The Phoenix, the Tiger, and the Rose

by Jennifer Battershill

Overview

"It's hard to stop loving someone when they're always in your dreams, haunting you, taunting you. It's sick love, the kind of love you'll die by fire like the phoenix over and over for, the kind of love that transcends logic, time, and death."

In the summer of 1982, a teenage girl named Veronica began having recurring dreams of a strange man. A man she's never known in her waking life, but it feels as if they've always known one another. A deep friendship begins, which blossoms into a long-term love affair in her sleeping world. Several months after the dreams started, it stuns her to see his face on a record sleeve. Alan Runner, the lead singer of a famous British pop band that had become a worldwide sensation, and the chances of getting to meet him outside the dream world were nearly impossible. Accompanying the dreams are coincidences and indications in his lyrics that he is dreaming of her too. But not all dreams become happily ever after. Life isn't a fairytale, and this is a story about soulmates trying to find one another despite impossible odds and the cruel universe that continues to keep them apart.

A tale spanning decades and includes passages from Veronica's dream journal, some of her poems, Alan's lyrics, and plenty of REM intimacy with a man she always hoped would save her during her darkest times.

About the Author

Jennifer Battershill lives in northern New Jersey with her husband and children. She has spent most of her life with one foot in the supernatural realm and began experiencing paranormal events at a young age. She bought her first Tarot card deck with the money she earned from babysitting and would spend hours at the library just like the character in her book. She has had contact from the beyond in various ways and sees writing as a magical outlet, the same for any creative endeavor. And if she is skipping out on doing the laundry or cleaning, you can find her outside with a camera. She sees soul orbs in the daytime, which is unusual, but then again, New Jersey has a popular magazine dedicated to strange phenomena such as this and so much more.
