This book is literally the stuff of dreams.
I went to bed one night in 2010, the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. As I tried to drift off to sleep but being unable to, I looked up at the ceiling and asked the Universe for a new book idea. That night I had a dream that contained all the essential story elements of this novel.
The next day I feverishly wrote down every detail and idea from my dream, combined it with some character outlines I had saved for another book project, and then began writing. Six weeks later, I finished the book, as fast as I had ever written anything novel-length before by a considerable distance.
The book as it is here is very much unchanged from what I wrote back then. It stands on its own, and I love it. I hope you will too.
