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.

As a retired occupational health nurse of many years (I had the responsibility of running a department that provided OH services for 6,000 staff in the NHS) I was delighted to see Julia's excellent book. It is one that is invaluable for all those working in preventative medicine within the NHS. The health promotion department throughout all hospitals in the UK and the USA, should promote this book, and encourage all healthcare workers to adopt its regime. All primary care doctors would find the book invaluable. The reduction of sugar in the diet, and a change in eating habits, could make a huge difference to all those nurses who develop health problems due to obesity. Julia makes eating sound fun, and the photography makes one want to rush out and buy delicious vegetables and fruit etc. I wish that it had been available in my department, as a guide and teaching aid, when I was in practice.
