Blurb:

Recently released from a psychiatric facility after learning that his Dream Sight is not a delusion but a gift, Charlie Oliver sets off to accept an invitation extended by a powerful Dark creature and potential mentor to join his “family” of Sighted individuals. As his demon guides begin to instruct him, Charlie quickly discovers just how little he actually knows about the Dream World and the creatures who inhabit it.

While Charlie stumbles through his lessons and struggles to harness his natural abilities, Emma Talbot has her own struggles to deal with now that she’s been taken from the facility and placed under house arrest. Imprisoned within the same walls as the man she suspects of being an adulterer and a murderer, Emma grows weaker while her world continues to crumble around her.

As Charlie begins to tap into his dormant instincts, he learns more about Emma’s past and becomes increasingly convinced that he needs to save her. But what if the very prison that binds her is the only thing protecting her from what lurks beyond?

Behind the Scenes:

People often ask me if I've always wanted to be a writer. I've always been a reader and a bit of a daydreamer, but I'm not sure I always consciously planned to be an author. Several years back, I'd just finished reading a wonderful series. It's always bittersweet coming to the end of one of those series where the characters have become so familiar that you feel like you're saying goodbye to old friends. I was dying to find another series of characters to fall in love with, and I was toying with the idea of writing one. When I casually mentioned it to my husband and immediately followed the thought with, "but who does that?" His response was, "You do." If he hadn't been so amazingly supportive I might never have started writing books. And I'm so glad I did because as it turns out, I absolutely love writing novels.

I actually kept the fact that I was writing a book secret from everyone but my husband, my sons and my best friend. It was difficult to get over the fear of what everyone would think of my work. My husband sent it off for a few professional reviews to boost my confidence and the positive feedback I received from those gave me the courage to share my book with the world. Had I known how supportive and enthusiastic everyone in my life would be, I would've told them all much sooner!

The whole process has been an emotional roller coaster ride, and I wouldn't trade a moment of it. Life is too short not to get out there and follow your dreams. No matter what the outcome is, you'll never have to wonder what might have been!

Blurb: All his life, Charlie Oliver has watched the people around him morph into creatures that no one else sees. Unlike the rest of the world, Charlie remembers the Waters that transport him to the Dream World each night and he sees glimpses of people’s Dream forms in the waking world. Condemned to spend his waking hours in a psychiatric facility because of his Dream Sight, Charlie doesn’t expect anything to change. But everything starts changing the day Emma Talbot walks through the door in the middle of a group therapy session.

Haunted by memories of the events that led to her admission, Emma plans to end her life the first chance she gets. But something about Charlie stops her. From the moment they shake hands, his friendship feels safe and familiar. As Emma begins to let down her guard, Charlie catches a glimpse of the fiery-eyed dragon that lurks behind her Dream form. Each night, as Emma dreams of the man who’s been banned from visiting, Charlie searches the Dream World for the monster that shadows her. But when Emma’s suppressed memories begin to surface, Charlie finds more monsters than he bargained for.

Behind the Scenes: My career as a pharmacist has afforded me the opportunity to interact with mentally ill individuals at various points along the spectrum of sanity and in every conversation, no matter how coherent, I've looked into their eyes and seen a soul struggling to connect. It was out of respect for that struggle and my own curious need to understand why some souls have been burdened with such tortured disconnected lives that I dreamt up a world to make sense of it all.
