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.

When Heather Culebra becomes the toast of the literary world with her
bestselling vampire romance tales, it spurs David Justice - a devout
Christian - into action. Determined not to let Heather's seductive,
vampire-worshipping fiction condemn an unsuspecting world to hell, David
pens his own book, designed to enlighten humanity to the dangers and
foreboding evil of praising her works. Strangely enough, the passion of
their respective endeavors soon pours over into a downright magnetic
attraction between the two diametrically-opposed authors - despite their
efforts to fight it. The only problem? David's growing love and
affection for Cindy, a God-fearing nurse who offers the grounded
spiritual substance he lacks in his fleshly pursuit of Heather...in the
resultant romantic tug-of-war, which spiritual force will ultimately be
the winner of David's mind and heart?
<br /><br />In Against The Twilight, prolific author Donald James Parker has
crafted a clever, multi-layered romance tale that readers from all
backgrounds can appreciate. On one level, the unfolding drama, intrigue,
and suspense of David's love-triangle entertain is sure to entertain,
while on another level Parker addresses the much-hyped hold that vampire
mania has recently established over modern pop culture. In what has
become his signature fashion, Parker dissects the relative strengths and
weaknesses of the phenomenon, incisively dicing them into a fine dust
with the sharp blades of logic and reason. Supported by biblical
scripture and conventional wisdom, Against The Twilight puts up a
convincing fight in highlighting the flaws of idolizing anything rooted
in - and masked by - deception and ambiguity.
<br /><br />The latest enlightening offering from a standout literary talent,
Against The Twilight is sure to warm the heart - as well as unnerve the
weak-minded and easily swayed.
