My First But Not My Last by Leigh Jarrett April 25, 2012 5530 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Canadian Author of M/M Erotic Romance. As a teen growing up in Vancouver, BC (Canada), Leigh Jarrett spent many hours each day discovering the stories surrounding the many characters emerging from the proverbial closet in her mind. Of course the adults called it daydreaming, but that didn’t deter her from weaving increasingly diverse storylines as she grew older. Notes were made and pictures were drawn, but none of the stories were ever written down until she received a nudge from an unlikely source. Her imaginary childhood friend, Sebastian of Cardin, became the first written character, appearing in all three books of the upcoming Circle Trilogy. Sebastian's passion for life and the beautiful men he shared it with inspired Leigh to tell his story; and that is where it all began. Come Play In My World...

Nothing teaches you more about complexity of character and story arcs than those old comic graphic novels, in my opinion. And character is a huge focus of mine. So I certainly hope you enjoy these stories and my others over at Amazon.com. You will always get an emotional and heartfelt effort from me, each and every time. Have fun! I'll let the writing speak for itself from here on out. Feel free to write me anytime at Comicality@webtv.net

Playing with Tigers; Broken by S. Hart May 18, 2012 6015 words Read a sample
Author bio:
S. Hart is a horrible soulless individual. Her bitterness is only surmounted by her passion for writing, and her attention to plot and dialogue, even if her work reads as if the reader is being thrown down a flight of stairs (Working on that.). Of the very few things she does enjoy, writing is by far the one that she indulges the most, usually putting in an eight hour day despite the lack of pay and the progressive insanity that it brings. She lives almost entirely on coffee, which she insists is a major food group, and will likely die of a caffeine overdose within the next ten minutes if her clumsiness doesn't get her first. As with many writers, she is extremely critical of her work. If not for the constant coaxing of friends, you wouldn't be reading this right now, because her work would still be sitting in the folder with the other four unpublished but completed novels that she's written in the last three years. There were more, but her unhealthy love of porn murdered the previous computer, and all were mercifully killed. Despite the nature of her most recent novel and her previously mentioned affinity for porn, most of her work is purely science fiction/fantasy based. Look for future releases from S. Hart within the year.

The Jerk: An erotic tale of self-love by Geonn Cannon March 08, 2012 20435 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Geonn Cannon was born in a barn and raised to know better than that. He was born and raised in Oklahoma where he’s been enslaved by a series of cats, dogs, two birds and one unexpected turtle. He’s spent his entire life creating stories but only became serious about it when he realized it was a talent that could impress girls. Learning to write well was easier than learning to juggle, so a career was underway. His high school years were spent writing stories among a small group of friends and reading whatever books he could get his hands on. Geonn was inspired to create the fictional Squire’s Isle after a 2004 trip to San Juan Island in Washington State. His first novel set on the island, On the Air, was written almost as a side project to another story he wanted to tell. Reception to the story was so strong that the original story was put on the back burner to deal with the world created in On the Air. His second novel set in the same universe, Gemini, was also very well received and went on to win the Golden Crown Literary Society Award for Best Novel, Dramatic/General Fiction. Geonn was the first male author to receive the honor. While some of his novels haven’t focused as heavily on Squire’s Isle, the vast majority of Geonn’s works take place in the same universe and have connections back to the island and its cast of characters (the exception being the Riley Parra series). In addition to writing more novels based on the inhabitants of Squire’s Isle, Geonn hopes to one day move to the real-life equivalent to inspire further stories. In his spare time, Geonn reads as much as possible and writes occasional TV and book reviews for Geek Speak Magazine.

The Morning Walk by Rae Smith Feb. 20, 2012 3235 words Read a sample
Author bio:
Sitting down to write this a bio freaks me out a little bit. It's like standing up in public and having to speak, and you look around the room, open your mouth to speak and all that comes out is a scratchy squeak. That’s me. I’m shy. Always have been and most likely always will be. But, anyway, here goes. I am in my forties, and I live in England with my wonderful husband, my three amazingly brilliant children, and my beloved laptop. No pets. I've been making up stories almost since I learned how to talk. When I was little, my family used to call them my ‘tall tales’ but I remained undeterred and carried on telling them, eventually writing them down when I discovered pretty notebooks and pens. I love writing. I have always enjoyed sharing my imagination with other people. And if I go long periods without writing, I get a little testy, according to my family. I started out posting my stories for free on the internet – mainly LiveJournal, but then, through the encouragement of some of my readers I decided to pursue the idea of getting published via the eBook route. My readers are some of the most loving, loyal, and awesome people. They’ve stood by me through all my doubts and worries, and kept me on track when the panic sets in. If it wasn’t for them, I’d still be dealing with an inert sense of inferiority, and be plagued with self-doubt. I like to write in a wide variety of genres and cover a host of subjects, but my heart will always be with erotic romance. There's something magical about two people (be they gay, straight, or in-between) finding each other and fighting against all odds to reach happily ever after. If my characters and their stories can touch just one other person--can take his mind off his troubles or make her day seem just a little bit brighter--then I feel like I've done something important.

The Second Oldest Profession by Paul Dyer Nov. 28, 2011 16667 words Read a sample
Author bio:
I graduated with a master’s degree in English and Critical Theory from Pepperdine University, Malibu, where I also worked for several years as a Humanities Discussion Leader and a Writing Center Tutor. Then, while pursuing my writing, I worked at a video store that specialized in out-of-print, hard-to-find, art house, and adult films. I’ve even worked for the Catholic church, but that’s another novel. I like genre fiction, but even here I tend to interject social commentary and critique. I once quipped to a friend that the best novel for me would be a series of Platonic dialogs (relating to contemporary social issues), liberally interspersed with subversive pornography. Without loss of character and story. I’m still fumbling my way toward this literary ideal.
