Reviews

better lands has propelled Susan’s name into the creative world as one of today’s rising authors, leveraging the real-life tragedy that was bestowed upon everyone and bringing the fictional dystopian story to life. With resilience, Susan introduces the reader to hundreds of struggling survivors who were thrust into a worldly, life-changing, chaotic event that was filled with more vengeance than COVID-19, wiping out over two-thirds of the world’s breathing population and infrastructure.
The story tells the all too familiar dystopian tale of destruction and devastation caused by life-threatening environmental and unexplainable outbreaks, ones that have taunted us for centuries and will forever continue to rear their ugly heads.
- LA Weekly
The year 2020 is an unforgettable period in human history as the COVID-19 global health pandemic disrupted the entire world. Mandated lockdowns went into effect worldwide as governments tried to contain the continued spread of the virus. Confined to the four walls of their homes, many people sought a creative outlet for their boredom. While some found solace on social media platforms, Susan Clawson retreated to her long-time passion for writing and crafted the literary masterpiece ‘better lands’, a five-book dystopian, drama series.
Aptly titled better lands, the main focus is not on the virus and its destruction but is a classic, fictional, yet realistic story about human resilience after two-thirds of the world’s breathing population and most infrastructure was wiped out by a couple of back-to-back virus strands.
- Disrupt Magazine
better lands came highly recommended and I agree this book is one that is hard to put down. The characters are so well developed with such great articulation by the author. A great suspense series…. can’t wait for the next book to launch.
