The pen name “Lord Koga,†has been shortened over the years from its original name Lord Kogarasumaru. The origins of the name Kogarasumaru “Little Crow†is derive from a unique Japanese tachi sword rumored to have been created by legendary Japanese smith Amakuni during 8th century CE. The “little Crow†is considered to be unique as it is a bridge between the old double edge blades of Japan and the more modern version which eventually became known as Katana. Thus, the author that writes under this shortened pen name, desired to use it as a way to describe his writing style as a bit of old school mixed with new techniques. In some ways, considering the Genre in which he writes, it makes some since in the oddity of things, but as this is Veenstra Publishing, we love the oddity of authors, too out there for mainstream publishing to comprehend.

The Mermaid Variations | by Rhys Hughes Feb. 05, 2012 | $0.99 | 16407 words | Sample 10% |
| Author bio: I am a writer of Fantasy, Speculative Fiction and Magic Realism who often uses comedy and absurdism to examine philosophical issues. I am known for my original ideas, intricate plots and entertaining wordplay! I write short stories, novellas and novels. I have been a writer from an early age. I completed my first proper short story when I was 14. It was called 'The Journey of Mountain Hawk' and I still remember what it was about, even though it no longer exists. None of my early work exists. My earliest surviving short story dates from 1989, and since that time I have embarked on an ambitious project of writing a story cycle consisting of exactly 1000 linked tales. Recently I decided to give this cycle an overall name -- PANDORA'S BLUFF. My main influences are writers such as Italo Calvino, Stanislaw Lem, Boris Vian, Flann O'Brien, Jack Vance and Jorge Luis Borges, all of whom have a very well-developed sense of irony and a powerful imagination. I love irony and satire, not only the 'negative' kind that seeks to undermine some form of injustice but also the 'positive' kind that takes sheer delight in its own playfulness. And yet I am also fully committed to engaging with serious themes. In fact, many years ago, I decided that I should find my own name for the style of writing I like best and the name I came up with was: "Romanti-Cynicism." The main idea behind this new genre is to combine humour and seriousness, to fuse the emotional with the intellectual, the profound with the lighthearted, the unfettered with the precise. My first book was published in 1995 and sold slowly but it seemed to strike a chord with some people. My second, third, fourth, etc, books sold much more strongly as my reputation increased. I have been told that I am a "cult author" and I'm pleased with the description, but obviously I also want to reach out to a wider audience! My twentieth book has just been published and I have many new books due to be released in the next two years. |

Lösen Sie Ihre Angst vor Ablehnung auf | by Tom Stone Feb. 05, 2012 | $0.99 | 8087 words | Sample 20% |
| Author bio: Tom Stone is an expert in the development of new techniques for resolving trauma and anxiety. He is the founder and CEO of Great Life Technologies, Inc. that is now providing trauma and anxiety resolution services of veterans and active duty military personnel and their families. Tom studied classical guitar and composition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music in the late 1960's. He developed a strong interest in the physics and mathematics of music which would later serve as a perfect background for the study of biophysics based medical concepts that are being pioneered in Germany. Tom was involved for more than 30 years with the practice and teaching of meditation. He also has a deep understanding of addiction recovery, has studied the homeopathic medical model developed in Germany in depth and is a leading teacher of applied kinesiology. Tom has given hundreds of lectures, seminars and training programs throughout the world. Tom has been pioneering the new field of Human Software Engineering since the mid 1990's. His penetrating insights into the nature of human conditioning including his model - The Core Dynamics of Human Conditioning, shed new light on the real reasons behind the very limited capacity that most people have for resolving trauma and anxiety. His innovative 8 Pure Awareness Techniques teach people to become skillful at resolving trauma and anxiety within themselves. These techniques are currently being taught to veterans, active duty military and others who have experienced severe traumas. The results are unprecedented, thorough resolution of trauma and anxiety that appear to be permanent. Tom is well qualified to be an expert in resolving trauma. On December 7th,1993, Tom was shot in the chest by a deranged stranger with a .44 caliber handgun. He miraculously lived through this assault and began his search for real solutions to the trauma resulting from this event. This lead him to the beginnings of the discovery of the techniques that are now being used to train Trauma Resolution Specialists world wide. In addition to veterans and active duty military personnel the techniques have been found equally effective for rape victims, victims of violent crimes, domestic abuse, natural disasters, first responders, etc. Tom is an extraordinary and entertaining trainer and presenter. He has an unusual gift of making complex things simple and easy to understand. |

Because every one know to man is perfect in every way, I decided to use myself. My characters know and acknowledge me as The Writer. They're able to speak against me and hate my decisions. I keep the praise to a minimum because that just gets weird."

The Last Generation | by Guy Singer Feb. 04, 2012 | $2.99 | 92622 words | Sample 15% |
| Author bio: I used to be cute once! Now I'm 56 and I live in Thailand. I've had an odd and varied life. I've held jobs varying from manager of a self-storage facility in London to owner of a small museum in Tennessee. I've lived in many places and enjoyed travelling around. Now I'm semi-retired and write to put a crust of bread on my plate. I have written many short stories and edited many newsletters and society publications. This is the first full-length novel I've attempted, and I hope it won't be the last. The one lesson I've learned from this is not to trust your characters. They really live. Let me quickly tell you the story of Doris, Logan's Mom. She started life in the first draft as a man. He simply answered the telephone, put the call from Mike through to Ronald McMurtry and exited the story. Then he demanded a larger part. Soon he became Doris, and had a speaking role. When Mike decided he wanted to talk to McMurtry, he went to the office and found Doris. I did not write her into that role, show wrote herself. Mike had to go back, re-write where he bought a bunch of flowers and meet her again. She did appreciate the flowers. After a bit, I found she had a 'son', and the character of Logan was born. He was not in the original draft at all. From that moment on, Logan's own role became central. You've read the result. However, I swear Doris and Logan wrote themselves into the book. It was not my doing. The characters live. They really do, and they grow with the story. I loved that. You may find some of them re-appear in later books. I have a story to write about Logan, if he'll let me, and by popular demand, there's the life of Tom in 33AD. He has a lot of travel to undertake despite the fact he's an old man. |

Best Books for Young Adults - The SECRET AT CHiCHEN iTZA! | by Casey Grace & Landis Grace Feb. 04, 2012 | Free! | 51306 words | Read a sample |
| Author bio: Living in an ancient Mayan world nestled in the virgin jungles of the Yucatan has given my 12 year old daughter Landis and I encounters of a lifetime. Our Mayan friends have shared with us many secrets of their culture and we have experienced many of their customs and ceremonies. There are many mysteries and legends of this ancient race, and my daughter Landis and I started this series to share some of these fascinating traditions in a fun mystery book which educates the readers not only into the everyday life of the traditional Mayans still living in pueblitos but into authentic ancient customs through flashbacks in the book. Landis and I are Canadian, so I am thrilled that my daughter is completely fluent in her second language of Spanish, so we added some easy-to-remember Spanish words to teach readers a little of the language. All of the facts throughout the book are true, but they are presented in an entertaining fictional style with a closing message of integrity and wholesomeness. We are writing our next Landis Adventure book called “The Mystery at Isla Mujeresâ€, which takes place on a beautiful island nestled off the coast of Cancun, in the aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea. |
