Ah, the sojourners in this captivating tale remind me of a man my grandma used to buy tea and a ham sandwich (with brown sauce, missus!) for when I was a kid. He never seemed quite ‘here’ but was always ‘there’. And sometimes, he would look me in the eye as if he had seen everything.
When I read your stuff, I feel like I'm a visitor to a foreign land where they speak in a strange mashup of English and some long-forgotten spirit tongue. Equal parts acid-soaked waking dream sequence and sheer poetry. Uniquely Jon T. Great stuff, man.
Out of body. Another perfect Jon T road trip. I swear, your stories have a staying power that's nothing short of supernatural. Second the novel idea. You should get on that. Like right now. I'll wait.
I'm go ahead and get excited. I think a JT original that breaks 20k-- that you would allow to break 20k-- would be nothing short of mind-blowing. Will be channeling good thoughts once the skies clear up.
Sooper doops ol' chum, I got strongly nostalgic feelins for a squat in the glum city and a gristly frank or two to chew on with my grubby companions
Thank you Murph. Always happy to share my meat snacks with you.

Brilliant, Jon.
I think ham sandwiches may be the shortcuts to transformative experiences. But who knows?
Especially with mustard! Maybe that’s the key?!
good one.
I think that’s the ticket.
Thank you Zivah
So visceral! I can taste those hot dogs..
I wonder if the protagonist is escaping from a cult or something like that?
Sure does feel like that. But! Did she escape it? Or is she creating it anew? I told JT I want this to be a novel.
Ooh, now there’s a thought! A JT novel would be awesome
Right?
I believe they have left that body and found a new host. Thank you Caitriana!
Beautiful descriptive writing. I felt like i was there. A very enjoyable read.
Thank you, Troy!
I sweaar, everything you write is so damn musical and just drips with memorability. I felt this one in my gut
Sheesh, thank you Will. Cant stop the rhythm. I’d say the same about you.
never stop dancing on that keyboard my friend
absolutely gorgeous read. never read anything like it - well done!!
Thank you Indi. Appreciate you reading ✨

Jeez thanks Shane. Can you write my bio for me?

yep, right after I weather the storm. Thank you Ken, you are my favourite reader.
You being serious, Jon? Don't tease me. You really don't want to know how many times I've reread Palimpsest. It would be embarrassing for both of us.
I may try, though, I don’t think I have the patience. But I have done a bit of speculative planning. A bit.
I'm go ahead and get excited. I think a JT original that breaks 20k-- that you would allow to break 20k-- would be nothing short of mind-blowing. Will be channeling good thoughts once the skies clear up.
This is so breathless and full of momentum. I love the pacing, the choppy sentences.
Happy to hear this kind of experience. Thank you.
