The town Dreaming is located in the middle of nothing. It was created by the Almighty God to be the only safe haven in a dangerous, ravaged world...or so the story is told. And the theocratic government of Dreaming makes sure that everyone knows that story as truth. Within the borders of the town, people are safe from the enemies on the outside: criminals, heathens, and the greatest threat of all -- unholy wielders of magic known as Manifests. Like everyone she's ever met, Portia Carew has lived in the town Dreaming for her entire life. But as a Manifest herself, she alone understands that the myths surrounding her kind are slanderous lies, and she's begun to doubt everything else that her fellow citizens accept as absolute fact -- even as she conceals her abilities from them day after day. As she searches for the truth, she comes to discover that the answers to all of her questions may be contained within a legendary, unabridged history book known simply as the Dreaming Manifesto...if it even exists, that is. Portia is certain that it's real, but the trouble is, getting to it would require a miracle. It's a shame that she doesn't believe in miracles anymore...

~ 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. Start with any of these that interest you: - 2257: Imorah's Story --> Imorah has lived her entire life underground in The Shelter, with a religious cult called The Family. She's never seen the sky or breathed fresh air and The Family is the only thing she's ever known. One day Imorah's Grandmother disappears. They say it was a suicide, but Imorah knows better. The only clue Imorah has is the book that her Grandmother left behind -- a book that Imorah can't even read. - 2257: Liran's Story follows a young man who struggles to survive in the deserts of what is left of North America. One day he finds an old technological relic -- a robot head that still functions -- and Liran is thrust into a dangerous web of secrets and lies. - 2063: Old Shalon's Story --> this is Old Shalon's Story, please read story blurb above. COMING SOON. Starting sometime late in 2015, I will post the last installment of The Dreaming, where these five narratives will collide. Five lives bound together by an ancient book whose language has long died out, in a time and place where books are not only taboo, but could actually get you killed. The Dreaming: a place where time has no meaning, and everything is connected. All rights reserved. Copyright by Shalon Sims, 2019.
