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.

<font size="2"></font><p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana">&quot;I just had to email you and let you know how much I loved <em>His Brother's Child</em>. I really could put myself in the shoes of the heroine. I liked the way you developed her self esteem. Plus Edward sounded very sexy—if you find an extra like him, please send him my way!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Brenda</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;A Big Beautiful Heroine! </strong>Well, I am a big fan of Pat Ballard's work. I love how all her heroines are plus-sized beauties and have great hunks who love them that way. I also love that her heroines have class and style. They are strong women who can handle any situation put before them. <em>(His Brother's Child </em>is) not only a love story, but a story about hope. How it only takes one person who, with loving patience, can give a person the strength to overcome fears and to embrace life. I hope to read many more of Pat's books. Each one is a treat.&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">A reader from Albuquerque, NM</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;Pat Ballard delivers again! </strong>This book has you wondering about the ending from the first chapter. The book is not what I thought it to be—it is better. Another book by Pat you can't put down. If you don't have the first two, buy all three and settle in for a long, quiet time. Don't forget the wine!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Paula Johnson from W.P.B., FL</span></em></strong></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left">  </p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="left"> <font face="Verdana"><strong>&quot;Once again Ms. Ballard delivers!</strong> Ms. Ballard is proving herself to be the new Romance Queen of the new Millenium. Her new novel, <em>His Brother's Child,</em> heats up from the start and just continues to build that sexual tension until the explosive end. My recommendation is buy the book, find a comfortable place to read and ENJOY because you won't be able to put it down!&quot;</font></p> <p style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;" align="right"> <strong><em><span style="font-family:Verdana;">H.
