The Dreamer
By
May Nicole Abbey
Genre:
Inspirational Romance (Subgenre: Time
Travel & Light Historical)
A dream in the
night. A leap of faith. A quest for truth and treasure.
From term papers and instant coffee to
blood-thirsty pirates and buried treasure, Rachel Madera, a gifted university
professor, finds herself travelling through time on a journey of discovery and
danger, all because of a simple dream. Despite the threat, Rachel is undaunted,
certain she holds the keys to unlock the mystery of a Pharaoh’s treasure … and
alter the course of history.
The only thing that stands between her and
peril is Captain Mallory Tucker, a man with a tragic past and intractable moral
code. Born of the sea, he is among the leading mariners of 18th century Europe.
But the derelicts who make up his crew and the capriciousness of the ocean have
taken their toll, and Captain Tucker is tired and jaded. The last thing he
needs is a precocious young woman dropping onto his ship and creating havoc.
But he’ll fight to the death for her honor, her beliefs…and her love.

Caroline Gregory and Shawnette
Nielson were born in Southern California to a tight-knit family. Caroline
earned her Bachelor of Arts in English from Brigham Young University in 1999,
supervising and managing a bookstore during and after college. She currently
has three children’s picture books that are in the process of getting
published.The first one, Puppy Stew, can be found on Amazon. Now a stay at home
mom, she resides in Oklahoma with her husband and four young sons.
From gymnastics and acting to
wrestling and construction work, Shawnette quickly realized that she had a
flair for the unusual. At the age of 13 she started gymnastics only to switch
it out for wrestling on the boy’s team her sophomore year in high school. After
graduating she held a variety of jobs and worked as a nanny in the summer
months. Although in essence a tomboy, Shawnette always longed for a feminine
role model in modern media. At the age of 21, she went to St. Louis, Missouri
to serve a mission for her church. She now lives in Arizona with her husband
and three children.
Frustrated with the morals and
messages found in much contemporary fiction, unable to find heroines with which
they could relate, and discovering many of their family and friends felt
similarly, Caroline and Shawnette teamed up to write a wholesome story that
contained page-turning adventure and passion, but with a strong, moral message
of God and honor.
The sentence, “I had a dream
once that I flew” came to Shawnette’s mind one summer afternoon in 1997.
Rushing around for a pen and paper, and unable to find either, she finally
settled for a computer with a printer that was out of ink. The words tumbled
forth without control and Shawnette’s fingers flew to keep up. Thus was born
the beginning of “Once I Flew”. In later years, she read those first few pages
to her sister Caroline, and together they developed the character of Rachael
(POV) as well as the adventurous story and path of growth that she goes on.
They both feel Rachael will be an inspiration to many.
