Imperfections On The Edge — Michael Perry

What if what you thought was only a dream was, in reality, one long series of real events that happened -- to you?

Wembley is an average and very successful fourteen-year-old. Everything comes easily to Wembley: the good and the bad; but still not without effort. Of Welsh origin himself he can trace his ancestry back to both the Picts and the Celts. Once enemies this proud warrior blood is now combined and flowing through the veins of our 21st Century youth. His parents had left Wales in 1999 when he was an infant to escape the heavy hand of the last strong British policy towards the region, and leave behind them the memory of a second son lost in childbirth. They came to America where they settled near Portland, Maine. Through strange and fantastic adventures, completely unplanned or unexpected by Wembley or his family, he begins to sense that he may have a mystic and hidden connection to the magic and lore of his native land.
His nemesis is Evie Griffith, who has a common and similar secret unknown to Wembley. She has been alive and not aged a day since her birth in 500AD. He is tempted, teased, badgered and bullied by her. She is different. She has some sort of power; power to hurt him -- emotionally. He can't explain it. His friends and family don't understand it. No one can do anything about it.
Through Wembley's wide variety of interests he experiences strange, exotic, and uncommon, even disturbing adventures centered around business, farming, Scouting, service to others, theatre, military history, swimming and other sports, along with trips to Wales to visit his ‘Grans '. There is something about Wales that calls him back.
Some of Wembley's excursions -- his DreamTravels -- happen within our universe, our era of time. Most find him in an alternate reality; a second dimension; even in another universe, and always out of his own time. But each encounter with these strange and unusual far aways will lead him closer to his ancient home; and to his destiny.
