"This novel is beautifully written and well structured. Interweaving past, present and future, it explores such concepts as Carl Jung's collective unconscious and the effect of the destruction of our environment on human experience, yet never at the expense of the narrative and characterisation." Joan Rosier-Jones
"… its environments and activities, fantastic and realistic by turns, are delivered with sensitivity and flair, beautifully bringing to life the dreamlike worlds that so cunningly reflect back on our own. In The Time Lizard's Archaeologist, Trisha Hanifin offers an engaging but chilling view of the place we might see, not only in our dreams, if we fail to harness the positive power of our imaginations and listen more closely to our planet." Rachel O'Connor, teacher of creative writing and author of 'Whispering City'
