"This author is bound to find an audience that has been waiting just for him." - Publishers Weekly Nine speculative stories from Tom Pappalardo. In "Mind The Gap," a man falls through time up and down instead of back and forth. "Bygone" tells the story of a girl and her beloved robot exploring the abandoned state of Massachusetts. In "This Town," a half-hit wonder finds all the time he lost drinking in the '90s. Career-minded cats, lethal landscapers, illegal sodas? Sure. A sleeping dog disrupts downtown, Death incarnate stops for a latte, a new dead friend at the old landfill? Yeah, why not. Full of humor, observation, and the innate grumpiness of a lifelong New Englander, these tales form an unforgettable collection from one of the most entertaining part-time writers part-time writing today. Praise for Broken Lines: "A rollicking, careening adventure... Pappalardo has created a world, and a book, unlike any other." - Foreword Reviews "An engaging, gonzo novel with a large dose of silliness..." - Bleeding Cool "A Douglas Adams-inspired road trip..." - Tulsa Book Review Praise for One More Cup Of Coffee: "Hilarious shorts... a consistent supply of laughs." - Publishers Weekly
