-Kirkus Reviews "The Long Journey to You is an in-depth portrait of an older man, whose age and past yield a rich panoply of experiences that are vividly described and artfully interwoven into the narrative. Meis' dialogue is fast and taut, heightening the growing excitement between Nathan and Mateo. While the novel is a love story about a spring/winter relationship, it also achieves a nuanced interiority that takes the reader inside a decades-long life."
-Laury A. Egan, author of The Firefly, The Psychologist's Shadow & more "In The Long Journey to You, Meis takes a not-quite unlikable character, manages to redeem him, and convinces the reader to cheer him on to a hard-won chance at life-changing and affirming love. Meis is particularly skilled in adding dialogue that is unexpected, irreverent, and at times, hilarious. Readers who desire meaty character arcs, exotic locations, and a non-traditional romance will embrace this fever dream full of loss, love, and hope."
-R.L. Merrill, author of A Peace Offering, Love Is All series & more "Vincent Meis beautifully conveys the depths of loss and heights of rebirth in this love story that will capture even the hardest of hearts."
-Pat Henshaw, author of What's in a Name, Foothills Pride series & more "The Long Journey to You is a well-crafted novel that balances romance, personal growth, and historical context. It's a story that not only entertains but also enlightens, offering insights into the LGBTQ experience across different eras. The narrative's journey across the globe, coupled with Nathan's internal journey toward understanding and acceptance, makes for an engaging read. I am certainly looking forward to more works from Meis."
