Denise Cook

About

My name is Denise L. Cook, known as The ORACLE. I am a vessel, an Oracle forever after the order of Melchizedek. A wise woman with sage advice.  My book, The ORACLE Speaks... just because, is a book of positive, motivational, inspirational poetry, prose and song. The words I write are not my own, they are messages needed to be heard and understood. The words I share bring life to self-love. If music is the universal language of love, and 'harmony is the speech of Havona', then G-d's words are the universal language for life. I love my life, my children, my man and you, all G-d's children. Enjoy your read. Find truth between the lines and enlightenment and understanding in the content.

Description

<p><strong><em>Have you ever awoken from a vivid dream and wondered which side of waking was real?</em></strong></p><p>Burt Higgins' retirement is not going well. His children have grown, and his wife has gone off to earn a late-life degree, leaving him alone in his sprawling suburban home. With too much time on his hands, he broods on the state of the world, obsessively following the worst of cable news and the Internet. Increasingly angry at the state of affairs, he nurtures a fantasy that a dark lord from another realm has foisted these problems on humankind. If only he could transport to that world, he'd confront the demon and use the magic found there to defeat the beast and end despair forever.</p><p>On a particularly bad news day, while housebound in the midst of a snowstorm, he retreats to his study to shut out the world and immerse himself in his books. When, on a whim, he lights a candle purchased in an obscure Prague curiosity shop, a magical guide appears and offers to take him on whatever quest he chooses. When he asks to become a hero in a fantasy realm, he discovers a more complex world than he expected, and battling evil with magic turns out to be far from his greatest challenge.</p><p><strong>EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS</strong> a specualtive fantasy adventure sure not just to entertain you, but to make you consider your life, your dreams, your goals.
