Books that be; books to come

In the Pockets of Dreams by Wendy Schultz

Dave Peltier, a  26 year-old  computer systems representative, is, according to his own view, an ordinary guy. When a painting purchased from Astrella's  Antiques and Curios catapults Dave into a powerful dream experience, it also triggers a long-suppressed talent from his childhood. As Dave's ordinary  life is forever changed, he is forced to rethink who, or what, he might be and whether the woman he loves will be able to accept him.


Where to  find  "In the Pockets of Dreams"

This  256 page novel is  my  first  published novel. It is available at Amazon.com in both Kindle and  softcover versions;  as an  ebook at  Barnes & Noble and iTunes  Store, as well as Kobu.

On the horizon

Book number  two has been completed, right down to both developmental and copy edits.  Although  this novel  about a  nine year-old  faith healer who  loses her faith and  builds a life  without  the help of religion, God or angels  is  not  a paranormal story,  some of the  characters and elements from "In the Pockets of Dreams"  appear like Easter eggs  in it.  Titled, "Home of the Dragonfly,"  it covers  the  life of  Mary-Kate/Hosanna Watling Paulette Falkner Chapman on her journey from credulous child faith healer to betrayed teenage fugitive to determined self-reliant adult who believes in nothing but her own abilities.  Polly has a  lot of names, but there are reasons.

Book number three also borrows from "In the Pockets of Dreams."  Barry  McGrath from the  Orphan  Train  is the main character in this  story of a  boy's search for his father across 1920's America. Mentors in hobo jungles , encounters with  the KKK,  and  Depression-weary farmers  guide  Barry along the " Road of Polished Stones."

One hundred and seventy pages into "Road of Polished Stones," I decided to shelve it for a while and start another novel. That novel, currently untitled, is now a completed first draft. Fresno Bakersfield Ingersoll loathes her embarrassing name. When she takes steps to change it, it becomes a secret that she shares with none of her new friends, but that's not the only secret Fresno has. She's a baby channeler. She can hear them before they are born; she knows what they are feeling and what they need. Having two secrets makes her different and she just wants to be normal.
