The prestigious MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) Journal has reviewed and recommended Dreamtime, paranormal romance novel by Paula Blais Gorgas. Journal editor, Dwight Connelly, states: Whether viewed as a good introduction to abductions or simply as a fun-to-read romance novel, Dreamtime is well done and is a welcome addition to UFO literature.
Although this is a book of fiction, it is clear that the author, a long-time subscriber to the Journal, has done her homework regarding the abduction phenomenon. The disruption of family life caused by abductions, especially by abductions which are not understood as such, is brought out forcefully.
However, the tone is not pessimistic, despite the fact that the abductions are seen as unpleasant, undesirable, and frightening by the participants.
This is also a story of two individuals falling in love, written by the author of Court of Honor, which won the Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart Award. The two main characters are Jeannie MacLeod, a small town reporter who wants to learn more about UFOs, and Dr. Denis Earley, a therapist who views UFOs as decidedly unscientific.
Their attraction for each other and their opposing views concerning UFOs result in a rather hectic courtship. Filling out the cast of main characters are Dr. Loren Price, a professor of history, who has an encounter that leaves him nearly disfunctional, and his wife Barb, who is Jeannie's pregnant sister. Thrown in for good measure is a government operative, who does his best to discredit the UFO proponents. Also included is the local UFO group, which is treated well by the author.
Ms. Gorgas, a native Rhode Islander, lives in eastern Oklahoma (where the story takes place) with her husband, a retired Navy officer. Her background includes work as an NSA intelligence analyst and children's librarian. Her website is at http://www.paulab.net.
Whether viewed as a good introduction to abductions or simply as a fun-to-read romance novel, Dreamtime is well done and is a welcome addition to UFO literature.
