Goal Scored: NHL veteran finds Much Ado About Corona a breakaway page-turner (that didn't get benched)

Blazing Reader,

Mark Bell has faced down 200-pound defensemen on the ice. Apparently, dystopian fiction doesn't intimidate him either.

A retired NHL forward player, Mark Bell has played for the Toronto Maple Leafs, San Jose Sharks, Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks.

He has also read my novel, Much Ado About Corona: A Dystopian Love Story.

You can read his slapshot testimonial here.

P.S. Between coaching power plays and serving on his town council, Mark Bell is skating between responsibilities faster than a winger on a breakaway. Yet he still found time to read all 500 pages of Much Ado About Corona. Find out what kept him turning pages instead of turning in early by reading his overtime endorsement.

John C. A. Manley is the author of Much Ado About Corona, All The Humans Are Sleeping and other works of philosophical fiction that are "so completely engaging that you find yourself alternately laughing, gasping, hanging on for dear life."
