never was!

No Way Back Today by Eric Shoars is a hilarious, bittersweet tale
of childhood dreams and middle-age. It isn't just a novel, it's about not
letting go of your dreams, of taking second chances when you get them and of
never letting yourself down. The friendships between the four main characters
were amazingly developed, an inspiration to us all, and real people that we can
all relate toin some way. This story will make you laugh and it will give you
hope as it steadily marches towards the end; you will be cheering them on, you
will beholding your breath but, most of all, you will be compelled to read to
the very end and you will find yourself thinking back on your own dreams,
especially the ones that you never realized. Anything is possible if you just
put your mind to it. A fun read!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was a compelling novel not only
about secondchances and pursuing your dreams but about friendship and
self-worth as youmove through different stages of life. I'm a bit younger than
the protagonistsbut so much of what they felt resonated with me as I found
myself wondering ifthere are any dreams from my youth that might be worth
pursuing as I entermid-life myself. The evolution of the relationships with
Eric, Todd, Laurel, andLorelei was amazing and inspiring and shows that
friendship can remain nomatter how much life changes. It also seemed to me that
they "bonded"and their relationships matured as they shared their
experiences and as newopportunities arose for each of them as a result of
pursuing this dream. No WayBack Today is an excellent novel of inspiring
redemption and shows thatmid-life doesn't have to be a crisis at all - in fact,
it can rock! Great work,Eric Shoars! I loved this novel!

Eric Shoars is a serial
storyteller who considers the English language his playground and who never met
a pun he didn’t like. Eric is a modern day Walter Mitty with a serious twist.
His writing style is best described as “fly on the wall” putting the reader in
the shoes of the lead character experiencing what he does as he does. His
heart’s desire is to have a personal narrator for his daily life. It works in
comic books so why not in the real world?
No Way Back Today is Shoars’
first foray into fiction. His non-fiction works include Women Under Glass: The
Secret Nature of Glass Ceilings and The Steps to Overcome Them and Evil Does
Not Have The Last Word.
