The Beginning

Seven years ago, my imagination opened a portal to an ancient landscape.  Layers of time peeled away, and I was thrust into the consciousness of one who had lived in a time and place now lost to memory.   This Neanderthal man and the epic adventures that make up his life’s story may be fictional, but as I write his experiences it feels as though I am recording actual history, rather than composing a literary work.  Bringing to life the peoples and cultures of Ice Age Eurasia has enthralled and inspired me, and I can’t help but think I will miss being immersed in their world when the series is complete.

Introducing: “The Dreamer” Book Series

4 Comments

The Dreamer is a series of novels that follows the life of a young Neanderthal man, Tris (the Dreamer), his father Tor, and their Cro-Magnon friend and neighbor, Black Wolf. At the time of the Earth’s last Great Glacial Period, Europe was inhabited by at least two peoples: the Neanderthal and the Cro-Magnon. Although this primitive world was filled with a harsh and stunning beauty, it was also a brutally difficult period in mankind’s history. Humans struggled to survive against the dangers posed by an inhospitable climate and their perilous position within nature’s food chain. As the story unfolds, Tris’s dreams figure prominently, but it is really an ongoing adventure that revolves around family, friendship, love, social conflict and endurance against the odds.

Click on the tabs (above) to read about the 3 books that are currently in the works.  The first book, The Dreamer – The Beginning,  is in the final proofing phase and it will become available for sale this fall.   The Dreamer II – The Gathering is going through pre-copyediting edits and The Dreamer III – The People of the Wolves is starting the first draft stage. 

A new Dreamer book will be released each fall until the saga has reached its conclusion.  At this writing, a minimum of six books are planned, but there will likely be many more.
