GaGa's music, I could listen to her songs 24/7 without getting bored - I love 'em! Righto, there you have it, a little bit of me and my favourite things. I'd like to thank those who have read this short bio, and also those who have left comments about my ebooks - much appreciated! For those authors who need a Cover Page, visit my website and view my ready-made eBook Cover Pages that you can purchase for £2.50p - inclusive of your Title and preferred Author Name.

Why? Why not? Its fun! Today there are many freedoms to express one's creativity and share it with the world! Who will you inspire? Got for it! Purchase an ebook for your family. Anyone who buys an ebook has permission to make their own video of the books. Join in the endeavor to read to children all over the world through the internet. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dawn Maria Brady has been a military spouse for nearly 30 years. For many of those years she worked in daycare centers. She also ran a home daycare for seven years. In addition to supplying meals for the children, she made breakfast for parents before they headed off to work. She wrote and illustrated many stories for her own children as well as her daycare "babies." Story time was one of the favorites besides water play. The family has had many places to call home although Dawn Maria and the children have never left the states. Her husband was the one who traveled all over the world. As a military spouse and family, you have to be adventurous, independent, since your husband is gone for a year at a time, dedicated and most of all, able to go with the flow and accept changes as they happen. Living a military life has hardships and is emotional. When the soldiers leave for a tour in a war zone, we often wonder in silence as we watch the ceremony and say our good-byes; who isn't coming home. This is not a job. Its a way of life that tests a person in ways never imagined. It makes you stronger, deeper and rearranges priorities. Dawn Maria told her husband, "I can hold on as long as you can! We are in this together!" THE FUTURE: Dawn Maria is working on new children's books, "Leaping Frog Brags" which is a rewrite from an original 22 years ago, "Read and Do", and "Word Play." Also look for Story Rock, a young adult novel to be released in 2012. Thank you for visiting and see the facebook page link below for more updates.

I have been writing since my daughter, now a young woman, was very small as a way for me to unwind and entertain her. At least that was what I told myself at the time. Even now I mostly write fantasy for children and young adults in anything from short story to novel length. I live at Durham, England, with a varying number of British Shorthair cats which I show and breed the occasional litter from. Any spare time when I am not working, writing or showing the cats I use in the garden which always seems to require far more attention than I can give it! The Lost Sorcerer is the first book I have published on Smashwords. I am currently preparing the first of The Dragon World series; The Bonding Crystal, for publication

Author bio:
Tobias Dingbat gave up a serious career in circus clowning to freelance as a political speech-writer. It happened that Australian politics entered a golden age of self-serving clowns for whom he wrote meaningless speeches. He is now retired, having divorced a show pony, an elephant and an alcoholic monkey. This first illustrated book is Part 1 of a series to come, which will develop more characters most of them being fully human (for now). I hope to explore the interactions between "bio-born" and "techno-born" creatures, maybe raising interesting issues to confront us over the next 50 years. As I am no scientist, I will imagine with a sense of humour to shrug off criticism. It's a hobby, with a simple wish to entertain people.
