Fractured Dreamer

Beschreibung

Curse-bringer. Dream-thief. Demon-lover. That's how shamans are known in Affiza, and Bassim is beginning to fear it might apply to him. Why else are the people close to him collapsing into a cursed sleep? Why else is he the only one who can see the shadow-selves within them? He needs someone who can understand him... and a shaman's wishes have power. Borne by blood and longing, the elemental tide in his veins, his wishes bring him Alec, a boy from another world. Reserved, obedient, straight-A student. Alec has always followed the rules. But, somersaulted into another world, he feels fully alive for the first time. With Bassim, there's freedom, adventure... maybe even love. But how can it be love when it's built on a lie? When Alec wakes up in London every morning, he goes back to living as a girl. If Alec can't bring the fractured halves of himself together, not only his heart will break-so will Bassim's entire world. Fans of Maggie Stiefvater and Aiden Thomas will love this bittersweet romance about finding your centre, finding home, and finding joy in who you are.

I am interested in reading - and writing – books that have some meaning, some impact; that do not just entertain, but make us into better people. Fiction has great power to change us: we take the hero's journey with them, and so stories can lead us deeper into the truth of who we are. I have always loved fantasy, but as a born cynic I would ask myself, ‘Isn't this unrealistic? Why does good always triumph over evil?’ But I have learnt to find this truth in fantasy: good always triumphs over evil because this is an inevitability. The story follows our inner journey, the one each of us must take over our lifetime: a journey from darkness and struggle that always holds the potential for light. Each one of us has that potential to conquer our inner demons and find our own enlightenment; that potential is indestructible, and the darkness within our mind is only a temporary obstruction. So, good will always triumph over evil, in the end. The novels I write will, I hope, be one little spark to illuminate and encourage that inner journey. I live in a Buddhist community in the middle of nowhere. I walk in the woods every day, and would probably be happy never to go into a city again (as long as I have access to online shopping). There is a lot of insight I have gained through meditation in my writing - but my books aren't Buddhist books. I just try to inspire everyone to be good and kind and happy.
