Dream Walker
Do dreams really come true?Much to Aislen Walker’s dismay, they do.Like most young women, she only wants a normal life—to finish school, become a nurse, maybe even travel the world someday. But one night she has a terrible nightmare, watching helplessly as a young boy executes a man in cold blood.What she wants to believe is only a bad dream turns out to be an actual murder! Is this all for real? Is she just going crazy? Or is she, as her dead-beat dad tries to tell her, a “walker,” one with a special talent for crossing into different dimensions? If she believes him she stumbled into The Stratum, a dimension run by powerful organization that manipulates and controls the real-world through it. And they really don’t like strangers wandering in, fouling up their plans or exposing their nefarious deeds.In the first book of the Walker Saga, Aislen must decide what’s true and what’s a lie, who she can trust and who she can’t and discover who and what she reallly is, in a reality where nothing and nobody is what they seem. This. Is. Not. A. Dream.

About the author
Shannan Sinclair
14 books15 followersThey say, “write what you know” and for Shannan Sinclair that meant writing the weird.
At a very young age, Ms. Sinclair began experiencing many strange and extraordinary paranormal events, from dream travels and actual hauntings of her childhood home, to psychic phenomena such as premonitions, telepathy, clairvoyance and clairaudience. She has even had the pleasure of several of UFO sightings.
After twenty years of studying mysticism, holistic theology, philosophy and quantum theory, Sinclair wanted to weave those concepts with some of her own experiences into a fictional adventure.
Her first novel, Dream Walker explores the question: is our mind really only contained to our brain? Or is it possible that space/time/dimension travel, although not yet something we do on a physical level, is something we have always done through consciousness?
Shannan Sinclair was born and raised in the heart of the Central Valley running barefoot through its pastures and throwing dirt clods at crop dusters. She had the courage to escape once, joining the Air Force and living in exotic places such as Japan and Texas, but soon found herself sucked right back into the undeniably charming vortex of Modesto, California.

This book and the world it creates have promise. The writing is slightly stilted in places (real people use contractions when they speak, don't they), but the premise was interesting. I appreciated the fact that the heroine wasn't immediately falling into bed with someone, because the first chapter had me worried. And there is a twist that, while I saw it coming, was appreciated as the author chose the road less taken. I don't have the sequel on my hot list, but I'll probably pick it up at some point to say if Ms. Sinclair can continue to build on what she's started here.

(I won this book through Goodreads First reads programme. Thanks to Goodreads and Shannan Sinclair!)
24-year-old Aislen Walker is training to be a nurse. She lives with her mother, and doesn’t know her father.
One night Aislen has a terrifying dream in which she is in a very strange city, and watches a man shot to death by a boy called Blake. The next day Aislen realises that this wasn’t just a dream, it actually happened!
12-year-old Blake is being held for murdering his father. He’s making no sense though, and repeating the same phrase over and over again, so has ended up in a mental health facility. When trainee nurse Aislen sees him, she knows that this is the boy from her dream, and her fears are confirmed when Blake recognises her and comes out of his stupor.
Raze is a gaming champion who works for a company called Infinium Incorporated. He was originally hired to test out new games, but has been promoted above that. Raze now has ultimate clearance, and can do whatever he wants within the gaming world, but he also has another job. Hidden within the game (Demesne) is a secret level which only Raze can access and bring players to. The secret is that this hidden level is not a game. It’s real, and if you die there you die in real life also.
Raze completed part of his latest mission when he took Blake and his father to the secret level and got Blake to kill his father, but Aislen’s appearance altered things, and Blake should have been killed too. Now Raze must complete his mission and find Aislen, to eliminate the threat that she poses.
Aislen is confused and doesn’t understand what’s going on, and the sudden appearance of her father in her dreams confuses her further. How is she seeing the things she’s seeing? What has her father got to do with all of this? And who is the stranger that’s after her?
This book is pure sci-fi, so much so that I didn’t understand half of the intricacies of the game at the beginning, and I’m still a bit hazy on certain aspects now! Funnily enough this does not spoil the story at all!
Aislen spends quite a lot of time in the dark in this book, and I can’t say that I’m surprised because I’d be confused too with the information that she’s been given. This seems to be the point though – Aislen’s journey through all the bizarre stuff that’s happening around her.
Raze is a strange character, and although he works for the gaming company, there are questions concerning his motives at times, which leaves you questioning if he is a good guy or bad guy.
Blake is just creepy. I have no idea what to make of this child, and the same goes for the love interest Troy. He’s nice to Aislen but there’s just something not right about him.
This book is full of twists and turns, the plot is complex, and the characters are not easily labelled as ‘good’ and ‘bad’. If I had to pick a negative (other than the initial confusion which is probably just me), then it would be that the story ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, and the sequel isn’t out until summer 2013! Please Shannan Sinclair I need to know what happens!
Overall, if you like Sci-fi you’ll probably like this, you will need to have your brain in gear to keep up with the plot though!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This multi-dimensional story has many layers to it, part crime mystery, science fiction, dream meditative states, astral projection, alternative reality with a game portal like feel with great characters, good pacing with enough twists and turns to keep you intrigued as you travel through the octaves.
Aislen’s brain is waking up or she is finally allowing some mental walls to come down and she is battling with her sense of what we perceive as standard reality to a very frightening new plane of existence. She is dreaming about a father she thought abandoned her and her mother. In her dream mind he is telling her he never really left her and appearing to leave her and her mother was for their protection for her to lead a normal life.
As she is grappling with the violence of one of her dreams coming true and processing that she may have inside information that no one would believe plus trying very hard not to freak out that she may be losing her mind. Aislen is finding herself walking the thin line of insanity or being able to take a mind blowing trip to unheard of dimensions if she can keep it together.
Raze master level mind manipulator is thrown for a loop when Aislen stumbles upon what he considers his private domain “Demesne”. Her raw power at first knocks him off kilter with his carefully laid public facade. As he finds out more about Aislen he is drawn to the irresistible lure of her raw energy. He is at war with himself; he is the hired gun for Stratum and has never had an issue fulfilling any of their wet work directives. He has now made allowances for both Aislen and for Mathis a cop that has had some uncanny insight into the possibility that the game may be more than just a game.
Aislen and Raze are on a journey that will eventually lead them to each other. Raze needs to find out how Aislen was able to access what he considered inaccessible by an outsider and end her. While Aislen needs to learn how to control her newly acquired gifts and whom she can trust as she tries to stay a step ahead of many factions that want her unique gifts for themselves.
One of the reasons for the 4 star rating was how the female characters were handled. It’s become so cliché that female seems to lose IQ points when a cute or hot guy speaks to them. The character seems to resort to giddy high school babble and their dialogue just revolves around how cute the guy is. It seems to take a while for any real substance to enter into their heads after first meeting. Aislen went back and forth between being flattered that Troy said cute guy liked her. One minute he was just a co-worker, the next minute how dare he smile at another woman after telling her he liked her. Then we can’t forget the over sexed or sexualized best friend/roommate that always seems to be paired with the virginal or very close to being a virgin female character, you know the friend that does all of the innuendo or hits on the guy. Which we could have a strong female lead that was able to have a conversation with a cute guy, acknowledge he’s cute and move on with their intelligence intact, without this standard gushy nonsensical fare that a lot of authors have been doing.

Mon avis en français
My English review
I didn’t really know what I could expect when I started this book but I confess I was very intrigued by this gorgeous cover and by this original synopsis. I think it’s always very interesting to feature dreams and in the same time it’s a very difficult task, because it’s complicated to predict them. So I get into this story with a real pleasure. It’s funny, I don’t know why but I was sure it was a Young Adult book… Well, no, it’s a real Adult novel.
I need to say I read a lot of self published books and I enjoyed some but I think this one is one of the best I've read. Shannan Sinclair has made an incredible universe in this volume; she created a world that is beyond anything we could imagine. It mixes video games, dreams and reality, a non common mix. Well it’s true we’re a little lost in the beginning of the book, but all along the chapters we can read the answers to our questions. But it's true we still have a lot to discover!
Aislen is an amazing woman who doesn’t understand what happens to her. I have to say we totally understand her; she has some strange dreams and she can no longer distinguish reality from the rest. We ask ourselves, like her, a lot of questions all along the story, and we still have a lot when we turn the last page. Mainly about her father or about the other characters we can meet. We don’t understand the reasons of their acts and it’s finally quite frustrating to stay in the dark.
We understand too very well the desire of our heroine to trust someone but I think it was quite sad that she doesn’t listen to the advices she can have and that finally she tells quite fast about her feelings and about what she thinks.
Like I said in the beginning, the story is very complex and it’s a pleasure to discover all the important events in the book. I think Raze was the character that intrigued me the most. We think he is a manipulator, a killer; well a bad guy and we hate him from the start for that. But the discovery of Aislen will change everything and I didn’t expect that at all. He had to go through a lot and we can understand why he became the person he is now.
This book was a beautiful surprise, we follow a lot of point views from different characters and it allows us to better understand their feelings. It’s very interesting to try to discover their motivations even it’s not possible to really know everything. I’m now very curious to read the second volume.

Book Title: The Dream Walker

Reviewed by Michele Tater for Review The Book
“Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.” Author Unknown
Aislen Walkers life was as ordinary as it could possibility be. She was living at home with her mom while working and going to school to become a nurse was her whole life. Not much excitement, but it is how she liked things. It all changes after a dream that was the most vivid of all of Aislen’s dreams she had ever had. So realistic and disturbing, however it was just a dream and it did not play out in real life, or did it? Aislen’s dream has pulled into a realm she knows nothing about. What does her estranged father have to do with these events? How does her last name relate to the abilities she many possess?What really constitutes realness and dreaminess/ video game or reality? There is a fine line between the heroes and villains, so who can Aislen trust? One easy way to find the answers: read the book.
When I first starting reading this book, I actually had to stop after a few chapters simply because it was, I found, a confusing beginning. I returned to the book days later and read it at a slower pace, and I was able to comprehend what was happening better. It is a whirlwind of a story line with little lull time. The author’s humorous and wittiness show through in a pleasing matter to make story be more fluid and believable.
Unlike some readers, I had no misgivings that the book was the first in a sequel. I actually like the idea of having characters that you become familiar with and can follow them through the exciting events of their continuing lives. I look forward to more books from this author, even if she may find another “world” she wishes to share with us.

I haven't received my copy yet, just got notification that I had won. 3/1/12
Received my copy and hope to start soon. Have 4 others plus my current read first. 3/6/12 Love the fast shipping time.
Just started this morning. 3/28/12
Finished yesterday 4/1/12
Aislen has a horrible dream. She sees a man killed by a young boy and it seems so real. The next day while at work as a nurse in the geriatric wing of the psychiatric ward, she finds out the cute new doctor she has a thing for wants her to consult with him on a childrens case. When they get to the room, she is looking at the boy that killed the man and he remembers her. What is going on? They are just dreams, right?
Okay, first, it is really strange that this is the second book in the last 5 I have read about online gaming and reality. The last 30 or so books I have read have all been goodreads wins, so I found that wierd. Anyways, about the book. I liked the characters and the story line. I am not a computer geek and I definitely am not a gamer, but for the most part the story stayed on the lines of the story, not all the mumbo jumbo of how the computer game works, so that was good. I did have my mind wander a little when they started "explaining" how the dimension traveling worked. I also have a nerve that gets hit everytime an author puts Mormons into their books without finding out who/what Mormonism really is. Don't beleive the hype! The sect religion the author meant to say is the FDLS, not the LDS or Mormons. Again, for strange coincidences, this is the third book this year having this misrepresentation in it. Oh, and how could you not like a book that has a great car in it? 1967 Mustang anyone?

Lately a read a book that have nothing to do with Dream Walker, but as I wrote a small review for this book, I realised that I had given it a 3 stars for basically the same reasons as I did for Dream Walker.
For me, a 3 stars really means "I liked this book", but it was not extraordinary.
The concept of Dream Walker is very great, it was the first time I read a story about a video game and the idea of mixing virtual game reality in parallel of the real one was really nice.
I found the story a bit slow during the first half of the book, and you don't really know in which direction the story is going. Plus each time you read a part with Raze and his travels in different space dimensions/layers, you don't know what is going on until more than half the book, and when I finally figure out what all of that means, I felt like I should re-read the first parts about him because I might have missed something important.
Anyway, I found the first half a bit tedious to read but I finally got into the story during the second half of the book and I really enjoyed the last part.
So, this is what my 3 stars stand for : a weakest beginning but a great ending !

Let start off with I absolutely adore this series....which is a curse because I'm the type of person that cannot put a book down when I love it. I quite literally get nothing done until I've finished.
Dream Walker by Shannan Sinclair is a Sci Fi action Thriller which takes you on a journey thru a game-portal that was created by a group to use multi-dimensional travel to control others.
I really enjoyed this story, really glad I gave it a chance! It is well written and I didn't notice any major editing issues. It has a good plot with some good twists
Can’t wait to start the second book in the series.

re read this in order to prepare for writing the 3rd book in the series.
I know I wrote it, but while readiing it I forgot that I had. My own story sucked me in and I was excited to see what happened next.
Do other writers have this experience? Where their writing doesn't feel like theirs?
Anyway, I got caught up in the story and forgot I was supposed to be taking notes. I wish all books were like that lol

This was an exciting story, with characters I learned to love, as well as villains that had depth and were frightening! It was definitely a page-turner with an ending that made me excited for the next installment. This is good visionary fiction, where elements of the paranormal were woven expertly into the story so that learning as well as entertainment could take place. I loved the dad character. Great job, Shannan!

Absolutely great read! Fast paced sci-fiction thriller that make you wonder if it's really fiction. Fans of Ancient Aliens, Fringe, and anyone who questions if and how the Gods, Angels, Aliens, etc have interacted with the human race over the millennia may question just how fictional this really is. Couldn't put it down.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This book is weird but in a great way. This book is so different from all the other books I have read. I'm ready to read the next book. There are so many characters that you don't know if there good or bad. It had some sad parts and happy.

When I first began this book I wasn't sure what to think of it. But I knew that I had to keep reading it. Shannan created such a great world. This book combines some of my favorite things gaming and the supernatural. It was a great read and I can't wait for the next one!!

An interesting first part of a series. It's a relatively lengthy read with interesting characters and plot. The plot had some parts I didn't quite expect. It's definitely worth the read.

Quite a long read but an enjoyable read. This book was definitely different from what I normally read and I really liked it.

I loved this book. Can't wait for the next book to come out. I loved the way the characters are all being brought together and the web it is weaving.
