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.

In the middle of Colorado, a man who is beaten within a few inches of his death is found and nursed back to health. This man does not remember his identity or anything else about his life before Colorado. After meeting a “random” man at a store and following his instinct, this mystery man finds his way to New York City.</span></p> <p style="background:#ffffff;line-height:normal;margin-bottom:0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';font-size:9pt;"></span> </p> <p style="background:#ffffff;line-height:normal;margin-bottom:0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';font-size:9pt;">Kali begins to see this strange, homeless looking man around her kids and justifiably she is terrified for their safety. Her brothers in law (the Sperling men) seem to not think that this man is not a threat and puts him on their payroll. Kali becomes suspicious why the men seem to be so comfortable around this stranger and the more and more she really looks at him she begins to wonder if he could be her presumed dead husband, Ashton.</span></p> <p style="background:#ffffff;line-height:normal;margin-bottom:0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';font-size:9pt;"></span> </p> <p style="background:#ffffff;line-height:normal;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';font-size:9pt;">Split Images is mainly about vengeance and revenge and it is a rather dark read and makes you wonder to what lengths you would go to get your family back. Despite, it primarily being a dark read as mentioned previously, overall, it is a love story. Once again, Dilsa Saunders Bailey knocks it out of the park!</span></p> <p style="background:#ffffff;line-height:normal;margin-bottom:0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><strong><em><span style="color:#000000;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';font-size:7pt;">Reviewed by T.M.
