The Cricket -Diamonds Are for Never -Part 1	by Jef Holbrook Sep. 03, 2010	$0.99	14 words	Sample 50%
Author bio: Like many good old-scool comics, our characters all exist in the same universe. If you want to know more about the timeline of the Polar Comics Universe, check out the timeline in the "Universe" section of our website: http://polarcomics.com/universe/timeline/ But who are we? Well, there are a few of us, but a lot of this stuff was created by me. I’m Jef. I'm told I don’t promote the “one-man show” angle of the comics enough, so here it is: most of the characters, stories, art, animation, website graphics and so on have been put together by me. It takes a little while, as you can imagine. Now that the obligatory “horn-tooting” is over (please don’t toot your horn in public, you may be arrested), let’s meet our really talented cohorts and collaborators!: Scott B. Smith (great writer), Nelson Pizarro (he created lots of characters for us and helps with plot), Marji Fortin (super talented artist) and Aaron Gotlieb (who seems to create a Y-ME™ character a minute). We have a lot of fun making these books. We even have motion comics available on youtube.com/polarcomics. Thanks for checking us out! -Jef (and company).

WATER and other stories	by Daron Fraley Sep. 03, 2010	Free!	5943 words	Read a sample
Author bio: Daron Fraley was born in Powell, Wyoming, but doesn’t consider himself a cowboy. Living in France for a couple of years provided him the opportunity to hone his cooking skills and to become addicted to good food and chocolate. Apart from his loving family, teaching and writing are his two most favorite things in the world. A classic computer geek, he still likes to fish and camp, makes a mean apple or pumpkin pie from scratch, and once fixed a gas clothes dryer using photocopier parts. With all of his interests in music, art, the sciences, and religion (especially religion), he would have been quite comfortable living during the Renaissance. Having toured chilly castles while in France, he is glad he didn’t live during that time. “The Thorn” is his first novel. After ten total years in the wonderful state of Indiana, Daron, his wife Jennifer, and their six children once again live in the beautiful Rockies, close to friends and family in Wyoming and Utah.

Sometime, a situation inspires him and a story will take shape in his mind, which is then populated from his imagination. As a bureaucrat in local government, Kenn claims to find few outlets outside of fiction for his innate creativity and is pleased others are interested in reading what he writes.
Marilyn	by D.B. Story Sep. 03, 2010	$2.99	9916 words	Sample 10%
Author bio: D. B. Story is a writer living in the southwestern United States. While that territory can cover anywhere from New Mexico to Hawaii he declines to be more specific at this time. His use of the time-honored artifice of writing under a pseudonym comes from the necessity to still maintain a day job and the habit of employers to Google new applicants to discover what stupid things said applicant is willing to foolishly do, and then doubly foolishly post for the world to see afterwards. Such invasions of one’s personal life become an unnecessary distraction. D. B. Story has long had interests in both Science Fiction (since first discovering his mother’s secret cache of Ace Doublebooks stashed under her bed) and writing. In fact, anything he has enjoyed participating in he eventually has a desire to create as well. He seriously began writing (although not selling) stories ten years ago due to a dissatisfaction with what he was reading at the time and the belief that he could do it better. He started out with the interaction between humans and the sexy robots they would inevitably create and later branched out to other erotic Fantasy and SF genres. During that time he has written everything from flash fiction to a 402,000 word novel and a screenplay based on his other writings, as yet unsold. Whether his writing is actually “better” he admits he must leave to his readers to decide, but he likes his stuff a lot. He has often said that, “Writing time is always good time.” He also says that with the advent of cheap computers, word processors, eBooks, and the Internet that times have never been better for a diversity of writers to be heard.

Shame is the lot of the ignorant!~ My books are also available in print at my website - www.beautobeau.com. ~B.K. Wright~ Beau to Beau has a new author, B.J. Scott, who writes very XXX rated erotic gay short stories. They can be found at 1erotic ebooks, 1romance ebooks, and all romance ebooks, with full steamy excerpts on those sites.

The Hybrid	by Carl East Sep. 02, 2010	$2.99	18149 words	Sample 35%
Author bio: I was born In Hull, Yorkshire, England in 1956. I started to write at the age of 44 in the year 2000, and I wasn't very good. I slowly learned over the years that followed, mainly from people online who gave up their time to help me. I chose to write imaginative things, and sometimes allowed my own imagination to get away from me. I started with erotic tales before going onto more serious stuff, although having said that my erotic stories have been popular. The first book I got published was "The Second Apprentice" followed closely by "The Talking Sword" both of which are sword and sorcerer type tales. My favorite release though was "Hell's Gate" but none of these three books have been downloaded yet and they're all available at Amazon. They just seem to want my erotic stories. lol I now live in America and have done for the past 5 years. As you can see from my photo I'm happily married and intend to stay that way. Carl
