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.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">Tarra Young</span></strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /> &quot;Robin has written a collection of poetry that I found to be very uplifting and inspiring. When you are feeling down, these poems will lift your spirits and give you a feeling of hope. Robin is a very talented poet.&quot;<br /> —<em>Romance Author/Poet</em></span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">Pier Tyler</span></strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /> &quot;Robin's book A Lifetime of Words: Spirit For The Soul captivates you, motivates you to ask what you will, and moves to inspire you to evaluate where you stand with God. Robin's writing mission is helping multitudes by reminding you what prayer, faith, and love in god can do for you. It impels you to be bold and stand on His word as you share it with others. I know because I am forever changed after reading &quot;And God Said No&quot;, &quot;New Found Strength&quot;, and &quot;Pathway&quot;. This is a highly recommended read. Simply stated: Noteworthy.&quot;<br /> —<em>author of Abstract: A Kaleidoscopic Collection of Poetry</em> </span></p><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal;"><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"></span></p><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;"><strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">Terri Ann Armstrong</span></strong><span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /> &quot;Robin Gorley's A Lifetime of Words Spirit For The Soul is another vivid, magnificent and majestic portrayal of Robin's heart and soul. Like her first book. A Lifetime of Words, Robin reaches into her life and brings out her deepest feelings. Her love for the Lord is evident and rings eminently through the pages of this crisp and loving portrayal of who the Lord is to her and the role He has played in her life. &quot;<br /> —<em>Author of My Soul Has Spoken</em></span></p><p></p>
