“Overall, every story focuses on the extent of our ability to adapt as human beings, including the ethical message of compassion, determination and tolerance. Erickson’s knowledge in the cognitive field clearly shows and makes each story much more substantial.” – 5 stars, Lit Amri, Readers’ Favorite Reviews
"Time is for Dragonflies and Angels, the new book from sci fi author J.M. Erickson is a collection of short stories in the tradition of the classic science fiction writing compendiums, evoking well-loved writers such as Aldous Huxley and George Orwell, with clear influences from other giants of the genre as we go along.
Time is for Dragonflies is most certainly worth a dip for any fan of science fiction looking for fresh directions to steer their imagination to new realms." - 4 stars, Self-Publishing Reviews

Synopsis
Carlos Rodriguez has everything. He has a solid career as a clinical therapist; he has a successful doctor wife, three beautiful daughters, and a modest home in an upscale neighborhood. But when he takes an earlier flight to surprise his wife on their anniversary, he finds her screaming in ecstasy in their bedroom as another man satisfies her.
Fortunately for him, his cool, collected cousin Colleen who drove him home was there to keep him from killing them both. She also pulled together a plan to make sure that his wife and her rich parents didn’t kick him out and take away his kids. But for the plan to work, Carlos will have to be patient and develop a “moral fluidity” that Colleen has long acquired as an escort.

“This tale of courage, conviction and adventure will most likely thrill any reader who has the good fortune to come across it. I'm hoping for more flash fiction from Mr. Erickson. To See Behind Walls is most highly recommended.” – 5 stars, Jack Magnus, Readers’ Favorite Reviews
“ For those with a vivid imagination, the sky’s the limit. Altogether, an inspiring flight of fancy.” - 5 stars, Marta Tandori, Readers' Favorite Reviews
