by Chris Coppel
October 14-20
We’ve all visited places and dreamt of moving there. Kris and Ryan don’t just settle for the dream. Life has become difficult in Los Angeles. After receiving a surprise invitation to visit an animal sanctuary in Southern Utah, they drive 500 miles and enter an entirely different world surrounded by natural beauty and majestic creatures. They fall in love with the people, the concept and the location. Within three weeks they move to the sanctuary and begin their new, stress-free lives. They are living the dream right up until that dream turns into their worst nightmare.

About the Author
Chris believes that stories should be able to transport the reader to different places, where they can experience events and dimensions that have never been considered. Chris is able to write gentle fable-like adventures (Far From Burden Dell) as well as opening the pages into dark and terrifying stories where dimensions co-exist with indescribable evil. (Legacy).
