Press Release

New Book for Young Adults Traversing the Landscape of Dreams

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Braumaru, a new book for young adults by first-time author Veronica Tabares, takes its readers on an expedition through the magical world of dreams.


"A fortunate few get to experience the rarest dream of all," says Tabares. "This brand of dream has no connection to the imagination and does not occur in the human head. Instead, it happens in a realm of its own - in the baffling, mysterious, and dangerous land of dreams."


Braumaru, the first book in the Behold the Eye trilogy, follows Micah, a young boy who lives in a world very similar to our own. Micah has completed his Rite of Passage, but he awaits true manhood, when his birth gift reveals itself.


Meanwhile, Vickie, a 6th-grader in our world, wants some excitement in her life. In her attempt to write a ghostly bestseller, she begins to truly observe her world and its mysteries. That is how she crosses paths with an unscrupulous janitor who hopes to travel to Micah's world and satisfy his quest for power.


"What happens when someone discovers how to travel through the land of dreams, and the lives of our world become entwined with those of the other dimension" says Tabares. "Read Braumaru to make that timeless, magical journey yourself."

The Proof

It's such an odd sensation.

I hit "Publish" for my last post, and immediately the doorbell rang. It was my proof!

It is such a wonderful feeling to hold my own creation in my hands for the first time. In some ways the experience is quite like giving birth.

In both cases, there is wonderment that the time has finally arrived.
There is the joy of finally seeing what had before only been imagined.
And when emotions are finally calmed, there is the realization that in reality, the work was only beginning!

Because just as a child needs nourishment, guidance, and love, so does a book.

If I want my book to grow big and strong, I need to let people know it is out there!

Publication News

I received an email telling me that the proof copy of Braumaru is on the way!

I'll have it in my hands any day now, and if all is well, it will soon be available for everyone!

I can't wait to see it in print. I especially can't wait to see if my daughter's illustrations look as good as I think they will.
