Robert PeaseEvolved publishing presents the first book in the "Joey Cola" series of YA Urban fantasy adventures. [DRM-Free]Praise for Dream Warriors:“I loved Noah Zarc, Mr. Pease’s MG trilogy. And I enjoyed his recent grown up fantasy, Shadow Swarm. But this is his best book yet.” ~ Michelle Isenhoff“I must say I was very impressed with this book. Very enjoyable. It even had me jumping off my bed in anxious excitement at one point.” ~ J. Rivera“This was truly an amazing read! Something that I have not read before, which is what I love... ...the ending of this book took me by complete surprise! I finished it last night but am still in shock.” ~ Erika Messer“A thrilling story of adventure and intrigue with more than its fair share of twists and turns. Joey Cola is a new breed of hero.” ~ Susanne Powell“Action, romance, magic, and mythology.” ~ CelestialInterview with the Author:Q: What made you want to write a young adult urban fantasy series?A: When I was a kid there was no such thing as YA fantasy. We had some books for kids, like the Hardy Boys series (which I devoured,) but for the most part, if you wanted fantasy, you read what the adults were reading. But nowadays the adult stuff can be a little extreme, so I wanted to write a young adult fantasy novel that teens would love, with all the action, adventure and even a touch of romance, but I didn't want something I wouldn’t want my teens reading.Q: Is this the first book in a planned fantasy series for teens?A: Yes. I’m really enjoying my foray into young adult urban fantasy and have some fun ideas for sequels. My plan is to make this a trilogy.Q: How do you define Teen Urban Fantasy?A: That’s a really good question. A quick perusal of the titles on Amazon will show a pretty large variation in the types of books shelved under this category. Many seem to be geared more towards moms than their kids. I’d probably say the Joey Cola series is more of a teen fantasy adventure with an urban flavor to it. Urban meaning it’s in a modern setting (NewYork City) but also much of the story takes place in what I call the dream world—a place where the laws of physics don’t apply.Q: Do you have any other books written, besides this young adult fantasy trilogy?A: Yes, I have a middle grade science fiction trilogy called Noah Zarc, and an epic fantasy called Shadow Swarm.

Driven from his home by the Ku Klux Klan and still reeling from the death of his mother, Nathan moves with his father and grandfather to the desolate Pea Island on the Outer Banks of North Carolina to start a new life. Fortunately, life on Pea Island at the end of the 19th century is far from quiet. The other island residents include the surfmen--the African American crew of the nearby U.S. Life-Saving Station--and soon Nathan is lending an extra hand to these men as they rescue sailors from sinking ships. Working and learning alongside the courageous surfmen, Nathan begins to dream of becoming one himself. But the reality of post-Civil War racism starts to show itself as he gradually realizes the futility of his dream. And then another dream begins to take shape, one that Nathan refuses to let anyone take from him.
