I’ve re-edited the series and have new book covers. I’m also changing the look and some of the pages of this website. It SHOULD be easy. However, Squarespace, my web host is not making it easy. I’ll keep working on it. Please forgive me if bits and pieces look wanky until I get it all sorted out.

The Dream Messiah Series is the story of a man who finds himself on the onerous road to discover his true purpose in life. It is a tale of trials and the consequences of decisions and actions.
Jake Barnes is living his dream, building a cabin in remote Alaska during his last summer before marriage. What could possibly go wrong? His odd neighbors, Dave and Anne, take him under their wings, while his buddies sarcastically warn him about the changes his life will take once he gets married. His life-long dream soon turns to turmoil and paranoia.
A prophecy about the end days of our planet is revealed. Jake's night-time dreams of flying grow vivid and foreboding while his fiancé grounds their relationship with her own agenda. Jake questions his own sanity, fearing an inherited family condition. All he wants is a normal life as his dream begins to collapse into a nightmares. But something larger seems to be guiding his life, but at what cost – to his soul?
In the series conclusion, Jake makes his way to the island of Borneo to track down a tribe of remote forest nomads – the Punan Dyaks. Jake finds more than he bargained for when he finally meets the shaman and learns more truth than he had imagined.
