Author Description

Dreams. Reality. Are they two sides to the same coin? The Number of Things is the story of a man, Carlos James, whose real life and dream world are on a collision course. His now ex‑wife, Annie, has left him to join a new age cult, the “clan,” and to save the Earth from an ancient foe. What’s worse, Annie’s sister Mallory has falsely accused him of murdering her. Meanwhile, sleep brings little relief. Frustrated by the inability to move forward with his own life, his subconscious has conjured up an ongoing dream of a British adventurer, Lord Percy‑Hastings, and his man, Trivet, as they lead an ill‑fated expedition to cross the Antarctic continent. The one bright spot in his life is his budding relationship with his realtor, Mary Lou Princeton, and her autistic son Eric. Indeed, it is Eric’s prodigious ability with numbers that finally weaves together Carlos’ real life and dream world.
