~ The Dreaming: Old Shalon's Story ~ It's the year 2067, and I am living in the shattered remains of Old Vancouver -- after the Cascadia quake, after WW3, after it all ended. I've been surviving all these years through the help of a young boy named Michael, a wildling, an orphan, one of the Forgotten. He's been with me since he was a little one, but now he's all grown up. This morning he told me he's going to leave Old Vancouver. He wants me to come with him... But that's ridiculous! How can I do that? I'm too old for those kinds of shenanigans.... ------ The Dreaming is a novel series spanning over 200 years and designed to be read in ANY order YOU choose.

COMING SOON. Starting sometime late in 2015, I will post the last installment of The Dreaming, where these five narratives will collide.

Genesis never imagined that her world and everything she had ever known would fall down around her, but that is exactly what happened when the Foreigners came to take planet Earth. Now she and her family are hiding in the shadows of their former life just trying to make it from day to day while more and more Foreigners infiltrate Earth from the skies. Just when Gen and her family are getting adjusted to life in the shadows the Foreigners discover them, leaving Gen and her older brother Jason no choice but to go into cryo-sleep using the tanks that NASA developed for the military just before everything went down. They also learn that NASA has a plan to defeat the Foreigners and win back planet Earth once and for all. When Gen and Jason wake up from their cryo-sleep the world wears a different face than before, and they must set out on the dangerous journey to discover what exactly NASA has accomplished in the 75 years that have passed. The road is treacherous, but what Gen doesn't know is that her destiny is tightly wrapped with that of one of the very Foreigners she has grown to despise. He's an Azure and he holds the secrets that will seal the fate of mankind. **Note to all: Be prepared for longer, meatier chapters that will keep you on the edge of your seat, play with your emotions, and capture your imagination.
