Death Zone and Other Stories

An eclectic anthology of 20 short stories, some of which have been previously published, and are newer versions.

(excerpt from the short story, Death Zone)

Imagine putting a plastic bag over your head and bind it closed around your neck. Then, punch a pinhole in the bag where your mouth is and try to breath. Try to do that for two weeks straight. With a lump of stew you ate a week ago sitting in your stomach. With sub-zero wind constantly buffeting you; so cold, you don't dare expose naked flesh to it for fear of extreme frostbite. Wind so loud, you can barely hear what a person is saying, even if they stand right next to you and shout in your ear. If you can imagine this, then multiply that by ten and you will get an idea of what it is like at Base Camp 4 of Mount Everest.

About the Author

Mitch likes cake. He does not like zombies or clowns, even if they have cake.

He lives with his family in a suburb of Dallas, Texas and works in the IT industry. His first anthology, Death Zone and Other Stories gained critical acclaim. His writing has been selected and published as Best of Writing4All multiple years and has been published by Static Movement, Pillhill Press, Pantoum Press, Challenge, Thought Catalog, Red Fez, Outburst Magazine and other publications.

He has worked for Microsoft Corporation for over 18 years, has been married 25 years, and is the father of a son, adopted from Ukraine in 2001. With this background, it makes sense that his first, published full-length novel, Find My Baby, would be a high-stakes thriller interlaced with computer espionage, set with an American couple, attempting to do an international adoption.
