Hank & June:A major character in my newest Time Traveling Epic Fable is the Elizabethan author Christopher Marlowe & may people hold that he was in fact Shakespeare.
But I agree with those who think he was really Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford.
The Bard is not a character in the book, but they do discuss him some.

Interesting storyline, plus time travel - always interesting.
June, if I may, it's hard to really tell by the size of your profile picture, but in case I'm correct I just wanted you to know:The heros in my books are always strong-willed redheaded women.
Write what you know.
I am the author of ---- The Ultimate Bra Fitting Guide by Debra Sanders-Steele ---- which is available on Amazon, Barnes 7 Noble, and OutSkirts Press bookstore.
Hello, everyone! This is my very first book... It's three short erotic tales that I published before Christmas. Until February 14th, you can get all three of them for $ 0.99 on Amazon (FREE, if you have Kindle & Prime).I wrote these erotic stories intending to fire the imaginations, and the loins of readers, and inspire them to turn their love lives into something wonderful, lusty and fun!
In the first short story, an invitation turns naughty in 'Hide and Seek'! The second story, 'Dirty Dancer', shows how fulfilling the art of pole dancing can be. And, in 'Tight Squeeze', the final short story, a shopping trip turns out to be an adventure!
Here's my link: http://dld.bz/SensualScenariosVol1
Please read and rate them for me. Thank you!
As the world gets smaller we have the chance to meet and interact with people from other cultures. If you are interested in a entertaining and fun book that helps build cultural awareness, check out my book Sublte Differences, Big Faux Pas. Remember: we don't all do things the same way; it's not bad just different.Elizabeth Vennekens-KellySubtle Differences, Big Faux Pas
I have just released a short ebook, Together Again. Here's the description: An unusual dream provokes a 17-year-old soon-to-be college history major named Abe to research former U.S. President Abraham Lincoln’s life — and change his own. It retails for 99 cents.You'll find it at New Christian Books Online Store, Smashwords, Amazon and XinXii.

A merry unbirthday present this weekend from me to you -- a wee free short story for the Kindle. Big monsters beating the crap out of each other in... King Crab versus Giant Scorpion - A creature feature http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B4L0VIK
Free until the 28th Jan 2013.
I have two books available on Amazon.com, Kindle, Barnes & Noble and Nook with my "Running Forward Series." Sin, Secrets, and Salvation debuted in January 2012...A Christian wife, Susan Penleigh is unequally yoked to a non-Christian husband. Follow her victorious journey through a shaky marriage. Scripture, prayer, and intrigue round out this suspense novel. Action-packed and inspiring. (I was humbled to win in a nation wide contest with this book. I am a finalist of "Fifty Great Writers You Should Be Reading" 2012 contest by The Authors Show.com (Go to their site and enter the contest for 2013!)Book two, River Town, debuted December 2012. It continues the powerful faith and family saga. Susan relocates to Texas during the worse drought in history with terrifing wildfires, a new job at a high school, and much to challenge her faith. From an arrogant boss to troubled teenagers, the reader will have a clear understanding of a Christian viewpoint by her actions. A compelling page turner for both men and women!
And now...for the rest of the story! I lived in the area with the raging wildfires. You may have seen them on national tv last yesr. They came within 2 miles of my rural home. I had to evacuate. Although my books are fiction, the drought and wildfires actually happened. I researched every fire that developed and inserted it on the date it happened. Many sprang up in a short time period. The descriptions from my characters about the fire were given to me by friends who experienced it, and what I witnessed. I included a refugee shelter and so much more.
My main character, Susan, survived an ordeal in the first book and in this one her faith is even stronger. I am currently writing the third book in the series.
World Wide Who's Who awarded me Professional of the Year 2012 in Authorship. I was not expecting that! :)
I do have a passion for writing, as I am sure many of you also have!
Please sign up for the giveaway here on goodreads for "River Town" Type it in the search window and then click on the title. You will see the giveaway when you scroll down.
Hope you enjoy them! :)
Hi everyone,I have two novels out. The K Street Affair is brand new this month and it's a political suspense novel set in DC and Moscow. It follows one young lawyer as she risks everything to try to stop her law firm's politically connected clients from underwriting terror.
My first novel The Hazards of Hunting While Heartbroken is mainstream women's fiction. It follows a young woman who sets out to find a man to solve her problems and ends up figuring out who she is in the process. When we meet Zoe, she's embarking on a new relationship with a guy who seems perfect, until she starts to suspect that he harbors a dark secret.
I'd love to hear from anyone who reads my books.
Hi everyone,I have one novel out (since August) and a second one on the horizon in June. I'm writing a paranormal trilogy in the style of Erica Jong.

For every action, there is a reaction—and sometimes we meet redemption in unlikely places…
Anne Greene doesn’t know what Peter Van Doorne’s life was like back in Savannah. What she does know is only what he’s told her—that he’s the youngest of five children born to a Southern preacher of Dutch origin, and that coercion pushed him from his charmed life in the South.
However, as much as Anne is attracted to him, she sees red flags….What is Peter not telling her?
While Peter struggles to grasp a future he can’t quite keep a hold of, and tries desperately to outrun a past he can’t change, Anne discovers his secret— and the truth that everyone, at some point in his or her life is Worthy of Thorns.
TANNIS is the latest freebie from the Short Story collectionhttp://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B4LC93K

Party-time! Everyone's invited to join me tomorrow to launch 'Bladesong' via the Troubadours facebook page https://www.facebook.com/jeangilltrou... Come and leave a message saying who you are and what your book is, if you have one.Bladesong - story:-
1151 – the Holy Land during a fragile peace
Estela, the troubadour, following the destiny of
her beautiful voice, and Dragonetz, her passionate knight;
divided by the times they love in.
Dragonetz is imprisoned in Damascus, his military prowess
as valuable and dangerous to the balance of power
as the priceless Torah he has to deliver to Jerusalem.
Can Estela get him out alive, despite Nur-ad-Din,
the Muslim Atabeg; Melisende, the Queen of Jerusalem;
and an avenger from the past?
Will she still want to,
when she knows what they’ve done to him?
A print giveaway starts here on goodreads on 13th Feb and there's a Kindle Giveaway of Bk 'Song at Dawn for Valentine's day (actually from 13th-17th Feb) as part of the whole 'Bladesong' launch.
'Bladesong' is available in print here http://www.lulu.com/shop/jean-gill/bl... and will be on amazon in print some time in March; all ebook formats here https://www.smashwords.com/books/view... but also available now as amazon kindle. Smashwords has approved it for Premium distribution (always a tense moment re formatting) so that will take it to B & N, Apple, Diesel, Koby and other independent ebook sellers.
If anyone's interested in my novel, "Frankenstein on the Cusp of Something," enter the Goodreads Giveaway. See cheneybooks.com/frankenstein to see if it's the kind of fiction you like. It's a little weird but easy to read, kind of funny but gradually closer to tragic.
You may know me as Greywolf, a Seneca native storyteller. I have 18 books ready for editing, but I use the two finger method of typing, so it will be a while before they are all out there on the market. I'm leaning toward e-books for all of them=, since the book market is slowly fading away and everything seems to be going the way of the internet.You can of course still get my Death & Taxes Book (Soon to be renamed "Came Thunder and the Rain".) I suggest readers 13 and up for most of this compilation of short stories. You won't be disappointed and may return to read them again from time to time; other say they do.
Where eagles fly,
Don (Greywolf) Ford
P.S. You can find my fun children's tale, "Royal Ferdinand" in PDF format at Amazon also.

Herod. by Roger Penney Published as an ebook on Kindle.He is popularly seen as a villain in Christmas culture but he moved in fairly exalted circles. Mark Antony and Octavian (later the Emperor Augustus) took him to the Senate House and two other senators sponsored him to be made King of Judea. All he had to do to take his kingdom was sail back to Judea in winter, that was the easy bit. Then he had to take Jerusalem from his rival and kick out the Parthians from Judea which they had just conquered.
His brother was holed up in the fortress of Masada with the womenfolk of their families.
Meanwhile the poor citizens and peasants of Judea and Idumea, languished under invading armies and civil wars.
Read how he not only survived but helped the legions to drive our the Parthian invaders then to make his kingdom the richest province of the whole Roman empire.
Read also how he charmed even the bigotted Pharisees and got the grudging suport of the priests. Then won the friendship of the Emperor and of his right hand man, Marcus Agrippa, possibly one of the greatest and best of the Romans who ever lived.
This friendship he retained for just about all of his reign until he killed his beloved Mariamne, suffered under internecine strife in the harem and the gross ingratitude of his sons. He finaly ruined his reputation with Christendom when he had a few babies and toddlers in Bethlehem done to death. But he tried to out-fox the Magians even though his body was rotting away even while he maintained his position enduring great suffering, physical, mental and emotional.
The Toughest Mile is free today on kindle http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B4ZPLYA
A barbarian wins the right to a final challenge; if he can finish a ten mile run while being pursued by ten deadly warriors, he will have his freedom.
But does he really want it?

Hi. I'm writer Michael Goldcraft.As the currently newest member of the group, I thought I would invite members to enter the world of The Darke Lyfe Trilogy. Three horror/crime investigation/science fiction thrillers that include: Ascent of Evil; Inherited Evil; and the final tome, Arcanum of Evil. These contemporary thrillers adopt a new paradigm of the vampire mythology when anthropologist, Dr. Steven Atticus, discovers the 1000-year-old corpse of the first vampire. Things get complicated when the antagonist, rogue vampyre Harrison Van Gilter enters the scene on October 31, 1997 in Panama City, Florida. The result is a law enforcement manhunt for a predatory, transgenic, psycho serial killer. A summary for potential readers is provided at my blog: http://michaelgoldcraft.wordpress.com/
The first two novels both won first place awards in the horror/dark fantasy category at the Florida Writers Association's Royal Palm Literary Awards. All of my novels are available at all ebook vendors. Just search: Michael Goldcraft or visit our website at www.brimbooks.com
So this is my invitation to you to explore the world of genuine transgenic predators (real vampires) and follow the mystery to unravel the reality within our contemporary population. They ARE here among us!
Best wishes, Michael Goldcraft
Please check out my latest novel, DROP OUT, which Kindle Fire Department.com calls; “Touching, romantic, and wonderfully told, this is a book that's bound to become a classic.” It is their book of the day. Thank you.
