Summary:
What if dreams don’t disappear when we wake up? Haunted by her sister’s death, Gwen Stoker takes solace in her web of dreams—the Dreamosphere. But when someone begins destroying it, Gwen must find the culprit—or risk losing all her happy thoughts and feelings forever! Dreams come to life in this fantastical children’s tale!
EXCERPT:
"What do you think happens to your dreams after you
wake up?"
Gwen shrugged distractedly, too disoriented by her sudden
arrival in the remarkable setting to focus. "I dunno. They disappear?"
The unblinking gray eyes of her young companion flashed as she
leaned forward. "Incorrect. Every dream you've ever had still exists. All
of them. They reside in a dimension called the Dreamosphere. It's where we are
right now, as a matter of fact. Each dream basically exists as its own world,
or dream-orb. There are thousands and thousands of them, connected like drops
of dew on a gigantic spider web. Every dream you've ever had, Gwen. They're all
up here. And you can visit them any time you want."
Tabitha, the enigmatic child who shares this information, has
some even more shocking news. Gwen’s dreamosphere is in danger. Someone has
been hacking into it—destroying her dream orbs, erasing pieces of her past, and
affecting Gwen in more ways than she realizes. Together, Gwen and Tabitha
travel through the outlandish landscape of Gwen’s dream worlds to find the person
responsible. What will happen to Gwen when all her dreams are gone? What
critical clues lie within the pages of her dream journal? And what does Edgar
Allan Poe have to do with it all?
Laura Stoddard was born in Idaho and spent her formative years running amok in the great outdoors. She received her bachelors degree in English Literature from Arizona State University. After being rejected from the masters program for creative writing she decided that she didn't need a masters degree to tell her she could write, so she started really dedicating her time to finishing the story she'd started months earlier, with the goal of writing a complete novel, and getting it published. The result is her debut novel, The Dreamosphere, for which her own vivid, bizarre, and incomprehensible dreams provided the inspiration. Laura is an adrenaline junkie and will try anything once--or twice--or maybe three times. She can already check whitewater rafting, going down in a shark cage, and skydiving (three times) off of her list. Oh, and getting Lasik. It was five minutes of terror. She enjoys hiking, rowing, reading classic literature, embarking on new adventures and hobbies, volunteering regularly, and spending time with family. She currently resides in Phoenix, Ariz.
