New eBook: "Short Time" -- now in paperback

https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/449065




From the Smashwords site:

"Short Time
by Syrus Durham

In 27.6 hours, Suzanne Sawyer will cease to exist.

With little tolerance for error and a desire for immediate results, she has relentlessly pushed her scientific research team forward with one goal in mind: miniaturizing organic matter. Though they resent her treatment of them, they know they’re on the verge of a breakthrough. While preparing for their latest test, a computer malfunction traps Suzanne inside the reduction chamber. Her team tries to power down the system and unlock the door, but they are seconds too late. After a blinding flash of light, Suzanne is knocked unconscious.

She wakes up in the familiar surroundings of the lab, angered by the team’s failure which cost her a few inches of her height. As time passes, her desk chair rises higher and her clothes grow looser. The exposure is still taking effect, and calculations confirm that she’s shrinking at an alarming rate of two and a half inches per hour. Her team must quickly develop a method to stop and reverse the process—and save Suzanne’s life—before time runs out. As the lab and its occupants loom larger, she investigates the mishap only to discover that it wasn’t an accident.

Someone wanted her to disappear."


This is a slow-shrink novel, so the shrinking process progresses throughout the book.

And if it sounds familiar to some of you, it's because it is. But I've revised the story since its original 2000 posting (on whatever forum I was posting to then), made it a little more mainstream palatable (hopefully), and even added a few new twists. Feel free to pick up a copy, and if you do and like it, please consider leaving a review.

Thanks so much, and wish me luck!
--Sci

Re: New eBook: "Short Time"

Well. This is a must-buy.

EDIT: Wonder if I should refine a couple of my older ones and put 'em up on Smashwords? Gawd, I need to finish Wolf Lake though...

Ah, back in the day...

Short Time was 2000; The Shrunken D.A. was completed in 2005.

While I've revised Short Time to hopefully make it appealing to folks outside our little community, there are no plans for Shrunken D.A. because I'd hate to have the house of mouse breathing down my neck!

Still, D.A. is somewhere deep in the SW Fiction forum over at Min's. Along with some other newer stuff, including the long-awaited continuation of Just a Few Inches.

Howdy.


As a long time fan of Scidram's work, I can't begin to say how exiting it is to see Short time get published. Anyone not familiar with it, I highly recommend it. It's a great SW mystery with lots of twists along the way keeping you guessing all the way up to the end. Even after it still keeps you thinking.

Re: New eBook: "Short Time"

Just wanted to give everyone here a special thanks if you purchased a copy of "Short Time."

It's currently listed among the Fiction Best Sellers on the Smashwords site, and if you further sort by genre, it's listed as the top best seller in both "Thrillers & Suspense" and "Science Fiction."

https://www.smashwords.com/books/cat...lers/0/any/any

A proof copy of the paperback is being sent to me, and I'll let you know when that's available.

This is still very surreal to me, and I thank you all very much for the support.

Sincerely,
--Sci
