The DPPstore Now Offers a New Collection of Short Stories by Author Julie Ann Shapiro

Flashes of the Other World, a collection of short stories, is now available in eBook format at the DPPstore for purchase and downloading 24/7/365.

Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) October 25, 2006 -- DPPpress (www.dpppress.com) and DigitalPulp Publishing (www.digitalpulppublishing.com), an eBook publishing and distribution company, are continuing to grow their online bookstore (www.dppstore.com).

New authors, independent publishers, and small presses are contracting with DPP daily, helping to create a bookstore that offers an eclectic array of literary offerings.

The DPPstore (www.dppstore.com) continues to build one book at a time and this week is pleased to announce the addition of Flashes of the Other World by Julie Ann Shapiro.

Flashes of the Other World (published by Pulp Bits) is a collection of short stories offering an original, often dark, and reliably quirky band of strolling players, human and inanimate, quick to perform the author’s personal brand of magical realism, surrealism, and theatre of the absurd.

Personal identity and connection are significant themes in the stories. Finding it, losing it, and longing for it.

“Though difficult to choose, my favorite work is Dragonfly,” says critic Meridith Gresher. “[The story documents the lengths a man spirals once bucked from the corporate fast track desperate to return to a child-like state and quite sure enough baby powder can get him there.”

Shapiro is a freelance writer and author. Her short stories and essays have appeared in the San Diego Union Tribune, North County Times, Los Angeles Journal, Spoiled Ink, Mega Era Magazine, Science Fiction and Fantasy World, Green Tricycle, Long Story Short, All Things Girl, Ultimate Hallucination, Edifice Wrecked, Espresso Fiction, Flash Fiction – Coffee Cup Series Issue I & II, ISM Quarterly and other publications.

The DPPstore offers eBooks from first-time authors to well-established experts. There is definitely something for everyone. Titles that were once only available in traditional print, and eBook titles that once upon a time were not as readily accessible, are now available through DPPpress (www.dpppress.com) at the DPPstore.

The store offers some free titles and all books are priced to suit everyone’s budget. Frequent buyers can reap the benefits of the Store’s rewards program. Purchasing and downloading books is as safe and easy as ordering from the bigger online bookstores.

The DPPstore (www.dppstore.com), a division of DigitalPulp Publishing (www.digitalpulppublishing.com), offers the best in eBooks from new authors and independent presses. Our eBooks are downloadable on an assortment of readers. The DPPstore – reinventing reading.
