Spring Grove, PA Author Publishes Short Story Collection

(PRLeap.com) "Collection of Short Stories", a new book by Beck Thomason, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

Having grown up in the South, Beck Thomason had lived his life with Southern charm and hospitality. After his death, his previously unseen collection of short stories is now compiled into a single volume of small-town Southern life. A star baseball pitcher has his wildest dreams come true, only to have the fear of his rival haunt him. A young man watches the potential love of his life turn to partying. Three boys play a prank on another for a load of laughs, but with a new victim in mind comes an unexpected and brutal outcome.

Addressing racism, morality, faux and real Southern charm, Beck Thomason illustrates the complexity of the hometown goodness of the South.

Beck Thomason was proud of his Southern heritage. He loved his friends and family and remained a humble man all his life.
