	Preserved Ginger	by Barry Johnstone Jan. 31, 2012	$4.99	65157 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: I got divorced from my first wife, (Sheila) in 1986, who then (sadly) died on July the 28th, 008.I got married again in 1993. My daughter Emily died on September 11th 1998 (there is absolutely nothing in the human experience that messes up your head more than loosing a child!) which is why I have complete sympathy for people trying to live in places like Iraq or Iran etc. As if loosing Emily wasn’t enough, my step-daughter Lauren died May 10th 2009! The only thing positive about these awful and tragic events is that ones attitudes are sharpened, re-defined and made more definite. Not necessarily militant, abrasive and opiniated! I’ve now retired from the NZSO (September 2007) and after 40 years of playing the double-bass sitting in front of the loudest trombone section in the known universe - no longer play anything! Through-out my career in the NZSO, I have composed music. Now that I have retired, I can devote more time to this addictive and challenging pursuit (an activity that gives me great pleasure) and this does NOT mean that what I compose is of any great shakes. I write music only for the sheer hell of it, and generally only for me. I have not formally studied i.e. counter-point or anything, so what I write tends to be quite vertical and quite boring, however, like anything else, it’s much easier to judge on what it isn’t, rather than what it is. The other thing is that I don’t actually care what is thought of any music that I may compose, because I’m only concerned with the very first stage of the process – that of actually writing it! (I have to reiterate – I’m only writing for me) If it’s any good – fine. If it isn’t any good – equally fine!

Life on the financial front became very tough. Despite many difficulties, Howard gained a place at Newcastle upon Tyne in an era when universities took only 5% of his peer group. His parents divorced and if all that was not sufficient, at the end of his first university year he was told that his father had committed suicide. According to modern convention, Howard McKay should have been a dysfunctional failure. Marrying soon after university and becoming a father at the age of twenty three, life remained austere.

An acrimonious divorce followed, however his new life as a single man would lead on to much fun and adventure, not to mention a money making business. Howard had been given a guitar at the age of eleven as a reward for passing the entrance exam to Grammar School. He soon became an adept player and this, coupled with his singing talent led on to regular gigs at pubs and social events in Hong Kong.

	Dirty Poole: A Sensual Memoir	by Wakefield Poole April 23, 2011	$7.99	103322 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Wakefield Poole (born 1936) is best known for his classy, visionary hardcore gay erotic films Boys in the Sand (1971) and Bijou (1972), which started the "porno chic" trend a year before Deep Throat was released. Few people know that Poole was a member of the corps de ballet in the waning years of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, and then went on to a successful career as a dancer, choreographer, and director on TV, Broadway, and the West End, working with theater legends Stephen Sondheim, Richard Rodgers, Noel Coward, Jerome Robbins, Ethel Merman, Gwen Verdon, and many more. In 1971, after seeing a typical example of gay porn, Poole asked himself why someone couldn't make one that wasn't sleazy and depressing. Then he set out to do just that. With a wind-up 16mm camera and the barely known actor Cal Culver (who took the name Casey Donovan), Poole and a small group of friends shot Boys in the Sand over several weekends in the Fire Island Pines, off the coast of Long Island. He released the film as if it were a legitimate mainstream movie, putting his own name above the title, doing press screenings, and advertising in the New York Times. Overnight, Boys in the Sand became an enormous financial success and Poole's theater career abruptly ended. He followed Boys in the Sand with the ambitious and technically dazzling film Bijou, which was also a hit with audiences and critics. Giddy with success, Poole put all his money into a project that he hoped would be his mainstream calling card, a nudity-filled straight version of Bible stories re-imagined from the woman's point of view. Visually sumptuous and unlike anything else film goers in the early 1970s had ever seen, Wakefield Poole's Bible was a flop—-rejected by both gay and straight audiences. In 1974, Poole left New York for the burgeoning gay mecca of San Francisco. He co-owned and operated the influential retail store/gallery/hair salon Hot Flash of America, was friends with Harvey Milk, and continued to make unique and successful erotic films, until he began a downward spiral into drug addiction. After a cocaine-fueled attempt at a Broadway comeback, Poole bottomed out, went cold turkey, and cleaned himself up. He eventually graduated from the French Culinary Institute at age 50 and became a successful corporate chef. He retired in 2003 and now lives a quiet life in northern Florida. He published his autobiography, Dirty Poole, in 2000, and it will be re-issued in a new edition in 2011. Poole has also appeared in a number of documentaries, including Ballet Russe, When Ocean Meets Sky, and That Man: Peter Berlin.

	The Israelite and Your Freedoms	by Bob Cornell Feb. 19, 2011	$3.99	30669 words	Sample 15%
	Author bio: This is a comprehensive biography of: Robert W. Cornell ( Bob) 4401 Pinetree Close Cumming, GA 30041 (770) 781-9613 bobwcornell@comcast.net After attending and graduating from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Animal Science in 1961 I chose to become a Technical Representative for W.H. Curtin . W. H. Cutin was a distributor of laboratory apparatus and chemicals. I discovered shortly that Technical Representative was short for salesman in the dialogue of this company, so I began to “push” balances, where much to my surprise I became the leading salesman. I remained with the company until 1970 (61-70) and then entered the field of real estate. I had been told that I would accumulate a vast fortune. Upon spending $10,000.00 and seeing no fortune in sight, I founded my own company in 1972. This company was Jasper Janitorial Services which transformed approximately 15 years thereafter into C/F Janitorial Services. The latter specializes in the restoration (in other words-stripping and waxing)and maintenance of resilient tile flooring. ( the kind of flooring you see in most grocery stores and drug stores). C/F is a small company having only one employee. The following may sound self-serving, but I recently retired from C/F to devote the majority of my time to writing. In view of my lack of knowledge and the access others had to information in this field I began writing in 1996. My research was rather comprehensive and I finally introduced “Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Resilient Tile, But Were Afraid To Ask”. I have self published this work and have sold about 2 dozen copies. Needless to say, the effort on my first work got me “hooked” on writing. Writing is hard work, but I love it. I have written columns for local newspapers, The Forsyth County News, The Forsyth County Forum , and the North Georgia Star. The latter of which I became a columnist. I attend church . (my wife calls me a CE special)!! She sees me attend only on Christmas and Easter. I am married ( 49 years ) and have two great daughters who have given us three wonderful grandchildren. My interests other than writing are 1) inventing stuff for which I have been issued 5 patents 2) collecting VHS videos of which I have approximately 900 3) reading and 4) playing the drums.

	From Prussia to Russia to North America: 300 Years	by Stanley Harder July 29, 2010	$6.95	47089 words	Sample 20%
	Author bio: Growing up in the multi-cultural "melting pot" of Minnesota gave me a great appreciation for the different viewpoints of other ethnic groups. What I didn't acquire until much later was an appreciation for my own "faith" heritage. Having managed several bookstores for a number of years gave me a great opportunity to see the impact that books can have on a person's life. It also gave me an itch to write. Meeting authors such as Bodie Thoene at the annual Christian Bookseller's Convention made writing seem, somehow, more accessible. In the mid 1990's I began gathering information on my family tree. Amazingly, I soon had thousands of individuals in the database, all related to me somehow. Many of the lists came from other relatives who also had begun the same quest to gather their family trees. Discussing this intriguing finding with my boss on one occasion, he suggested I write a book about the family heritage I was beginning to discover. That lead to the "small" project of writing a 10-15 page story of our family which quickly became a research project of its own. You are looking at the 3rd revision of that project. I am currently in the process of writing a novel built around the early period of our family history, using fictitious characters but attempting to assemble the real living conditions and environment they lived in. The outcome I hope will be an insightful journey into the world they lived in. I will post more information about forthcoming books on my website as it develops. Stay tuned.

	Author bio: I write a mix of books: novels, biography, short nonfiction. I set my novels in Toronto, my home for most of my life, a city of contradictions and ripe with conflict possibilities. My debut book, LIFELINER, is set in Ontario, but also travels down to New York and across the pond to Sweden. My life is one big question mark, has been ever since I sustained a closed head injury (or mild traumatic brain injury or concussion, whichever moniker is fashionable) in a four-car collision. But my writing keeps me grounded, my photography takes me to other places. When I'm not writing, reading, taking photographs, I'm hunting for good coffee and sensational chocolate.
