Necropolis Rising | by David Jeffery Sep. 09, 2010 | $0.99 | 48045 words | Sample 5% |
| Author bio: Dave Jeffery is 46 and lives with his family in rural Worcestershire. He was born in The Black Country and spent most of his youth dreaming of writing and drawing comic strips for DC Thompson, creators of The Beano and The Dandy. Dave completed his first novel, Badlands, at the age of ten and admits that it was 'pretty awful'. He still has it hidden somewhere in his loft. At school he used to write and illustrate comics for his school friends, selling them for a few pennies. At 15 years of age, he was invited to Dundee to see DC Thompson’s offices after sending his portfolio to them. Nothing may have come of the visit but the dream of getting work published continued. He is perhaps best known for his Beatrice Beecham series originally with Chipmunka Publications, London. This adventurous, super-sleuth teenager is currently on her second adventure with a third, Beatrice Beecham’s Cryptic Crypt, due out in 2011. The eBook Housefull of Horrors is released through Smashwords on October 31st and contains all seven Beatrice Beecham chapbooks. Writing as David Jeffery, this author also publishes adult and young adult horror and supernatural fiction. His zombie novel Necroloplis Rising will be released on September 11th through Smashwords. The prelude chapbook Splatoon is available now by following the book cover link on the home page. His Beatrice Beecham Presents: Campside Chillers collection will also be available early next year. In the interim Dave's short stories can be found in the Creature Feature anthology and his story Masquerade has been accepted for inclusion in the forthcoming WATCH anthology from Imprint Phoenix Publications. When he is not writing novels Dave works as a mental health practitioner. He has published an academic book with John Wiley & Sons and articles in his field of mental health whilst presenting on the international stage. He is in the process of editing another book for Speechamrk Publishing Ltd, for release in 2011. He is also author of Finding Jericho, a novel for young adults released through Chipmunka Publications, London exploring the relationship between a 15 year old boy and an uncle who has been diagnosed with manic depression. This book has been endorsed by the mental health charity MIND. Dave enjoys music, playing guitar and was once in a band called The Lion Farm who took their name from the council estate where he was dragged up. |

When not writing, he works as a lab technician at a telecommunications company and is self-described on his resume as a “technology professional” who has worked with cellular & IP infrastructure, biomedical equipment, emergency two-way radios and computer hardware.

This practice was ended when he was moved to a different shift. Sadly, his enjoyment of writing was forgotten for several years, until the autumn of 2007, when old friends received a “blast from the past” email with the recognizable words, “Hello All”. The strange writings and short stories had resumed and a personal website was soon to follow. In autumn of 2009, Tom published his first book, Freaked out Horror (a collection of short stories). The work has been temporarily unpublished and will be re-released in 2011 with many additions, revisions and improvements. In a commitment to produce higher quality writings, Tom no longer produces daily short stories on his website, but keeps in touch with his readers by posting to his blog, daily.

One Mistake | by Andy Frankham-Allen Aug. 22, 2010 | $1.50 | 5081 words | Sample 30% |
| Author bio: Welsh-born Andy Frankham-Allen's passion for writing began with a love of Doctor Who. He's been writing since as far back as he can remember, and, although unsuccessful, he wrote a Doctor Who novel for BBC Books in 1996 after an accident caused him to out of work for four months. Following that writing fell back into a hobby until 2001 when he began an ongoing fan-fiction series called Doctor Who: The Legacy, which carried on until 2006. This led to professional Doctor Who short stories in Big Finish's anthology series, Short Trips, from 2004 to 2009. During which time he wrote an audio drama for Noise Monster's Space 1889 series. In 2007 he created and co-edited a new eZine called Pantechnicon, for which he also wrote short stories in interviews. In March 2010 he self-published a trial-edition of the first book in his cross-genre Garden Saga, Seeker, to gauge the general readership it attracts. The book is now under consideration by an independent publishing company. He has several stories in the pipeline for release over the coming months (both shorts and novellas), and is currently researching the second part of The Garden Saga. When he's not writing, which isn't very often, he can be found in a little glass box in Cardiff selling coffee and pasties (and making copious amounts of notes for his various writing projects). |

Surviving The Theseus | by Randy Noble Aug. 09, 2010 | $2.99 | 60473 words | Sample 25% |
| Author bio: My life has been one of finding what I would love to do for a living. I tried university soon after high school, film and video major, but was not ready so I dropped out. I had a strong desire to work in the film industry, in some capacity, for many years. After dropping out of University, I thought I would opt for film school, instead of the drawn out University method of teaching one about making films. But the expense of it turned me off, and it never happened. After a few years of crappy, minimum wage jobs, I needed to do something so I decided to go back to University, but as a Computer Science major. I graduated in 2000 and have worked at a few companies, currently in the health industry as a Programmer/Analyst. It's not something I want to do for the rest of my life. I always thought it was movies I was interested in, but it is the creation of stories where my passion lies. If I'm not writing it, I'm thinking it, over and over in my head, playing it out. I've written some short stories and one novel so far. All my short stories are free to download. |
