With the help of a mystical guide and an aging wizard, they navigate the enchanted land while learning to control their newfound powers. Yet this realm is more complex than they expected, with seasoned sorcerers who've been corrupted by the sinister side of magic.Limited by natural law and seduced by magic's power, they are tested as never before. Will the gift of magic bring renewed hope or drive them to the edge of the void?

Nobody's Perfect is an engaging novel about a marriage of convenience — or is it? A 'plus-sized' woman needs to keep her childhood home, and a fairly egotistical man has had it for relationships, and just wants a mother for his son...a mother that, he hopes, he will not be physically attracted to and with whom he will not be tempted to share a relationship. Or so he keeps telling himself, but life and human hearts have unpredictable surprises in store, in this charming, witty, and tender love story with a twist." Midwest Book Review (July 2004 Small Press Bookwatch) "...once I started reading it I couldn't put it down! I loved it! It's so nice to read about a woman who isn't 'a perfect size six, and on the slender size' like so many of the other books I've read, or have her be a little heavy at the beginning of the book only to lose the 'excess' weight once she finds a man. Being a full-figured woman myself, I hope you start a new trend of books being written for real women! Keep up the great work!" A new fan, Tamara "I love how your heroine was a strong woman who felt comfortable in her body no matter what size she was. I hope you keep writing, because you have a talent that I envy. I hope to hear and read more from you." Brenda Condit "A Plus Sized Heroine! Yeah! Well, first off I must say a big thanks to Pat Ballard for giving us a heroine who is plus-sized and loves herself. It's not often we see one, so it was very refreshing to find one in this book. This is the first book I've read by this author and it won't be the last. It's a quick book. You can finish it in an afternoon. The story is easy to follow and filled with excitement and love. I really enjoyed this story. The author makes it quite clear that being a plus-sized person doesn't mean that you are unhealthy, stupid, or unlovable—it just makes you human." A reader from Albuquerque, NM "Ballard's Nobody's Perfect Near Perfect.Nella is so kind, beautiful, strong, and loving, the reader falls in love with her immediately. The fact that she is 'plus-size' is dealt with in such a manner that her being big is, indeed, a plus. In Nobody's Perfect, Ballard has created a heroine who has learned to love herself despite living in a society that inundates us with the message that thin is better. Ballard addresses stereotyping without preaching. Very quickly, size is no longer a character in this fun, fast-paced romance that the reader will love." Leona Lee from Franklin, TN
