ST. LOUIS, Feb. 5, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fantasy is a world without borders. That is why, people who stumble into it often get lost, while certainly well on the way to meet with an extraordinary experience. J.J. Goeders invites readers to stumble into his newest enchanted creation, The NIGHT of the MILLIONTH Dream-Revisited.
When Mary Puddlemire came back from the fantasy realm to start a family, she left her kid brother behind. Losing her brother tormented her even after marriage, manifesting in ever recurring tattletale dreams. One day, while spending the weekend at her family home, Spindlenook Cottage, her children discover a Peerat's key washed up on the shore. All at once, her memories of the mysterious experiences she shared with her brother came rushing back, and with a song playing in her head -- the book contains 30 songs; including ballads, waltzes, marches, and lullabies -- she sang a haunting duet, her voice partnering with that of her brother that comes from that other world. Meanwhile, across the miles, her husband, Perry, becomes inspired by a brief night tryst with magic and Mary's dreaming to write about her long-lost brother. Thus begins the discovery of what really happened to Billy Spindlenook and his mysterious whereabouts.
Book reviewer Stefanie Longwood of Yellow30 Sci-Fi wrote the following about The NIGHT of the MILLIONTH Dream-Revisited, "So, thus begins J.J. Goeders fantastic little tale that will delight you to every fiber of your senses. Goeders' use of wordplay makes this an enchanted work of skill and visual delight as Billy and his sister Mary travel with the Timit Sisters in an entertaining adventure that will leave the reader laughing, crying, and tingly all over. The NIGHT of the MILLIONTH Dream-Revisited makes the magic of Harry Potter dull in comparison. A delightful read for people of all ages."
"Mary Spindlenook is the primary storyteller, and she explains with much alliteration that a family of interdimensional witches by the surname of Timit (less formally, these witches are called Betwixit and Behindit) appeared one day in her brother Billy's bedroom and whisked him away. She attempts to follow him, and here the author shows the boundlessness of his prodigious imagination -- folks shrink to the size of teacups and ride around in them, various incantations are recited and magical jewels are described according to their multitudinous effects." -- Kirkus Discoveries
Exciting, witty, whimsical, and brimming with magical adventure, The NIGHT of the MILLIONTH Dream-Revisited is an incredible tale that will take readers to a fantastic realm of boundless possibilities. To hitch a ride to Goeders' parallel universe, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
