Praise for A Time and a Place: Mahoney skillfully... uses Barnabus's multilayered adventures to yank readers into moments of comedy, tragedy, horror, and philosophical contemplation of time, free will, and personal responsibility. ...Mahoney's work is great for those who like their speculative fiction thoughtful, eloquent, and messy. Publishers Weekly A Sci-Fi Fantasy with literary notes, there is so much to love about this book. The magic of A Time and a Place resides in its rich description of places we'll never see-not even in dreams-and the people who must manipulate impossible situations to save their kith and kin. A.B. Funkhauser, author of Shell Game: A Black Cat Novel A Time and a Place provides an entertaining frolic through the imaginary blue and yellow purple hills of someone desperately in need of therapy. And I loved it! Written in a Neil Gaimanesque style of witty prose and existential, thought-provoking dilemmas, it will captivate you, entertain you, and keep you out of mischief until it's time for tea. Excellent stuff . . . and highly recommended. Andrew Weston, author of the internationally bestselling IX Series An intricate plot laced with Mahoney humour and excellent writing makes this a must read for all lovers of good books. Brian Wyvill, Author of The Second Gate It's a great book. Matt Watts, Comedian, Actor, Writer (Michael: Tuesdays and Thursdays, CBC Television)
