Devastated by his father's sudden death, eight-year-old Ricky begins to see things--a ghostly silhouette in his bedroom window, a gruesome train accident involving four local teenagers, a terrorist attack that won't occur for another twenty-five years. After a traumatic incident at a New England summer camp, the visions become more frequent, more vivid, and more disturbing. A mysterious voice assures him everything will be okay if he crosses the ''threshold.'' But just what is the threshold? And what lies beyond? An inspiring tale of hope, faith, courage, and profound self-discovery, ''A Hero Dreams'' takes the reader on an epic journey along the furthermost frontiers of human consciousness and into a miraculous realm where anything is possible.

Mark Ristau took a giant leap of faith when he left his career as a corporate attorney to tell a story that had burned inside him for years. Selling his house and most of his personal belongings, he packed his car and migrated from Minnesota to the Gulf Coast of southwest Florida, the setting for the story's prologue, which recounts an actual event from Mark's childhood. Five years later, ''A Hero Dreams,'' the first novel in the Hero's Path series, was ready for publication. An avid reader and film buff, Mark is particularly fond of stories that dare to fill hearts with hope and minds with dreams of possibility. His favorite book is ''To Kill a Mockingbird'' and his favorite movie is ''The Shawshank Redemption.'' He credits his daily yoga practice with keeping his head clear and his life in balance during the writing process. Born in Chicago and raised in South Orange, New Jersey, he currently lives in St. Paul, Minnesota.
