From the author of 'Desperate Shadows' comes a tale of grand proportions. Novelist Jason W. Blair dishes up another helping of mystery, suspense, and adventure in his forthcoming novel, The Garden of Ages, set to make its world-wide debut in early June. It's a tale that bends all known reality and offers readers an exclusive, firsthand glimpse into what lies beyond the borders of our world. Synopsis: To Walter Baines, this day was like any other. He arose very early and jogged several miles to downtown West Chester and back again. There was a mild pain rippling across his chest, but he ignored it. In fact, Walter had been ignoring his chest pain for nearly a year and a half. But this morning, after breakfast, it finally caught up with him. As he sat in the backyard with his son, David, Walter collapsed to the ground. He suffered a heart attack. And when he awoke, sometime later, Walter was in a beautiful garden with a man standing over him. 'Who are you?' Walter said, 'Where am I?' 'Follow the path, face your past, and above all...trust no one.' Sent on his way down an endless path, Walter embarks on a journey that will lead him through a world of discovery, wisdom, and danger. He is instructed to solve the seven riddles of the garden, contained in seven of Walter's memories, before he reaches the home of the Garden Master. If Walter succeeds, he will be rewarded with the opportunity to return to his life...but if he fails, he'll be trapped in the garden forever. About the Author: Jason W. Blair was born in Altoona, Pennsylvania. He is a poet, a novelist, a husband, and a father. Today he lives in the quiet town of Bellefonte, Pennsylvania with his wife Judith and his daughter Samantha. Apart from Desperate Shadows and The Garden of Ages, Jason has several more books that should be released in the coming year.
