FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Los Angeles, CA – April 21, 2025 – Buckle up for a literary journey that’ll grip your soul! Bestselling author Markus McDowell unleashes As a Mere Breath: Short Stories, a spellbinding collection from Keledei Publications, an imprint of Sulis International Press. Available now in print (ISBN: 978-1-958139-63-9) and eBook (ISBN: 978-1-958139-64-6), this book is ready to haunt and inspire readers everywhere. Grab it at major retailers or from the publisher.
This collection of eight stories dives into the raw, fleeting moments that shape us. In “Fishhooks,” a man battles the creeping weight of small choices. “You Made Your Bed” unravels a life crumbling under neglect, while “Train Wreck” probes order and chaos in Italy’s countryside. Feel King Arthur’s moral weight in “Battle-Weary,” or shudder at a man’s fate in “Louison.” From a coder’s burnout in “Motivation Null” to the sting of “Schadenfreude,” McDowell’s tales are as diverse as they are unforgettable.
“Life’s moments slip by like a breath, but they leave scars and stories,” McDowell says. “This collection captures that fragile beauty and the fight to find meaning.”
Known for Onesimus and Nuff Sed, McDowell’s knack for blending grit and grace shines here. Living on a California boat and globetrotting, he infuses his work with vivid, universal truths. Fans of literary fiction, historical drama, or introspective tales will devour As a Mere Breath.
