A. Colin Wright (acolinwright) | 29 comments I'll probably get this when it's available on Amazon and I can put it together with others to save on shipping costs. My uncle was an observer/bomb aimer in the RAF, killed in 1943, and I'm thinking of using him in my next novel: thus I'll be interested in your experiences.

Yours,
A. Colin Wright,

Mary Nickum | 5 comments Mom's Story, A Child Learns About MS.

Mom’s Story; A Child Learns About MS tells the story of a young girl who sees her mother with some frightening health problems and learns she has MS but she will not die from it. This book is a compassionate, accessible and easy to understand account of symptoms, search for help, diagnosis and adaptation to this heart-wrenching disease. Amy fears the worst, which is common when one is confronted by the unknown. Her best friend, Kayla, doesn’t quite understand why Amy is so worried. Amy’s older sister, Kelly is concerned and does her best to help, while older brother, Tony, tries to deny the whole situation. Information is the key to allaying much of her fear along with understanding from parents, adult friends and her older sister.

Christa I am excited that my debut novel "Love of a Stonemason" was just released this year. It's available as ebook and paperback on Amazon and Smashwords. Here is a brief introduction:

Love of a Stonemason by Christa Polkinhorn

The young painter, Karla Bocelli, is no stranger to loss. When she was five years old, her mother died in a car crash in the south of Switzerland. Her Peruvian father lives at the other end of the world, and a year ago, her aunt and guardian passed away. Now, at age twenty-four, Karla almost gets hit by a speeding car. As if this wasn't fateful enough, Andreas, the driver, turns out to be a sculptor and carver of tombstones. In spite of his profession, Andreas is anything but morbid. Quick-tempered and intense, he exudes a rough-and-tumble energy. After a tumultuous start of their relationship, Karla comes to see in Andreas the "rock in her life," the perfect antidote to her fears of abandonment and bouts of depression. Andreas, however, wrestles with his own ghosts: an alcoholic father who abused him as a child and his own fits of anger. Together, the two artists must confront the demons that haunt them.
"Love of a Stonemason" is a story about the struggle of two artists with their past, their family, their creativity, and their love for each other. Told from the point of view of Karla, it depicts the world through her painter's sensibility. It takes the reader on a journey full of sights, smells, tastes, and sounds from the south of Switzerland to Italy and the Peruvian Andes.

message 15: by Marc (new)

Marc (authorguy) | 19 comments I'll be having a string of releases over the next few months. My short story 'Bite Deep', a vampire Christmas carol, was just released last week. I wrote a steampunk holiday story because my publisher made the mistake of asking for one. No date when that one comes out but it's a holiday story so I expect it to be fast-tracked. In January I'll have a linked pair, a comic short story called 'Chasing His Own Tale 2: Struck By Inspiration' and a novel, St. Martin's Moon, which is a werewolf adventure set on a lunar colony. Following them are two other short stories, 'Ex Libris' and 'Undermind', but there're no definite dates on those.

message 19: by Julie (new)

Julie Weinstein (julieannw) | 2 comments I'm the author of the new magic realism, paranormal collection, Flashes from the Other World.

Magic without the hocus pocus, these
stories explore the ethereal blur between
reality and not, between dream and sleep,
between love and other than love. They
present relationships with a tender
wackiness. Tossed into the mix are
mischievous ghosts, who give the talking
plants and even the seductive and vocal
grains of sand a run for their money.
Quirky and offbeat, these stories will
touch your heart, although they may tug at
your funny bone first. Flashes from the Other World by Julie Ann Weinstein

Shannon Alder Hi!

My book is out this year titled, 300 Questions to Ask Your Parents Before It's Too Late.

It's an excellent book to give to a parent as a gift so they can record their life in and give back to you to read and pass onto your children.

Mirvan. Ereon (mirvanereon) | 7 comments Hello everyone. I am John Marvin Enore. I have written three poetry collections. they are all sad erotic gay poetry. If you're interested with my books, please send me a message and i can give you a sampler. The tiles are CYPHILIA, ARGELLIUS REX and L'AMOUR DE MOI. I'll be waiting. I will soon give out a free ebook of my short novella entitled The Suicide Pact. It is about how the world was created, why do we die, what horrors did God's children unleashed into this Earth, why suicides get a second chance to live, a failed abortion, cannibalism, violence and someone jumping out of the window. The first person who will give me a review will get a pdf version of one of my poetry collections.
