Raised in the Shadow by Phillip Rosenberg Raised in the Shadow by Phillip Rosenberg Aug. 08, 2010 $3.99 4282 words Sample 50%
Author bio:
I grew up in Sunland Tujunga, outside Los Angeles, and eventually made my way to Atlanta, GA and then to Nashville, TN. For years, I made my living as a carpenter, then contractor, and started and ran two successful companies. Building isn't bad work and I'm proud of the projects that I've done and blessed in the people that I met along the way. But I've always been a writer too and my love of words and good storytelling, in poetry and songs, is what gets me out of bed in the morning. I wrote my book of poetry, Raised in the Shadow, in one intense year of reflection and scribbling. I was living in Nashville, a single father with two children and virtually no time or space for the songwriting career that had brought me there. Oh, and I was about to turn fifty. Poetry sustained me during that period and I wrote poems in response, short and direct and honest--the sort that I like to read myself. Raised in the Shadow is one version of my life story in twenty-five poems. Now I am a singer-songwriter, living in a small cabin in the desert near Joshua tree, CA with my wife and two cats. It took awhile. Many things do. But now I just write.

Past the Galaxies of Stars, Volume 1 Poetry by Wes Patterson Past the Galaxies of Stars, Volume 1 Poetry by Wes Patterson Jul. 06, 2010 $4.99 9575 words Sample 20%
Author bio:
Wes Patterson graduated with highest honors from Johns Hopkins University on a full academic scholarship, majoring in psychology and creative writing. He completed his post-graduate work at the University of Florida. After leaving school, for a brief period of time, he became involved in crossbreeding and popularizing animals and reptiles as pets. He believes, he was responsible for the current "ferret pet craze" as he "re-discovered" and "re-introduced" ferrets as pets in 1964. He popularized and sold ferrets by the thousands to pet shops throughout the U.S. from his animal and reptile farm in Melrose, Florida. There are now more than ten million pet ferrets in the U.S. and just recently New York City has become so inundated with the cute intelligent carnivores that the city council is considering new licensing laws. He also popularized the malamute-wolf cross and various snakes and other reptiles as pets. He has always been acutely aware of the environment and endangered vanishing species. His other life-long interests include, paranormal psychology (regression and reincarnation) and serious literature. He was a prize winner in the annual publication of "Best College Writing of 1964". His poetry and prose have been published frequently in anthologies and poetry journals throughout the world, including Russia, India and Japan. His writing deals with life, death and love and the ageless philosophical questions of existence that ancient philosophers have been pondering since the beginning of time. In 1992 he met and married Irina Trefilieva, a Russian doctor of medicine, who came from a country where poetry and literature are greatly appreciated. In her translation, much of his poetry has appeared in major Russian literary magazines and received excellent reviews.

Topics I Have Written About: Journalism/Non Fiction: Mostly animals and entertainment, although I have tackled politics, business, and the environment. I have also dabbled in short story memoir. Poetry: The first poetry workshop I attended was all about writing based on public space and people. Therefore, the writing stemmed from the goings on in and around public transport. Years later when I took up poetry again seriously, I was freelancing at Track + Signal and they wanted poetry on trains, so I wrote more on that topic. I do, however, write about other things besides trains. My poetry often contains a hint of magic or a glimpse of an animal. Fiction: Fantasy genre mixed with a bit of humour.

Author bio:
Born in QLD Australia, to a middle class family; I guess you could say I was raised in a carefree yet strict manner. From an early age I found it hard to socialise with others, and quite often preferred my own company. I discovered very fast that I had more of an affinity with animals rather than the people around me. I moved to NSW at the age of 7 with my two elder sisters (10+ years my senior), who I always wished I could have been closer to in age; and my parents. While they did there best, they faught on most days (but always made sure that they told me that they loved me and provided me with most of the things I wanted). At the age of 14 I decided to rebel against my parents, my family and the world; I didn't get this rebellious mostly self destructive side out of my blood until reaching 23 years of age. That's when I got the biggest and most unexpected surprise of my life, I was soon going to be a mum. No, I wasn't prepared, nor was I ever what you would call a maternal type. Early on I had decided I mostly likely wouldn't have children, but saying that is one thing. And almost 10 years down the track (with a few hiccups along the way) I now have two lovely children; a man that works hard and loves typical Aussie bloke past times i.e. fishing, beer, 4WD's, BBQ's and his TV. Now in my early 30's I guess you could say I have grown into a semi stable, semi sane, good hearted, opinionated yet compassionate woman; combined with a love for poetry, art, helping others and learning; I have always dabbled with art and poetry mostly for my own therapy. However now I find myself with some spare time, I decided to take a re adventure into my creative side and share it with you all.
