Book excerpt: A #1 New Release in Action & Adventure Literary Fiction! For most people, sleeping is an obstacle; something to get out of the way so they can get back to their day. For others, it's an escape to nothing; a blissful break from the wears of life. It's the opposite for me. I live so that I can dream. I trudge through work so that I can go home and close my eyes, awakening in the real world-one where dreams really do come true. A place where I can fight a king instead of my ever-disappointed boss, where I'm a warrior instead of a glorified telemarketer. A place where I matter. Tigers instead of taxes. Monsters instead of men with too much power. Reality is just the word we came up with to accept a boring life; a birthing place for grander ideas we so desperately wish could come true. I choose to live in a world where they do. ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ ◆ Lost in a Dream is an adult fiction in the vein of Ready Player One, but with fantasy elements in place of sci-fi. It is a bold and unique novel that has something for you to love.
