Tomorrow's News Today

by Jeff Haws

The future is being written now.

Walt's life is crumbling around him. His marriage is in shambles, his editor at the small-town newspaper he works at wants nothing more than to replace him with a younger—cheaper—model, and he's running out of reasons to get up in the morning.

Suddenly, Walt finds that anything he writes comes true. With this newfound power, he has the opportunity to reinvigorate his life...at a cost.

In the spirit of Hitchcock and The Twilight Zone, Jeff Haws' novella gives a broken man the chance to alter his future.

[Ellen Smith · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the kind of story that stays with you long after you finish the last page! The concept is immediately appealing: an everyman that suddenly acquires a super human power. This concept is flawlessly executed in Tomorrow's News Today.

The main character, Walt, isn't just an Everyman-he's an Everyman I wouldn't normally like! I definitely wouldn't want to be his wife...or coworker...or boss...But through Haws' storytelling, I really empathized with Walt and was glad to see him getting a little extra help from this new power. At every turn, right up to the final twist, I was fascinated by the story and couldn't wait to see what would happen next! A great read!

Once again, word master Haws, write a page turner you will read in one sitting. I've read Haws' work before but the events in this book escalated quickly and left me breathless. Walter is a hum drum journalist whose life simply isn't going the way he's hoped until he finds out he has an unexpected power. You'll want to read on to discover what he does with it and how it impacts his life and the lives of those around him.

The only real downside was the protagonist was a very dislikable guy.

Intriguing Read

Haws, as usual, did a great job creating characters I felt like I knew. Flawed, real, relatable. He created these characters and then threw in a curveball. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it all unfold.
