10 Minutes: Asterisk PBX on Amazon EC2	by Ronald Lewis April 11, 2011	$2.99	1030 words	Sample 10%
Author bio: Constantly investigating innovative and new ideas, Ronald Lewis is out to change the world. Through his career as an independent journalist, Ronald has been able to establish and cultivate relationships with some of the biggest names in technology and the most talked about names in entrepreneurship. Currently, he is an advocate for several revolutionary technologies and serves as an activist against the unknown injustices which plague our culture. His life of research and interest in just programs lead to the publication of his first book, Stick it to the Man, released summer of 2009 through Skyhorse Publishing. Ronaldâ€™s success hasnâ€™t come easy. After many starts, failures, and restarts he has finally found his groove and established a wonderful life in Denver, Colorado. His life is proof that the only requirements for being successful is to never lose sight of your goals â€“ a message he hopes to inspire in others. Born in Detroit, Michigan to a very supportive mother and a very neglectful father â€“ Ronald did the only thing a child could do at that age: excel in school. His curiosity and appetite for information usually placed him at the top of his class. Ronald, with his infinite imagination, made his first computer out of construction paper. At the age of 10 Ronaldâ€™s neighborhood landscaping business served as his first start-up company and ignited his entrepreneurial spirit for life. Things only went up for Ronald from there. His industrious attitude and appetite for things that were new always lead him to the next step. At a young age he taught himself how to program computers using Microsoft QuickBasic and, later, Visual Basic. At the age of 15 Ronald attended an engineering conference where he first saw Bill Gates speak. Lewis later sent a letter to Gates, expressing his enthusiasm towards his technology and his team of engineers. Gates, impressed with how well informed a 15 year old could be, maintained correspondence with Lewis. Over the coming years, Ronald would test numerous software programs and would receive awards for this work including the Spirit of Detroit and Microsoft MVP. Over the next several years Ronald experienced highs and lows. At his worst, he was in debt, crashing with friends, and undergoing mental and emotional stress from the death of his father and the divorce from his wife. At his highest, he was on a South by Southwest panel about race and technology, hosting an online interview show featuring guests from Cisco, Carnegie Melon, and Southwest Airlines, and publishing a book about how to skirt our countryâ€™s major financial institutions. Currently, Ronald lives and works in Denver, where he continues to advocate new technologies such as Square, VoIP, and Cloud Computing. He is also an activist against big banks and has hosted several major speaking engagements. Currently, he believes in living a â€œlife without limitsâ€ and proposes everyone do the same â€“ to recognize your own limitations, visible and otherwise, and to not let them keep you from achieving what you most want from life.

200 Writing Prompts	by David Stoddard Nov. 15, 2009	$0.99	1533 words	Sample 30%
Author bio: What can I tell you about myself that won't have you running out to the kitchen searching for overly-caffeinated coffee just to make it through this page? I'm an introverted, indecisive Gemini, who loves procrastination, thinking about thinking about getting things done, and having Weird Al Yankovic as my rolling model. While Al and myself look nothing alike, I like to feel we have things in common. We both have a rather off the wall sense of humor that we share. (just wish he would let me borrow it more often). He has way more hair than I do. He has millions of fans and he can play the accordion. Ummm. ok, so we don't have that much in common as I previously thought. But back to the about me stuff. As for where the Unmotivated Motivational Writer came along? Like so many other things, it just happened. There was no plan, no idea, nothing appeared to me in a dream or while I was rearranging the letters in my alphabet soup. The title itself seemed to fit me perfectly. It connected my unmotivatedness beautifully with my ability to write fairly okie dokie. And maybe this helps prove the old saying. If you truly want to learn something, stand up in the basement as if you are giving a presentation and bore the living daylights out of your collection of stuffed animals and imaginary friends with your never-ending ramblings about a given topic until you start understanding just what you are talking about. You get the point. After a few years of doing that on my own, the stuffed animals moved away and I was left with the seemingly necessary need to search for an audience. Hey! Build a web site (said all of the experts in the world on online stuff). Like the voice in Field of Dreams said, if you build it, they will come bringing fried rice and a pizza. I'm still waiting for the pizza. So I did. And after a few years, djstoddard.net evolved into a page where I could reinvent it every few weeks (ala Madonna). Funny thing is despite the reinventions, nothing really changed. The focus, the glamor, the photogs hounding me for secret pictures of me out of the EZchair and in a fast food restaurant never changed. So I decided to do come here and funny things up a bit. Get away from the whole serious motivational, self-improvement, guidance, teaching, preaching, yelling (can you do that while typing) and trying to inspire folks to get off their butts and do something. I found out that it pretty tough for a guy who is seen always sitting on his butt to tell others to get off theirs. Something about that just doesn't work. So now this is why the rambling portion with silly bits and pieces of stuff are tossed out there in ebooks, postings, the occasional video and greeting cards comes in. And yes, it's still motivational and self-improvementy. It's just in a completely semi-different style and image ya may not be used to. Hopefully enjoyable, useful and provides the necessary restroom reading material you may have wished for during the current century. So thank you for your time (for those who have made it to the end of this about me thingy, that shows dedication or a need of a hobby). And thanks also for sharing this moment with me. Now get out there, get off your butt, get a life, get a job, get a hobby and get outta your own way. :-) Sincerely, I mean it. --David

3 Simple Words	by David Stoddard July 22, 2011	$0.99	3357 words	Sample 20%
Author bio: What can I tell you about myself that won't have you running out to the kitchen searching for overly-caffeinated coffee just to make it through this page? I'm an introverted, indecisive Gemini, who loves procrastination, thinking about thinking about getting things done, and having Weird Al Yankovic as my rolling model. While Al and myself look nothing alike, I like to feel we have things in common. We both have a rather off the wall sense of humor that we share. (just wish he would let me borrow it more often). He has way more hair than I do. He has millions of fans and he can play the accordion. Ummm. ok, so we don't have that much in common as I previously thought. But back to the about me stuff. As for where the Unmotivated Motivational Writer came along? Like so many other things, it just happened. There was no plan, no idea, nothing appeared to me in a dream or while I was rearranging the letters in my alphabet soup. The title itself seemed to fit me perfectly. It connected my unmotivatedness beautifully with my ability to write fairly okie dokie. And maybe this helps prove the old saying. If you truly want to learn something, stand up in the basement as if you are giving a presentation and bore the living daylights out of your collection of stuffed animals and imaginary friends with your never-ending ramblings about a given topic until you start understanding just what you are talking about. You get the point. After a few years of doing that on my own, the stuffed animals moved away and I was left with the seemingly necessary need to search for an audience. Hey! Build a web site (said all of the experts in the world on online stuff). Like the voice in Field of Dreams said, if you build it, they will come bringing fried rice and a pizza. I'm still waiting for the pizza. So I did. And after a few years, djstoddard.net evolved into a page where I could reinvent it every few weeks (ala Madonna). Funny thing is despite the reinventions, nothing really changed. The focus, the glamor, the photogs hounding me for secret pictures of me out of the EZchair and in a fast food restaurant never changed. So I decided to do come here and funny things up a bit. Get away from the whole serious motivational, self-improvement, guidance, teaching, preaching, yelling (can you do that while typing) and trying to inspire folks to get off their butts and do something. I found out that it pretty tough for a guy who is seen always sitting on his butt to tell others to get off theirs. Something about that just doesn't work. So now this is why the rambling portion with silly bits and pieces of stuff are tossed out there in ebooks, postings, the occasional video and greeting cards comes in. And yes, it's still motivational and self-improvementy. It's just in a completely semi-different style and image ya may not be used to. Hopefully enjoyable, useful and provides the necessary restroom reading material you may have wished for during the current century. So thank you for your time (for those who have made it to the end of this about me thingy, that shows dedication or a need of a hobby). And thanks also for sharing this moment with me. Now get out there, get off your butt, get a life, get a job, get a hobby and get outta your own way. :-) Sincerely, I mean it. --David

"When I interviewed Gary Lockwood, I really wanted to present a side of him that most people don't see," she says. "He was expecting questions about "Space Odyssey: 2001" and UFO's, but I asked him if he had been to New Mexico before. He stared at me for a moment, then motioned for me to step away from the rest of the media crush. He told me his first "appearance" ever was as a trick rider in the Monty Montana Show and he began with shows in New Mexico. He went on to tell me how much he loved the artist Georgia O'Keeffe. I told him he was across the parking lot from a museum where he would find O'Keeffe originals on exhibit. I am sure it was not what the science fiction buffs were expecting but he clearly appreciated being asked an unusual question and having a true conversation -- and I got a front page interview that the rest of the media weren't privy to until it was already in print!" She holds a Master's degree in Instructional Systems Technology from the College of Education at Indiana University. She lives in Central Illinois with her husband, Jeff Imig, and their cats.
