	The Knowing Gene	by Robert Lange Aug. 30, 2010	$4.50	73577 words	Sample 50%
	Author bio: Thank you so much for visiting my author page and your interest in 'The Knowing Gene'. This is my debut novel and I have to say I'm humbled beyond words from the feedback I've received from readers. Although it took me many years to write due to suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, 'The Knowing Gene' seems to have already developed a loyal following. Feedback has been universally positive with two comments in particular almost always made: 'Wow, that would make an awesome movie!' and 'When will the sequel be out?', usually followed immediately by 'I want it NOW!' Readers have quickly identified with the characters, plot, and subtext and have found the book very enjoyable, regardless of their age or gender. OK, so a couple small typos made it through... but the story is great! We'll get page 257 fixed soon! As for me, I grew up on a farm outside of Charlottesville, Virginia and currently reside in the mountains of North Carolina, although Newfoundland is having a very strong draw on me. Forced to leave the corporate world in 2003 after suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I turned my creative energy to writing. Although taking over four years, I was able to produce this first work as my physical and cognitive energy allowed. I'm very grateful to my dear friend Gail Westover at Thistlewood Publishing for starting her business and providing me an outlet for my creativity. I graduated from Virginia Tech, have two children, and wish I could find worthy backgammon opponents a little more often. The sequel to The Knowing Gene, 'From Under The Radar', will hopefully (health permitting) be available early 2011. Please visit The Knowing Gene's page on facebook.com and leave your comments. Comments on review sites are encouraged and greatly appreciated. A portion of the author proceeds from the sale of my books are donated to the CFIDS Association of America to help find a cure.

The authors very kindly described me as being 'amongst the best writers of language learner materials in English.’ I have also written for Ming Pao Daily and IATEFL Voices.

My websites feature in Tips for Teaching with Call (2008, Pearson/Longman). I live in Bristol with my wife, daughter and two cats. I'm lucky enough to teach in Bath, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Bristol is very special, too, even if it does rain occasionally!

	Peace River Runaway	by Rushton Woodside Aug. 14, 2010	$2.99	57919 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Born right at the mid-twentieth century point in Atlanta, still a sleepy southern city at that time. My mother's bookcase was filled with classics and I read them all before I was twelve, and re-read many. Steinbeck, Faulkner, Hemmingway and the like. For most of my life I have always had an active book going, if not two or three. I wrote a lot of poetry as a teen, and then progressed to songs once I learned to play the piano and guitar. After a successful eight years writing computer programs and technical documentation I entered book retail, and stayed there for nearly twenty years. I read good books to know how to write, and read bad books on purpose to know how not to write. I wrote Sarasota Bay in 2003-4 on impulse and it was published locally with great success. It was then that I got serious and studied many books on the craft.

We travelled the world together and have now lived the last twenty-eight years in Perth, Western Australia. We have an amazing son and daughter and I work with people in vocational training and career development.

A physician by training, traveler and rebel by temperament, Dr. Modzelewski practiced medicine in multiple countries of Europe, Africa and North America until he traded his scalpel for a pen in 2006. Since then, he uses his exotic experiences and unorthodox ideas as the raw materials for thrillers and adventure books, short stories and articles.

Apart from his signature captivating action, an emphasis on independent thinking is the common thread running through his writings; the conventional notions—whether they concern maternal love and patriotism or drug dealing and prostitution— need to be stress-tested, he seems to believe. He lives in Hawaii now, writing, paddling the ocean and arguing his unusual ideas.

	Gambit For Love of a Queen	by Kat Jaske Jul. 29, 2010	$7.99	182409 words	Sample 40%
	Author bio: Bonjour. I’m Kat Jaske. Las Vegas resident––well more precisely Henderson, Nevada, which is right next door • Runner – Helped my crosscountry team win the 1990 Ohio state championship (5-K race). I’m even more proud of the next year when our team placed fourth, but I ran a personal best State Course time of a little over 19 and a half minutes. • Fencer – Yes, with swords, especially sabers. You know, the musketeer thing. Or Zorro. • Singer • Active in church • Love my black cat, Minnesota • Writer – Historical fiction, science fiction, fantasy, poems, articles, all sorts of items for students and parents Many of my ideas for writing or teaching come to me when I am running. Unfortunately, I can’t carry a journal with me, so I have to wait until I finish, walk in the door, and then grab a pencil and paper, or a computer, and put them down. I have always loved reading and writing, voraciously. Mom’s favorite story is about the time she had to punish me for something (which I am probably innocent of doing) by saying, “No reading. Do not go to your room. Sit here and watch TV.” I hated TV. Writing takes passion (a love of words in my opinion) and when you have that passion, it permeates everything. Word scrambles and other word games and puzzles and other thinking games are “cool”. I graduated from Wake Forest University in Winston Salem, N.C. in three and a half years with a double major in English and Psychology. After working two years and saving every penny I could, I headed to France and spent two years studying there. Then returned to the U.S. to work a couple years before attending UNLV where I finished my Masters of Education and teaching certificate. Now I spend time teaching my students the finer points of the French language and culture, and encouraging them to read and write.

	Author bio: I had always been a natural storyteller and voracious book reader. It had always been my wish to become an author, but life and family dictated that my job one was to provide for them as best I could. Then, quite recently, I sat in front of my computer and words literally came pouring out and many books where written in just about every genre. At first I used my writing mostly for self entertainment, until I discovered Smashwords, and here I am, a published author with a long list of many more to come. I live in Los Angeles, California, have been married for umpteen years, and have two children.
