"As he proves emphatically with his new collection, T.D. Johnston is clearly one of the modern masters of the short story."-James Dodson, Editor, O. Henry Magazine Author Marjorie Brody writes of the dozen tales in Friday Afternoon and Other Stories: "This is an important collection. Powerful, provocative, and significant. To read a T.D. Johnston story is to plunge head first into the world of unforgettable characters, 3-D experiences, and stunning surprises."
