Short stories are a hit on Amazon's kindle

(prHWY.com) June 10, 2012 - Ft. Lauderdale, FL -- Author Chase Dean releases an erotic thriller exclusively on kindle entitled: Guilty Pleasures 'When a Spider Strikes. This crime/drama is a novella that customers enjoy because it's rather short and suspenseful. Not everyone has the time to read a full novel.

And for this reason, short stories are selling well on kindle and other sites. Rather than completing a book in a few days, customers are downloading these short stories and completing them on their lunch break. This is good news for authors who target that section of the market.

Here's an excerpt from Guilty Pleasures 'When a Spider Strikes':

The affair had death written all over it. Even after our first mid-afternoon tryst, I knew it could be the end of me, the end of us. She was Sicilian, and so was he. He was old-world Sicilian; the kind that unexpectedly slit throats in the middle of the night down darkened alleys.

I quickly came to my senses and had to call it quits. As I dragged my fingers through my chestnut hair and loosened my cobalt-blue power tie, I mustered the courage to call her. And that's when it happened.

She sauntered into my law office with an unlit cigarette and a venomous grin that would make a black widow blush. Her silky darkened hair fell across her sweet softened shoulders, moving effortlessly, back and forth with a flow that mimicked her hips.

It was hypnotic. And yet, this trance couldn't have come close to complementing the depth of her copper-colored eyes or that tiny cocktail dress that hugged every curve of a sultry Italian frame. She was all of twenty-five-years old, with a Sicilian look that could torment, and a kiss that could kill.
