Revues:

From the Indie Journal;

"Musician/writer John A. Mayer has published a unique story composed of a series of letters. The Trip from Canada to Florida and Back will have you engrossed from the first line".

From Nicholas DeAngelis; editor, Melange Magazine

"I truly enjoyed the story; your writing style features active descriptions and has mellow flow that enhances the subject matter nicely. The lyric insertions are a fine touch, too. Being an avid music fan myself and a former college DJ, I can truly appreciate complementary components of story and song".

Revues:

"Fast-paced and entertaining. Nice flow. Nice work. Keep on truckin'". John McAleenan (1933-2002).
Pulitzer Prize nominee and Florida Today Newspaper columnist.

"Put it before them briefly so they will read it,
clearly so they will appreciate it,
picturesquely so they will remember it and,
above all,
accurately so they will be guided by its light."
