Finding Inspiration from
Classics
By: Mikey Brooks
I have always been interested in
hidden worlds. Ever since I was little I used to believe that the gateways to
these worlds were closer than we thought. One day while exploring the woods
that surrounded our farm in Missouri I found the remains of an ancient house
that had been blown away in a tornado. The only thing left was a bit of the
foundation and a set of stone steps leading to an invisible door. I often
imagined as I stood there that if I just took one step forward I’d find myself
in a dreamland. A place where magic existed and adventure called.
It wasn’t hard for me to believe
in the magic of Oz because I had seen Dorothy’s house. On occasion I had found
numerous rabbit holes leading to wonderlands. I believed the woods were
magic—and they were. Even today I find a lot of my inspiration from the
mysteries hidden there.
I wanted to write something based off
the classics I had loved as a child. What if Oz and Wonderland were the same
place? They were both dreamlands after all. I also wanted a world that wasn’t
limited to just a few people to enter—I wanted everyone to visit it. The ideas
planted as a child carried on and became the inspiration for my book. I had
found the way into a hidden world. It isn’t Oz, or Wonderland, it’s Dreams.
I am excited to announce the release of
my middle-grade fantasy THE DREAM KEEPER. It is an action-packed adventure with
a toe in both the real world and the fantastic. When an evil shifter takes over the gateway to the realm
of Dreams, it falls to 14-year-olds Parker and Kaelyn to stop him. Their only
hope lies with Gladamyr, the Dream Keeper, but can they trust a Nightmare to
save their world?
