Renaissance in Short Story Interest Sees Short Fiction from Biff Mitchell Published at Fictionwise

(PRWEB) June 12, 2006 -- Ebooks and handheld reading devices such as phones and PDAs have spurred a new interest in short fiction, but the real force behind the movement comes from massive online ebook distributors like Fictionwise where readers can buy and instantly download individual short stories. Author Biff Mitchell has seven of his stories available at Fictionwise and he believes this is the way readers will be getting their reading materials almost exclusively in the near future.

Written over a ten year period, the last section was written while the author was working at a bar, passing pages to customers to read as they were written. The last page was written five years later.

Set on the banks of the Oromocto River, this story proves that the author should stick to satire and humor and avoid romance (with, of course, the exception of laundromances).

Set in Molly's Coffee House in downtown Fredericton, Still Life with Muse and Sax, was written exclusively under the influence of Miles Davis.

As of this writing, Surfing in Catal Hyuk is a bestseller at Fictionwise's sister site, EPIC, in the mainstream section.
