Incredible Stories!

This writer has what it takes to accelerate his prose to a professional and yet, entertaining level. This collection of relatively short fiction does nothing but gratify the readers preconceptions of what short fiction should be. With little to no format or grammatical errors, this piece truly stands apart from much of the other works published through lulu.
It is clear the author has taken the time, effort, and patience to create something entirely unique and offers a hefty contribution to the craft. While I did not always understand certain plot choices (such as the ending to story 1 which can be read in the preview) or certain stylistic choices (such as ending stories with single sentences), these issues in no way inhibited my experience with Freeland's writing. The stories are fantastically woven with a mixture of old world prose and style, combined with a new world flare and creativity. For someone truly looking for a blend of crafts and genres, then look no further than 22 in Time.
I would and will recommend this piece to my friends and colleagues and look forward to future works by this incredible author.
A book well worth reading...

It's not often I come across a gem like this. 22 in time is both adorable and heartfelt. The value lies not in its ability to make you smile, but that there are so many diverse stories within that no matter what kind of reader you are - there's plenty to enjoy. I would recommend this book to both old and young readers of any level and trust me, the stories just keep getting better as you read on. 22 in Time is a diverse collection of short stories priced shockingly low and ready for your bookshelf.
Also, I have a new horror novel coming soon!
- The story of a young woman abducted in the Northern California mountains, thought murdered by her estranged father and now fighting for her life and the life of her unborn daughter, a child who might possibly foretell the fate of all existence.

Here's the reality of the book industry: in 2004, 950,000 titles out of the 1.2 million tracked by Nielsen Bookscan sold fewer than 99 copies. Another 200,000 sold fewer than 1,000 copies. Only 25,000 sold more than 5,000 copies. The average book in America sells about 500 copies. Those blockbusters are a minute anomaly: only 10 books sold more than a million copies last year, and fewer than 500 sold more than 100,000.
