Daniel Grant’s mid-life crisis wasn’t at all like the normal, expected thing of a man in his mid-thirties. His had little to do with his job, his marriage, or any nostalgic ponderings of lost youth. Instead, he questioned the very basis of life itself, of why we were all here, were dreams--his dreams--real, and did humanity dream itself a mass dream? Perhaps most important of all, he wondered who or what beckoned him ever deeper into the surreal world of conscious dreams . . .

Unable to draw a clear line between reality and the imagined, Daniel awakens in the middle of a nocturnal roadtrip, meets up with the mysterious and precocious teenage Maggie-Leigh, and is taught life lessons he considers fantasy. His journey takes him beyond the edges of reality, upsetting the very foundations of life as he knew it. What he finds forever changes how he will live, think, and act--and even how life itself will continue to operate.

And this is only the beginning.

"If ever there was a truly suspenseful, real-yet-mysterious-and-complicated account of the known and unknown, psychic and psychological ingredients of our lives, this is it! F. P. Dorchak creates for us a most intriguing, interwoven and provocative account of our lifetime challenges in his Sleepwalkers, and I’m pleased to note this book is just the beginning of his published insights into the great probable mysteries of life, as we seek to explore and understand them. What challenges he creates, in this brilliant journey into those sleeping and awake questions we all have. Way to go, Frank!"
Rob Butts

"The trek with Daniel Grant into and through the fifth dimension of his dream universe, and back again, is colorful, fascinating, and fun . . . it’s almost like taking college metaphysics and philosophy all over again--except it’s easier to understand this "time" around, and a lot more exciting."

Frank has been studying and living his life philosophy–which espouses that we create, and need to take more responsibility for, our own lives, for over twenty-five years. He started out writing horror, but soon found he didn’t like focusing on the violence, yet loved the surreal, weird, and supernatural, and transitioned into writing philosophical, supernatural, and "Twilight-Zone-like" fiction, using Stephen King’s finesse as his model. Frank has been writing for about fourteen years (not counting his sporadic childhood years), and has had his short fiction appear in the U.S., Canada, and the now Czech Republic. He was born in Yonkers, N.Y., raised in the ancient Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, but currently resides along the Front Range of Colorado’s majestic Rocky Mountains, with his wife, Laura, imagination, dog, two cats, imagination, and a lone, but very active, goldfish, named Scully.

"Are you happy with your life?" Maggie-Leigh asked, breaking the silence. She turned to Daniel, the soft glow of the dash highlighting her concerned features.

"Am I happy with my life?"

"You’re not allowed to answer a question with a question, you know that."

"Sorry. It’s a loaded question."

"That’s why I asked. I figure I can learn quite a bit about a person."

Daniel held onto the steering wheel and pulled back with his shoulder blades, stretching his upper back. "Are you hap--"

"Uh-huh!"

Daniel relaxed. "Not in the rules, okay-okay."

"Why is it so hard for people to answer that question? Everyone I ask does the same thing. Procrastinates."

Daniel gave her a surprised look. He turned back to the road. "Your question cuts right to the quick, that’s why. It hits people where it hurts most. In their dreams."

"I guess I don’t understand why people don’t live their dreams--why live anything else?"

Daniel chuckled. "How old are you?"

"What does that have to do with anything?"

"You’re right. It’s not a fair question."

"Well, I think it is: what does age have to do with anything?"

"You certainly don’t give up, do you?"

"Am I supposed to?"
