Tomorrow and Tomorrow is the first published fictional novel from author Tom Sweterlitsch. Check this novel out for a dynamic, dystopian tale that will have you turning the pages to see what happens next.

The city of Pittsburgh was the victim of a deadly attack that turned the city to ash. It has now been ten years since that day, and the only thing that is left behind is the Archive. The Archive is a digital record, interactive, that keeps track of the people and the city. Since it’s been ten years, most of the world has easily been able to move on. The future is here, and it’s saturated with media everywhere you look.

Then there’s the lucky one, John Dominic Blaxton. He was there for the blast but was able to make it out. His wife and the daughter they were supposed to welcome into the world together were not so lucky. That was the day that his whole world fell apart, and ever since he’s been forced to stand in the rubble of a perfect life and know that he lost everything.

Going by Dominic, he now spends his waking days and hours in the Archive, immersing himself in yesterday and hiding from the present. His grief is all consuming, and he is obsessed with a past that no longer is. The digital reconstruction is able to be used by anyone that has the desire to revisit places they care for or people they want to see again.

Dominic also works for insurance companies, looking into deaths that have been put into the Archive and try to close cases. One day he notices something off. He’s found code glitches about a crime scene that involved a woman’s body. She had been beautiful and had been left in a park in the mud. His interest is spurred by the details of this case.

He wants to know who this woman is, and why someone would be attempting to get into the system, as it appears that someone is trying to do. Why would they want to erase her life from the system and delete any trace of it?

Dominic must know the truth. But taking on this journey to discover what really happened will take him through a spider web of deception that will bring him from the Archive’s darker spots to the city ruins and the center of a terrible nightmare that just might be worse than he ever anticipated.

Can Dominic crack the case without getting himself deleted in the process? Get a copy of Tomorrow and Tomorrow to find out!
