	Author bio: Brand Smit is a freelance writer, part-time teacher and since 2006, master of a wide variety of websites. Born in Pretoria in 1971, Brand traversed South Africa with his family for the next 15 years. He graduated from high school in 1989, as fate would have it, back in Pretoria. He then continued his training for life as a productive adult at the University of Pretoria, before heading south a year later. After five years of learning and thinking he followed the only path that seemed reasonable after thinking about it. Two years in South Korea had him yearning for the country of his birth. He returned, worked in Johannesburg for six months, and then left again – this time for the shores of the beautiful island of Taiwan. He has called the southern port city of Kaohsiung home ever since.

	Follow Me: Poetry from the Heart and Soul	by Tammy Dennings Maggy Dec. 31, 2011	$3.99	12175 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: After a nearly 19 year career as a veterinarian, I decided it was time to pursue another dream of mine.

	Unveiling	by Raihanaty A Jalil Dec. 28, 2011	$1.99	6767 words	Sample 31%
	Author bio: A question I get asked all the time is, "Where are you from?" My response is usually as follows, "I was born in Malaysia, but my parents are both from Indonesia, but I've been in Australia since I was three... so I guess I'm confused!" But I suppose what has become clear with time, and what is even backed up by the results from two Facebook quizzes I completed is that, I'm "not even Asian" and I am very much a "Dinki-Di-Aussie"! Though life has thrown its fair challenges at me, overall, I must say that I have truly been blessed with so much. I've completed a Bachelors Degree in Education and Science, majoring in Education, Chemistry and Pure Mathematics; I've had a short-lived career as a high school Maths and Science teacher; I've had an amazing and spiritually fulfilling four-year-long career as a youth worker; and now finally, I am embarking on this new journey pursuing my passions as a Poet and Writer. There is a lot more I could say, however, one of my good friends, Latifa, perhaps said it best when she described, "...I’m discovering Raihanaty is more of an ‘onion’ than you will know. The layers just keep coming! But that, I suppose, is the mystery behind this woman."

	Love Tolls The Bell	by Conrad Lovelle Oct. 20, 2011	$1.99	2884 words	Sample 5%
	Author bio: Conrad Lovelle spent his early years in a small town rich with cultural diversity. In difficult times during his childhood young Conrad learned to escape through reading and fantasy. Eventually his storybook readings merged with friends' accounts of far-off lands and a Romantic was born. Conrad's taste outgrew the confinement and simplicity of the small isolated town and at age 15 he answered the call of his wanderlust, leaving home with just $12 in his pocket to hitch-hike 1000 miles to the nearest West-coast city. Those seeds of his childhood led him to many cultures and into many homes and hearts along the way. Writing romantically (sometimes with impish delight) to express his own feelings and experiences was an early passion for Conrad and throughout the years he has written about love and life's processes; about events that have occurred and encounters that have endured, and those that have faded away.

	From Within	by LaFreddie B Sep. 17, 2011	$9.99	9378 words	Sample 5%
	Author bio: A native of Clarendon, Arkansas my family migrated to Milwaukee, Wisconsin after my parents separated in 1988. I grew up in what was considered the worse part of the inner city in the early 90's. In school, I was always considered a good student but I hated English. I hated everything about it, reading novels, writing essays and term papers. I especially hated the while adjective/adverb thing. And being an author was never on my list of "when I grow" things. However, even when I felt that I didn't understand anything in my English and Literature classes, I'd always surprise myself with B's and C's when I thought I would get D's and F's. After graduating from Washington High School in 2000, I went on to University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff to major in Business Administration. I returned home at the end of my first semester to be with my family after they stuffed a house fire Thanksgiving weekend. I entered the work force at 19 full time in hopes of one day returning to college to complete my degree. It was while I was at work one day that the author bug bit me. When I first starting writing Long Distance Relations I never thought that it would morph into a book. It was just busy work, something to help pass the time on those long boring days that I had little to no work to do. After printing it out and sticking in a box for years with little to no intention of publishing it, I ran across it after the real story behind LDR changed. After spending some time reflecting on that story and how the real life story turned out, I realized that this was a story that so many people can relate to. I self published with a print-on-demand company in September 2009. Now after a lot of dissatisfaction with that experience, I'm currently in the process of republishing LDR on my own with prayers of building my own publishing empire helping others achieve their dream of adding "published author" to their resume.

En el 2010 publiqué mi primera colección de poesía a nivel independiente por Lulú.

En mi segunda obra, Nunca es tarde para decir Te Quiero, introduzco una colección de poesías con nombres y apellidos y una historia un poco novelesca sobre las relaciones amorosas que no resultan tan amorosas. Empecé a escribir a los 17 años, escribí canciones para grupos de Rock mexicano por algún tiempo y de ahí el gran salto al ensayo, la escritura libre, la descripción y finalmente la poesía y la obra. En este espacio Wattpad además de promocionar mis obras y buscar contactos editoriales iré actualizando una de mis obras inconclusas: Severino Madero, que quedará dispuesta a todos los lectores y afiliados de manera exclusiva y gratuita. Puedes encontrar también otra parte de mi obra en mi podcast: www.larevelacion.net | La revelación del Alebrije. Gracias y espero que me encuentren por aquí pronto. Gustavo Rivera

Professor of English at Newman University, Bryan grew up watching classic horror movies and dreaming of becoming a comic book artist. He remains conflicted about choosing a tenure-track job over a chance to be an extra in Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks, but is comforted by several facts: the first person to be abducted in Aliens is named Dietrich, the composer for the original Mummy was named Dietrich, and the Kecksburg UFO incident occurred in December of 1965, just before Bryan was born. Further inferences are welcome. Bryan lives in Wichita, Kansas with his wife Gina and their son, Nick.
