Imagine if you woke up from a coma with no memory of the last 20 years? Imagine your mind is reset to when you were 18. Would you be able to reconcile where you are now? Serendipity's Sting is a tale of discovery. A man's quest to find himself and to uncover what happened to his dreams. Beginning in London this book takes us on a journey of self discovery and enlightenment.
Author bio:
A.C. Ping has traveled the World and lived in Australia, the UK, USA and Africa. He is the author of 8 books including the trilogy of personal development books BE, DO and FAITH that have been published internationally and translated into 11 different languages. Now available in E book form is the second 'experiential' trilogy of books 'A Place Where You May Find Peace', 'Release Your Fear' and 'The Self Mastery Toolbox'. "I've read all three of A. C. Ping's books in this "series": BE, DO, and FAITH. Now, I am going to re-read them all and try to put what I've learned into daily practice. Not that Ping is trying to give you 5 easy steps to enlightenment or anything like that... rather, he provides clarity and insight on many of the things that hold you back and drag you down, and points the way toward a healing, all-encompassing kind of faith--not limited to a particular religion or religion in particular. What makes Ping's voice so unique: He walks a tightrope above New-Age, Pseudo-Science, and Religion... but walks the tightrope exceedingly well. He never falls into the safety net of what has already been said a million times in a million self-help books. His voice is fresh without being trendy or commercial. He spices things up with the occasional curse word or two. He's down-to-earth, witty, and doesn't try to be your guru. He's more like a great friend who offers wonderful perspective and insight without coming across as a flawless, know-it-all. So rare!! I recommend these books highly! Start with BE, follow up with DO, and then feel the refreshing healing in FAITH. You won't regret it!" Review on Amazon.com For more information about A.C. Ping and the work he does with individuals and organizations, visit the website www.acping.net

Postcards From My Mind is the first collection of my own personal poetry and song lyrics written over a ten year span from 1996-2006. They explore the vast range of emotions felt through the late teen years and into the twenty-something age. Anybody can relate to what I have written.
Author bio:
My name is Christopher Setterlund and I was born and raised on Cape Cod. Being the oldest of five siblings, and coming from a large family mixed of many different nationalities, I enjoyed hearing the stories my elder relatives would tell. I was a born storyteller from the time I was eight years old and writing tales of adventures that my friends and I would take. As time went on my passion changed to film and producing, even going to college with the intention of becoming a film director. Still, throughout all of my time making my own home movies with my friends it was the stories that I enjoyed creating the most. Nothing is better for me than creating your own world or characters and bringing them to life. After losing interest in directing I spent much of my twenties writing poetry that described my world and emotions surrounding it, it was quite a growing experience to be able to open my heart but also do it in a concise and interesting way. Eventually I wanted to try my hand at taking the chains off of my mind and creating a full-length story complete with many interesting characters and a great plot. Second Coming was that story and since then I have never looked back. My biggest hope for all of you that choose to read my books is that you will be able to lose yourself in the world I create; sights, sounds, and emotions. Much the same as I did with my poetry I do not limit myself in one specific genre of writing; I want my words to reach as many people as possible and realize that different people like different types of stories. I believe that there is something for everyone in my collection, and if there is not keep checking back because I have many more books to come in the coming months and years. Thank you for taking a chance on my books, you will not be disappointed.

Then their mutual lifelong struggles with unresolved lies send the men back to Vietnam in a desperate search for answers.

Book description. This collection includes 226 poetic flash fiction pieces written in 2010. Poetic flash fiction is a genre I named to suit my work written in poetic form, but to me they seem to be flash fiction. Genres are formed by conventions that change over time as new genres are invented. Some writing fits into more than one by borrowing and recombining existing genres.

Heartbreak Hotel (A Tribute to the King in Verse) by Jeremy Reed Heartbreak Hotel (A Tribute to the King in Verse) by Jeremy Reed April 21, 2012 $5.99 35245 words Sample 2%
Heartbreak Hotel (A Tribute to the King in Verse) tells the Elvis story in verse. The author, Jeremy Reed, is one of the UK's most prolific contemporary poets.
Author bio:
Jeremy Reed, born on a chip of rock off the French Normandy coast has been for decades Britain’s most dynamic, adventurous, controversial and futures poet. Called by the Independent ‘British poetry’s glam, spangly, shape-shifting answer to David Bowie’, his poetry, fiction and performances of his work are singularly inimitable in their opposition to grey mainstream poetry. He has published over 50 books of poetry, fiction and non-fiction, winning prestigious literary prizes like the Somerset Maugham Award, and was on his coming to live in London in the 1980s patronised by the artist Francis Bacon. His biggest fans are Pete Doherty and Bjork who has called his work ‘the most beautiful, outrageously brilliant poetry in the world.’ Jeremy writes about every subject that British poetry considers taboo, glamour, pop, rock, sci-fi, cyber, mutant, gay, drugs, neuroscientific, the disaffected and outlawed, and the fizzy big city chemistry of the London in which he lives and creates. His performances solo, or with The Ginger Light are unrivalled in intensity. In recent years he has published the first book-length poem on Elvis Presley, Heartbreak Hotel; Saint Billie (Enitharmon) a book-length poem on Billie Holiday; Orange Sunshine an epic poem on 1960s pop culture; Duck and Sally Inside and This is How You Disappear (both Enitharmon), a book of elegies for dead and missing friends; a biography of Anna Kavan: Stranger On Earth; a biography of Lou Reed: Waiting For the Man; a novel: Here Comes the Nice (Peter Owen); and a book of poetry, Piccadilly Bongo which contains a 4 track CD from the singer Marc Almond. Amongst his many other publications are John Stephen: King of Carnaby Street and the 1960s look and a book of sci-fi poems: West End Survival Kit (with an introduction by J.G. Ballard). He works and performs with musician Itchy Ear as The Ginger Light and is available for private parties, functions, corporate events, fashion launches, festivals and London spectaculars. 'Jeremy Reed is a legend. What more can you fucking ask?' Pete Doherty 'Jeremy Reed's talent is almost extraterrestrial in its brilliance. He is Rimbaud reconfigured as the Man who fell to Earth, a visitor from deep space whose time machine was designed by Lautreamont and de Sade, and powered by the most exotic fuels the imagination has ever devised.' J.G. Ballard 'In its detail and ambition alone, Orange Sunshine confirms Reed's place as a great lyric poet of pop's shadow.' Michael Bracewell 'The most beautiful, outrageously brilliant poetry in the world.' Bjork 'When Patti Smith meets Rimbaud at Graceland, the result is Jeremy Reed's Heartbreak Hotel.' Edmund White 'Jeremy Reed is the real definition of British poetry now and deserves to be worshipped himself.' Richard Hell 'One of the most original virtuoso voices to be heard in the poetry of our time.' Lawrence Ferlinghetti 'The man is light worlds apart from his contemporaries in poetry.' Andrew Loog Oldham 'Reed's poetry is full of rich and careful writing, dense with pleasure in words that pleasure the world and waken us to its lovely surprises.' Seamus Heaney.

Hi. My name is Terry Trainor and I write poems. Many many years ago the news ripped through the London Workhouses, Through all Bethnel-green, Spitalfields and through the Minories, Along Tower-hill and up to Shoreditch and Clerkenwell, To the very purlieus of the Seven Dials, and across the water in Southwark, Important news spread from ear to ear, overheard in chop houses, and cabs, Blackberries are ripe, and there are mushrooms in the forest turf. Like an electric thrill, it has darted far and wide, high and low, In the great workshops, whether sweating over a hot iron, or folding, Steaming dye-houses and hatteries or darting the shuttle amongst silken threads, The bread moulders, or makers of coffins for the dead, or their nails, To the farmers, the boys that roam the streets, and the hags in alleys, Everywhere there is just one thought, the blackberries are ripe.

I love good science fiction and deplore the bad. I write science fiction novels, and I hope no one deplores them. My novels are marketed online, on TV, and in the newspapers. My marriage is great, and my wife's name is Lou Ann. We have four sons who are grown and gone. We live in Las Vegas, Nevada. But we don't gamble - too smart for that. I play tennis - mediocre. I love sci fi movies, but my wife doesn't, so I have to go by myself. (She did like "Iron Man".) Although I love to write, I had to find a profession which would support me and my family---I was a Chiropractic physician for 29 years. I hope things are going well for you. We need more peace and love in the world - violence needs to stay in fiction.

My Biosphere My name is Ian, in England born My father’s from the islands, my mum’s from that shore My youth was spent fleeing xenophobic bores. I traveled to Athens and Timbuktu I bathed in Alhambra, Granada too I could never shake my brooding school. My American wife dragged me here My stepdaughter in toe, a brand new sphere My opposition to the states to five years to clear. I started again, from scratch in haste I stared to relearn a new verb, chase I started to learn a new action, waste. My endeavors were positive though painfully slow My dues well paid, eventually did grow My overnight success took many moons to glow. I now serve the public civil and clean I now work the markets and international scene I now have great credit and a labyrinth machine. My writing before covered prose and essay My heroes are Baldwin, Sojinka and Sesay My novel attempts include travel and jazzy. I read like a fish that swims in the night I spend more on books than I have such a right I meditate, cool out, and stay UN-Tight. My dreams are to learn the heart of the word My hopes are to chase that winged bird My endeavors I pray are to teach and be heard. I live in Oakland, city caught in a lie I dwell in environs of many colored eyes I inhabit a space of love and deep sighs. My time here now is eight years plus My memories of home are short and cussed My life’s irony is to be an English fuss.
