Book excerpt: Short Story Press Presents Today's Second Chance by Mitchell "Today's Second Chance", is the tale of young love lost and years later rekindled by chance. Maya returned to her home state of Indiana after many years of moving around and seeing the country. "Maya is a character I personally feel quite a connection to. She is fiercely independent and a single mom who made the best of her and her child's life." says author Tara Mitchell. "Maya finds herself reflecting on paths not taken over the years and fearful that the best of life has passed her by. Her son has left the nest and she is alone for the first time in decades." Lucas was the one man in her past that she never got over. As kids they were intimate with each other and had a very close friendship. Without warning Maya left Lucas behind. She pined for him for years. He waited for her to return. They move through their lives with something missing until she runs into him while out running errands. He is still the most attractive man she knows. He still carries a torch for Maya. "Maya and Lucas are so drawn to each other. It's an attraction that cannot be denied for long." states the author. "They take some time to get reacquainted but their strong attraction is a distraction to their everyday lives. Their story takes them back in time and age to feeling young and wildly passionate. Who says you can't go back?" questions the author, Miss Mitchell. Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short Story Press Presents The Gig by Cody Weinmann The book, The Gig is a story of American horror and tragedy that involves the downfall of a once-successful musician who had travelled the world, one coffee shop, one bar, one stage at a time. Under the recession, he fell out of work. He began searching coffee shops, just begging different shop owners for work. He was never seen without his sax in hand, but after the thirtieth no from the 30th club or coffee house, he is sitting having coffee when he falls to the floor in a massive, convulsing seizure. In another pose, 24 hours after this attempt on his life, the devil threatens the musician's life with another seizure and then a car wreck. In a saving grab, the musician is taken to heaven where he's listed as one of God's musical heroes. You can call it a horror cum spiritual story where fate and faith are tested multiple times. This story really brings to light just how difficult it is to live in this dangerous world and to survive where money is an ever-tightening resource. It also shows how the lack of money contributes to the downfall of other attributes to a person, including the individual's health and mental capacity. This book puts a new spin on horror and spirituality as a mix to remember. Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

Book excerpt: Short Story Press Presents Unexpected Trip To Thyrgaryn by Christine Tanner John is thrown into a world where he has no idea what is going on. First he’s chased by zombies, and they aren’t real. He is then thrust into the world of fantasy. For a boy who plays Dungeons and Dragons it’s just like an adventure that he and his friends have played before. However, this time around he’s not a boy, and it’s all real. He can tell by the broken nose he gets the first few hours he is in that other world. But how did he get there, and where can he find a way back to his own world. Demon’s Forge seems to be the place of origin, how he got to this world, but where is Demon’s Forge in this world, is there one, and how will he ever find it? He has to try and avoid zombies, Kings men, and who knows what else. Michigan has never seemed so far away as when John is running through the world of Thyrgaryn. He is a natural fighter, knows how to handle the sword and many other weapons, but can he do well enough in a fight for his life? Only time in the fantasy world that he showed up in will be able to decide on his fate. Short Story Press publishes short stories written by everyday writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taylor Edwards family might not be that close - everyone is a little too busy and overscheduled, but for the most part, they get along just fine. Then Taylor's dad gets some devastating news, and her parents decide that the family will spend on last summer together at their old lake house in the Pcocono Mountains. Crammed into a place much smaller than they are used to, they begin to get to know each other again, but as the summer progresses they're more aware than ever that they're battling a ticking clock. And as Taylor tries to deal with the drama at home, she is faced with the fact that the friends she thought she'd left behind haven't actually gone anywhere. Her former summer best friend is still living across the lake and still as mad with Taylor as she was five years ago, and her first boyfriend has moved in next door… but he's much cuter at seventeen than he was at twelve. Can one summer be enough time to get a second chance - with family, friends, and love?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A seminal work and examination of the psychopathology of journalism. Using a strange and unprecedented lawsuit by a convicted murder againt the journalist who wrote a book about his crime, Malcolm delves into the always uneasy, sometimes tragic relationship that exists between journalist and subject. Featuring the real-life lawsuit of Jeffrey MacDonald, a convicted murderer, against Joe McGinniss, the author of Fatal Vision. In Malcolm's view, neither journalist nor subject can avoid the moral impasse that is built into the journalistic situation. When the text first appeared, as a two-part article in The New Yorker, its thesis seemed so radical and its irony so pitiless that journalists across the country reacted as if stung. Her book is a work of journalism as well as an essay on journalism: it at once exemplifies and dissects its subject. In her interviews with the leading and subsidiary characters in the MacDonald-McGinniss case -- the principals, their lawyers, the members of the jury, and the various persons who testified as expert witnesses at the trial -- Malcolm is always aware of herself as a player in a game that, as she points out, she cannot lose. The journalist-subject encounter has always troubled journalists, but never before has it been looked at so unflinchingly and so ruefully. Hovering over the narrative -- and always on the edge of the reader's consciousness -- is the MacDonald murder case itself, which imparts to the book an atmosphere of anxiety and uncanniness. The Journalist and the Murderer derives from and reflects many of the dominant intellectual concerns of our time, and it will have a particular appeal for those who cherish the odd, the off-center, and the unsolved.
