Chad Strong Releases New Short Story Collection

VICTORIA, British Columbia - Aug. 1, 2017 - PRLog -- Available for e-book pre-order now, Thursday, August 3rd, 2017 marks the official launch of Chad Strong's latest book, Mixed Grazing: A Collection of Short Stories, so titled because the stories are culled from a variety of genres including Western, Suspense, Fantasy, Supernatural, Contemporary, and Young Adult. "These stories have all been published before," Strong says, "But some are hard to find elsewhere. I decided to gather them into one collection in response to many requests from readers for me to do so. I'm very grateful that people are enjoying my stories."

Mixed Grazing will be released in paperback through both Amazon and Barnes & Noble for $5.99, and in e-book formats at .99 cents for Kindle, B&N's Nook, iBooks, Kobo and many others. Readers can download the e-books from their favorite online retailer or through Smashwords.

Like High Stakes, some of the stories are set in the Victoria, BC area, where Strong grew up horseback riding and hiking along densely forested west coast trails. He hopes locals will enjoy the familiar settings – and forgive him when he takes a pinch of artistic license for the sake of the story.

"It was very uplifting to receive a note from a gentleman who said he knew the Bear Hill and Elk Lake area and found himself right there again as he read the story. I can't say how great it is that readers will reach out and share an experience like that with me."
