In Heaven, there is infrastructure where people have jobs based on their abilities, such as JHAD (Joint Human Analysis Directorate) where talented signal analysts track murderers for God. And Gandhi opened an all-you-can-eat buffet soon after coming home. All those years of fasting, you see. The side we can't see has rules...all Belgians are sex offenders, the French automatically go to Hell for being - well, French. And Swedes always have a job waiting for them in Heaven when they die. They invented the Volvo, after all. Heaven is a place where God has a three-legged, one-eyed dog named Lucky, and believes that mankind's greatest accomplishments are the Volkswagen Beetle and Tab. On a more somber side, God also believes three things are always worth fighting for - Love, Children and Peace of Mind....and He's bone-cancer serious about the children. Harm a child and you'll find yourself thrown into the Poison Well - the black hole prison in Hell. Count on it. Coming soon: 'Poison Well' and 'She is My anger'

Author bio: I am Scottish, born in Edinburgh, and spent the first 41 years of my life, not far from my fair and bonnie "Athens of the North". I now live in Topeka, Kansas, with my wife (bless her), no pets (don't like 'em), no children (all moved out), and with many gallons of home-made wine bubbling as I write. My biggest acheivement to date (apart from the successful parenting of my darling daughter) is my published novel; "Opportunities: Jamie Leith in Darien." I'm not confined by genres, having equal success in Historical adventure, Sci Fi, Fantasy, Horror and hard hitting gritty crime. I watch far too much football (Don't even think of calling it 'soccer'.) and at times chase a dimpled ball along carefully manicured countryside, with a collection of calibrated, graphite-shafted sticks. I play guitar and sing in a folk/rock band, and would love to have enough money to tour the world's archeological sites until I'm too old to walk. I love to write, and enjoy literary challenges of all kinds. My blog is; http://www.jamieleith.blogspot.com My website is; http://www.jamieleith.com Thank you for your time. Ian.

The Stars	by John Blandly Jan. 12, 2012	$0.99	1417 words	Sample 30%
John Blandly, actor, artist--astronomer? What the--? Okay, he has made some discoveries he'd like to share. The fossil of that clam--why was that created? How about those excess galaxies? Why do we need them? Here are statistics about the relationships of some planets' polar tilts, rotational locks, and Alpha Centauri.
Author bio: Generous small literary publications on rare occasions published my stories. Some are in "Short Stories Online," an ebook here. Like any writer, I depend on the kindness of strangers. "The Drip Theory" is included in a new ebook, "The Stars." I came up with the "Drip Theory" I don't know when, but when I mentioned it to a few people, they thought it was wild. I'm afraid to mention it to respected astronomers, who I come into contact regularly, and who already think I'm in deep space. "The Volunteers" was originally published in "Studio" (Australia). I love Australia and hope some day to visit there. South America too. Here's a link to a new short film, please forgive me: it's called "John Blandly eBooks" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvMuExUS61M&feature=related here's another one" "Parents Weekend" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLLqGAxWAAA&list=UUqSJRvokev5kxqWNfYczwCQ&index=2&feature=plcp Love stories--that's what I like in a book or a movie. Some love stories here are "Girlfriends Lost," and "The Volunteers." There may be others. Sci Fi alert! Man your battle stations! Or woman them, whatever you want. I have always been interested in astronomy. I get new books almost every year (almanacs), since there are always new discoveries. "The Meddlers," and "Peeps" deal with what might happen if there was virtual travel to nearby stars, which I think will happen. I am continuing to work on Enhanced eBooks, which includes photos or films or music. Here, "The Underground," is perhaps the best example, but there is some enhancement with photos or art in "Famous Fake Books," "Rock Star Diet," and "Girlfriends Lost." The enhancement makes the books harder to edit for publication through the premium catalogue. The typescript gets variable--big--small--different fonts. The conversion process rips away formatting I guess. I am just a simple literary anarchist, working my way up to I don't know what. I just added a new improved version of Rock Star Diet, with more jokes, and photos of my favorite rock stars. Check out my films by searching johnblandly on YouTube. Phantom of the Art Gallery http://www.youtube.com/user/JohnBlandly#p/u/0/XiDzQvtkbcA I reside in the wilderness of the New York frontier. Here are some links to navigate with me! "Abbie," the love story of Frankie and Maisie, who get involved in the drama of Abbie Hoffman's underground life in the Thousand Islands http://www.synergebooks.com/ebook_abbie.html me book of poetry--just jokes in the form of poems http://synergebooks.com/ebook_new&easypoems.html If you've got nothing better to do, you can read my hopefully somewhat accurate poems about the meaning of life. Good luck! Also, please buy a copy of one of my novellas or novelettes from Smashwords. It is said that a prophet is not without honor except in his home town. Based on sales of my books, looks like my home town is--THE WORLD! The young adult novelette, The Volunteers, is based on a number of true stories, or more accurately, harrowing experiences. Girlfriends Lost is completely fictional--I wish! I do not know how to explain it right now except to say, Caesar used to write about himself in the third person, but he had far better adventures. So, enjoy reading "The Death of John Blandly, Continued," included in this novella, and if you can figure it out, let me know, at jjbrearton@aol.com. A novelette that I first published here has now been released as an ebook by Aripublishing.com. It is a surprisingly popular young adult western story.
