Seattle,WA (PRWEB) March 21, 2017 -- Kindle Direct Publishing, a division of Amazon.com, announced today the publication of a new short story collection entitled: More Tales from McClane. The new book is an entertaining collection of short stories that all take place in and around the small, fictional southern IL town of McClane. The author, Ford R. Phillips, grew up in a very small town in southern Illinois, much like McClane, and these stories and the characters therein are all derivative of that experience.

These stories are a continuation of the author’s first volume of short stories found in East of the Sun and West of the Moon. The significance of the book’s title is explained in the preface. “Now, said the old woman, I think you had better take my horse and ride to the East Wind and ask him. It may be that he knows the way to the land East of the Sun and West of the Moon.”… from an old Norwegian folk tale.

The little mythical town of McClane, the setting of both books, is now “east of the sun and west of the moon.” It no longer exists, except in the distant and dust-laden memories of all the people who have left it. The town is no longer there. It has been completely swept away by the repeated wave actions of time.

The author is available for telephone interviews. For more information about Mr. Phillips’ books visit https://www.amazon.com/author/fordphillips
