Breathing in the fresh air from the water, a light mist is rising from the surface allowing the air to cool even more as the sun sets further. My cloak warms me, although I have pulled the hood down to my shoulders so I can take in more of the scene. I sit cross-legged with the cloak lying over and around me where only a sliver of my front is visible, my long red hair hanging almost touching the rock beneath me. I close my eyes and begin to meditate, chant, and rejuvenate my own spirit. There is a man off to the side watching me. I look at him and he smiles at me.
“Who are you?”
“I am your Grandfather. I am here to journey with you through our history and teach you many great things.”
“What is your name, Grandfather? Where are we?”
“Charles. This is the world I knew many, many years ago. This is the place you live now. Virginia was chosen for its natural beauty and power.”
“Why did I talk about spirits needing me? What is this dream?”
As I feel the blurb is teaser enough I am just going to hop right into what I thought about this book. I liked this story, found it to be a well written tale where it was easy to connect to the characters and be drawn into the story. My mind’s eye had no trouble seeing the places described in the book. The triangle was interesting and played out well without being solely about love. I am fascinated by Elizabeth and her powers, and the elves, can’t wait to see what else pops up.
I more than happily recommend this book, teenager and up because it is good. I can hardly wait to read the next one. This was my first meeting with Ms. Dyess’s work and I am telling you I am going to grab a couple of her other books as I truly enjoyed her writing style. Many thanks to the author and Lady Amber’s Tours to making this book available to me to read and review, it was a refreshing change of pace. Four stars for A Witch’s Dream World.
Cheryllynn's
vivid imagination comes through in all she does in life. Her writing started in
junior high and although she never truly shared her work until recently she
kept them hidden away in an old tattered orange folder. Original works she
wrote from 1984 still holding ink on the pages are now being shared. Science
Fiction and Fantasy are her favorite genres with mystery and thrillers in close
running.
Born in
Northwest Florida and raised in Southeast Georgia she gained a love for nature
and the outdoors. After almost twenty years in the healthcare industry and
obtaining her Bachelors of Science in Healthcare Administration/Healthcare
Information Systems she has returned to her love of writing. Currently living
in Central Texas with two of her four children, she has begun a new chapter in
life that has opened her heart and soul to many great adventures. Her dreams
are to one day return to her native homes and settle in for life with her kids
and all her family and to continue writing.
