RALEIGH, NC, August 05, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- No matter which type of fiction you enjoy reading, you will find a favorite in the short stories that make up the Summer Reading Book Series by award winning author Jon Batson.
"Readers will find a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor in some of my stories, while other tales are downright frightening, fact-based fiction." said Batson
The August release of "Encounter at a Small Cafe" features 12 light fiction stories. Some romantic, some with a touch of mystery, there is even a charming flash fiction parable called "The Stone."
"Encounter" follows on the heels of his June book release of the 134 page dark fiction collection "Murder at Thompson Bog and Other Short Stories" which Batson describes as "five stories of dark and sinister intent. If you can't sleep, this won't help."
For science fiction fans, late August brings six sci-fi shorts in the book "Doll Bodies." Could stories in this sci-fi anthology be a future fact?
Batson's blog "Maunderings of the Author" features the serialized version of his short stories; one episode per week updated on Thursday. http://jonbatson.blogspot.com/. The current story "Luna Nightmares" is from "Murder at Thompson Bog."
"Encounter at a Small Cafe" and "Murder at Thompson Bog" are now available through Amazon in print http://tinyurl.com/Encounter-Book or Kindle http://tinyurl.com/Encounter-Kindle.
