Print: $14.99 All Solange Ambris ever really wanted to do was to live each day as it came, with whatever that day would bring, and try to appreciate how beautiful the world was. She wanted to marry and have kids and live happily ever after. An everyday life was fine, because her nights were so extraordinary -- Sully could remember and even control her dreams as she slept, freeing her to roam through remarkable worlds of insight and fantasy.
But controlling dreams requires the dreamer to have faith that she can manipulate the symbols of her subconscious, and Sully's faith is shaken again and again by her disastrous marriage to the sensuous Adam, the complex and sometimes bitter relationships with her family, and the prospect of growing old alone. The world seems intent on robbing her nights of their magic and painting her waking hours with despair and disappointment.

Central Pennsylvania was our home until a year-long job assignment turned us into Californians. There was no cure for that, nor was there any cure for the sudden onset of Fiction Writing that infected Sand in 2001; maybe it was some virus that Bernie had carried for most of his life. While Sand had in the past been a homemaker, a teacher of religion, an administrator, and a hardware junkie, her early retirement saw her turned into a maniacal writer, a tale-teller of low fantasy and of stories of women's encounters with their own souls. The occasional poem is ... unavoidable.
Bernie stays away from poetry, preferring insightful sojourns into the nature of spirituality as well as off-beat science fiction.
