REVIEWS OF LOWESTOFT CHRONICLE
Thursday 9/1/2011

"A tip of the hat (sombrero, fez) to Lowestoft Chronicle for fueling our urge to turn off Jersey Shore, toss our cellphones into a lake, and go embrace this amazing planet of ours. Bon Voyage!" — FRANZ WISNER, NY Times bestselling author of Honeymoon with My Brother and How the World Makes Love.

During the past couple of months we have received glowing reviews from some of our favorite authors. A special thank you to Tony Perrottet, Abby Frucht, and Peter Jenkins for some very kind words. We are extremely grateful to our friend, the gifted travel writer and adventurer, Franz Wisner, for his help, his humor, and his supportive comments. See our Reviews page to read what people are saying about us.

LOWESTOFT CHRONICLE 2011 ANTHOLOGY
Wednesday 5/18/2011

"This is a fine anthology that I found both provocative and enjoyable. Highest praise: it made me want to write short stories again." — LUKE RHINEHART

We recently received praise from a number of great writers, among them one of our favorite writers of all time, Luke Rhinehart — acclaimed author of the cult classic The Dice Man. The prestigious British magazine Loaded named it "the novel of the century," and the Telegraph, one of the UK's leading newspapers, included it in their list of the 50 Best Cult Books of all time. His exceptional books continue to inspire us and we are indebted to him for taking the time to read our anthology and offer his thoughts.

The Lowestoft Chronicle 2011 Anthology is now available to order online through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Borders, or you can get a copy directly from us. See our Shop page for details.
