	Poetry In Emotion	by Tracy Arkell Jan. 11, 2012	$10.00	3408 words	Sample 5%
	Author bio: I started out as a submissive in the BDSM lifestyle and eventually grew to be a slave. I have done the leather lifestyle, gorean, D/s, M/s and everything in between. I do not do vanilla, but I do expand my horizons by trying new things and if it is something I like, then I add it to my list of things I want to do. I started my first novel, which is now finished two years later and have now published a children's book. I have poems that are on poetry.com and they were published in their books, including the audiobooks. Ask me anything and if I feel it is too personal, I'll let you know. I am currently working on novel number 2 and possibly a third. I am also going to put all my poems into one book and hope that I can publish them as well.

	She Wasn't Allowed to Giggle	by Lavinia Thompson Sep. 28, 2011	$2.99	22884 words	Sample 10%
	Author bio: I am a 22 year-old hippie who is just discovering what life really is. My heart is entrenched in novel writing. I am pursuing a dream of being a full-time novelist. It's the beginning of a journey that I have always dreamed of. I have risen from a dark childhood of domestic violence. I faced that monster in my closet and am now writing about it. I watched my mother be tortured for almost ten years. I stood before the remnants of the house her ex burned down in a drunken rage. I lived with the aftermaths and the damage it did in the years that followed. Now, I am chasing dreams and living my life to the fullest.Through my writing I want to be an advocate for domestic violence and child abuse, to speak out and be a voice. I am engaged to a wonderful man I met while working on the college newspaper. I am a journalism grad, a journalist, a sister younger and older, a daughter to a survivor of a mother and my angel daddy, a niece and a soon-to-be wife. I have been writing since I could put a pencil to paper it seems. My first writings were short stories rewriting fairy tales in ways I envisioned them to play out. Poetry was something that intrigued me in junior high school. An interest in Shakespeare came in high school when I attended an outreach school in grades 11 and 12. I was permitted to study on my own and got to drift around with different areas on top of the curriculum already in place. Shakespeare and forensics became the two main things I studied there. It was through Shakespeare's MacBeth and an essay assignment that I got interested in the witch hunts and trials of the 16th and 17th centuries, igniting the idea for the Spellbound series. In 2011, I set a goal. After graduating from college, I set out to publish two of my books. One is my poetry book about domestic violence and child abuse, "She Wasn't Allowed to Giggle" and the other is the first in a series, "Spellbound by Fire." My poetry book was self-published back in September and "Spellbound" was published in December. With that goal out of the way, I am setting my sights once again on my journalism career while trying to make it big with publishing my books.
