Meet Me in Atlantis is a futuristic road trip filled with imagery and the hope of brighter tomorrows; with the ever looming presence of a military force that does not want to lose its grip on what’s left of society.But, before I begin – let me say that it is important to remember the timeframe of this book – and more importantly – how it was written.  We literally meet our heroine post-disaster. The end has already come – and there are survivors!  However, the survivors come from a different world [a slightly different Earth – but the same Earth]; and without giving away too much . . . some of the inhabitants are, shall we say – unusual. Alien?  Oh, no – I’ll let you discover that for yourself.Anyway, on this Earth, the inhabitants have embraced their inner most selves, and draw upon their mental prowess – far more than we do today. Psychic endeavors are a way of life for them; and hard for us to relate to – as ‘we’ are barely conscious pond scum – [try saying that five time fast, I dare ya!]Meet Me in Atlantis spans a fourteen day period [that’s all] and its charm is reminiscent of a diary – a post –apocalyptic diary, written to record and preserve the memory of what was, what is – and what will be; as our heroine struggles with the separation she feels from her husband and children [not knowing if she will ever see them again, while spending every waking moment dreaming of their reunion]; as  she  struggles to survive and adapt to new surroundings, new threats – and new people.The end leaves you with hope! I can’t wait for book 2 – for the reunion I know is coming, and all the adventures in-between [for our heroine and her beloved family] – and her ‘new friends’. And if military factions will stay ‘butt-out’ we will have a happily– ever –after for the ages! [But you know how those types are.]Hurry volume 2!
