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.

Story Behind The Book
The jungles of the Yucatan, Mayan ruins, looters, a mysterious artifact, and a nosey reporter are focus of Mayan Intrigue.

From valuable artifacts to shady businessmen, the Yucatan Peninsula becomes a dangerous vacation spot for John and Julia Evans.
Reviews
In this book, John and Julia venture to the Yucatan
Peninsula to take a relaxing vacation and nurture their marriage, which has
suffered as a result of John's neglect (due to his work as a knife maker).
Julia is also on assignment for the newspaper while in Mexico, and the couple
is joined by their bachelor friend, Paul, a dedicated archaeologist. What
starts out as a romantic trip quickly turns into a dangerous adventure among
the Mayan ruins and jungles, and the vacationers are on the run from
thieves--and wild animals! Excitement prevails, and this book is full of mystery
and suspense.<br /><br />Linda's writing is lively and down-to-earth; she has the
ability to make you feel as if you're in these stories, along with John and
Julia, trying to decipher the truth and escape from harm. Before reading these
novels, I didn't know much about archaeological thievery, although I was
introduced to artifact theft when I interviewed Linda. -- Suko’s Notebook
