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.

To find oneself alone in the sunset years for whatever reason, puts male or female in the same boat--- getting on, but not dead yet.

However, nowadays, there is the online dating world. Suspicion and disdain that has often been associated with this venue is beginning to evaporate. In the twenty-first century, placing an ad for the perfect partner is on the cusp of becoming a widespread singles’ phenomenon although it is not without its pitfalls Nevertheless, young people these days, take to it like a duck to water. Using the web to find what they need is second nature. Plane tickets, books, eBay items and household goods among other things are obtained online; why not dates? The concept is a little more difficult for an older person, but not impossible for computer savvy, senior singles. Why should the young have all the fun? The pursuit of happiness is a universal phenomenon. Grandma discovers that it is never too late to play the relating game.

Thanks so much for writing it&quot; Luanne</div>   <div>&quot;Whether you are familiar with online dating or not, you will be surprised and amused at the length a determined lady will go through to find romance. It seems that age is no impediment and may in truth add to the mystique as Kayla embarks on her &quot;quest&quot; for the right partner. Who knew that ladies in their seventies could be so sexy?&quot; Jules</div> <div><br />  </div> </div>
