By: Elsewhen Press Al Murray, Managing Publisher of Elsewhen Press said “Ira’s new novel is both an hilarious romp through multiple dimensions in a variety of alternate realities, and a gentle satire on fate, ambition and expectation.

Welcome to the Multiverse (Sorry for the Inconvenience) Elsewhen Press adopts a digital-first policy, initially publishing new titles in ebook format and subsequently in print editions.
