The first review of TOMORROWLAND is in, and it's a very generous one, courtesy of Susan Weinstein at Not Another Book Review...my great thanks!
"The highly inventive stories in this debut collection address a fantastic yet familiar world, where shiny promises of fulfillment fall flat, age disappoints and love is not exactly the answer.
