“Jon Batson is not just a writer, but a storyteller. His gift is making you experience what his characters feel and see while he slings irony and witty asides that make others wonder why you're laughing so hard. He looks closer at the ordinary world and determines what extraordinary things a person can do given the right circumstances. The result is a story that won't be put down.”
  ~  Alice Osborn, author, editor and teacher of “Write from the Inside Out.”

I read your fun Safe Return. I could hear you in every sentence. Easy reading, nice payoff, and a few surprises.  ~  Gary Young, Author

"Colorful, engrossing, and highly entertaining! Jon Batson has produced an evocative collection of engaging characters whose lives unfold in amusing, tragic and, often, unexpected ways that send the imagination gliding over each one's winding paths, hairpin curves and jarring potholes with the artistic finesse of a truly masterful storyteller."  ~  Karen Michelle Raines, poet/author

The hot girl of the office is trying to kill you - I mean really kill you. A visit to a planet where every breath is measured and another that will leave you breathless. These are tales of plausible futures where everything is strange yet expected, and tales of the present where the unexpected is rearranging your priorities with every hesitant step. $10.95 + $4.00 = $14.95

"Batson's stories are contemporary yet reminiscient of an earlier time -O'Henry, Raymond Carver and Edgar Allen Poe come to mind. Luckily for us although the aforementioned have gone onto their last edit, Jon will be with us for a long time."  ~  Steven Elliot, Falls River Books
