The Find (Max and the Dream Time, #1)

Destinies aren't set in stone.
Max has two important goals: to leave his dying mill town and take Jamie, the love of his young life, with him. However, he knows that accomplishing these goals won't be easy in a small town where things never change.
One day, while exploring a pond, Max discovers a strange crystalline Orb. He soon realizes that the Orb possesses magical powers that allow him to see and alter the future. But he also learns that altering the future comes with consequences.
When the Orb reveals a devastating event in Jamie's future, Max becomes determined to save her at any cost. He risks everything to change her destiny and make sure that the tragedy never happens.
But how much pain can one person endure to save the one they love? Will Max's plan be enough, or will shifting the future cost too much?

Fortunately, in secondary school, my interest in reading was sparked. A close friend and an instructor, who took interest in a boy he later called 'The rebel without a clue.,' were instrumental in my learning the value of a good book. Both piqued my interest in reading.
My lifelong friend inspired me to read J.R.R. Tolkien and I became addicted to the fantasy genre. The instructor required I read interesting historical novels for academic credit. Frank Norris, Leon Uris, and Ken Follett are inspirations and fuel my love of history.
Born to a military family, it was logical that I follow the military tradition. However, after four years of "yes sirs" and scraping the wax off floors I decided there must be more fun in a corporate career.
Thirty plus years of work experiences across the globe, the corporate career landed me in Colorado, where I live with my wife and I can be close to my children and grandchildren.
