God is love, loves ultimate gift is to GIVE to the object of its love, YOU. God wants you to live on earth as you will in Heaven. (Mat 6:10) He wants you to COME AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW, If there is any flaws in you He will gently convict (not condemn) you to change them. I want to woo you to FALL IN LOVE WITH GOD!

Shinliang is a Malaysian Chinese, and lives in the East Malaysia, a place named Kuching, Sarawak which is the largest and populous city in Borneo, together with his parents and three brothers, Shinliang is second among four. The varieties of nature and multicultural heritage have given much inspiration for him to write up fire-new narratives, details and plots in his novel, together with his imaginativeness as an engineer-apprentice without losing sight of the beauty of ‘belles-lettres’ and the importance of using ‘daring’ sentences and sophisticated, ‘unwonted’ vocabularies, unprecedented story-line to boot which, story can be fitted into a movie as it goes. He had taken at least two years to finish his first novel, namely Magical Half, however it remained unpublished for all the prepublication works. |

Wise Men | by Lonon Smith May 14, 2012 | 87856 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I'm a former screenwriter who now lives in Sacramento, CA. “Wise Men†is my first novel. I was born in central California in a very small town devoted to agriculture and ranching and which was very far from a large city unless you count Bakersfield. I've made a few bucks driving tractors, shoving cattle around and shoveling out stalls. I am not a cowboy. My fierce love of horses came later. I was raised by my mother, a war widow, with the help of her father, sisters and about a gillion other relatives, real ones and what we call "shirttail relations." I went to college when the United States and California both thought educating their children was a good idea, so I have a couple of degrees having to do with English and its uses. For far too much of of my life, I wrote screenplays. I have two children, both grown. I've been devastated by the death of the person with whom I hoped to spend the rest of my life, and am now married to a decent woman who was willing to have my idiosyncratic self after the dust settled. And I have sometimes been an actor, almost always -- but not quite always, I say proudly -- for free. The rest is opinion and speculation, although, as has been pointed out, a life unexamined isn't worth squat. It's life with anesthesia, tempting but wasteful. We see ourselves through too many filters -- ego, expectation, dreams, drugs, pain or time -- for self description to be anything more than an exercise in surrealism, a parallax view of the circus parade when the elephant might see the whole thing differently. |

The Darkest Prison | by C S McClellan May 14, 2012 | 12561 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: I'm a blogger and fledgling novelist. My first completed novel, Hidden Boundaries, a Novel of Slavery, explores personal conflicts and relationships in the context of unequal power. It's psychologically driven, with an undercurrent of romance that builds subtly and slowly. The two protagonists are a slaveowner and the young man who becomes his slave. Unlike most novels with a male owner and male slave, Hidden Boundaries is not about BDSM or erotica. My fiction is concerned primarily with issues of personal freedom. My settings are either slave societies or societies in which the question of personal freedom is increasingly tied to extreme political, economic, and social changes. I also blog about writing and reading, with occasional reviews of self-published books. If you'd like to know more about my stories and read some samples, visit Dark Boundaries. |
