Best Paris Stories anthology slated for release June 2012

Feb. 14, 2012 - PRLog -- Paris, February 14, 2012; Summertime Publications Inc is delighted to announce the publication of BEST PARIS STORIES in English this spring..

BEST PARIS STORIES is the anthology of the finest short stories submitted to the 2011 Paris Short Story Contest  Talented authors selected by the Editorial Committee and Finalist Judges include: Jeannine Alter, Bob Levy, Lisa Burkitt, Nafkote Tamirat, Marie Houzelle, Jo Nguyen, Julia Mary Lichtblau, Mary Byrne, Marie Houzelle, Jane M. Handel, and Jim Archibald.

Description: "For some, Paris is home, for others, merely a dream. For Gaston, it is a bench, the anchor of his life. For Sue, a romantic city filled with scandalous, dark-eyed men, for Frank an all-consuming fire, for Mme Santinelli a ghost she'd hoped to forget. By turns humorous, bittersweet, historical or surreal, each of these carefully selected stories invites us to explore a different facet of Paris."

BEST PARIS STORIES were selected out of hundreds of submissions by eleven distinguished judges from a shortlist nominated by the Paris Short Story Contest Editorial Committee in collaboration with Paris Writers News.

BEST PARIS STORIES Judges include: Elizabeth Bard, Cara Black, Janet Skeslien Charles, Charles and Clydette De Groot, Penelope Fletcher, Nicola Keegan, Anne Korkeakivi, Diane Johnson, Robert Stewart, Heather Stimmler-Hall, and Charles Trueheart.

BEST PARIS STORIES will be available in both paperback and ebook.
Book reviewers are invited to contact Summertime Publications for a review copy.
