Mona is taken to realms of existence that are normally forbidden to most, realms that exist beyond the imagination. Dreams meld into reality forcing Mona to confront just how crucial her work as a Dream Keeper is. The previous threat that had imposed itself onto the astral realm still exists causing a ripple effect which manifests itself as a shocking revelation upon the waking world. Along with her fellow Dream Keeper, Danny, Mona must first delve deeper into her mind to uncover her own truths and fears which are holding her back. The discoveries and beings which impose themselves into Mona’s world have a deeper meaning which must be unearthed before she can move forward. The truth is her only hope and at the same time it’s frightening. To unleash her true power, Mona must choose between what is right for her and what is right for everyone else too.

Referred as "The feel of a New Harry Potter Epic Series" Soliza's new work, The Tales of the Dream Keepers: The Legend of the Dream Castle makes me think we could be seeing the birth of a new set of epic stories for young adults. This time instead of witchcraft and muggles the reader is enticed into a swirl of a story by an uncanny and wonderful cast of characters from the Interstellar Black Hole Vortex and the magical Gumdrop Mountain on Pandora Island 'somewhere' on earth. In the first tale, three brothers, Victor, Rudy and Walt, and the beautiful Britta face the evil SnitchSnatchers from the Black Hole Vortex who can steal your dreams, whishes, energies and desires. With the help of giant mice with names like Sir Thomas, Twitty and Tweet, and Zeek, a white horse who wants to be a zebra, the intrepid foursome must find a way to reach the Dream Castle on fabled Gumdrop Mountain and defeat the SnitchSnatchers. With wonderfully imaginative new twists and turns at every step the Dream Keepers Legend is one page-flipping story. I highly recommend it. Larry Pontius, Former Marketing VP for Walt Disney and Disneyland, 'Waking Walt' "What an accomplishment! Your story is fabulous and I am impressed with your creativity and marketing plan for your books. I would be more than happy to help you in any way because you are a friend and most of all a genuine person with great ideas..." Sandy Murman, State Representative Children's Advocate The Tales of the Dream Keepers: The Legend of the Dream Castle, was one of the Top Award Winners in the 13th annual SFWA 2004 Novel Writing Competition.
