My first fiction work, published by Abbott ePublishing

I'm proud to announce the publication of my first fiction book with Abbott ePublishing, Short Journeys: Flash Fiction by Stephen Abbott.

Short Journeys is a collection of flash fiction stories featuring strange abilities, and how the protagonists deal with them, stories of the paranormal and otherworldly, time travel, and (a favorite subject of this author) people who can live for an extraordinarily long time.

You’ll also be treated to a mystery for you to solve and more than a few that plumb the depths of human terror.

Most of these 18 works are “Flash Fiction” stories, here defined as constituting stories of either exactly 500 or 750 words in length.

But as a bonus, a short-short story of mine, The Cell, is included an appendix. It is a bit longer than the others, and is set to be adapted into an upcoming short novel I'm writing.

The eBook is being offered for the rather incredible introductory low price of $2.49, and is available in Adobe .pdf and Mobipocket editions. It's Kindle-ready, readable on most handheld devices.
