The story: Jonathan Aubrey is a loner, a scar-faced Frankenstein who keeps to himself. But in his OTHER life--he's a great student, runs track, and has the girlfriend of his dreams. Only problem is...it's not real. A horrific plane crash ten years turned him into a world builder, able to change his reality by making a new one. But on the day he accidentally tries to kiss his made-up girlfriend in the real world, something disturbing is set into motion and somehow, those two very separate worlds begin to merge. Now he's going to have to make some tough choices to keep any of his dreams alive.

Liz's comments: This was a really interesting story, with a clever alternative world built right inside our plain-old-vanilla one. Brooks keeps the plot spinning along with well-placed twists at just the right moment, and finishes up with a nice surprise. Too bad a shirts-off scene renders it unlikely that this one will be reviewed for MS audiences: it's a longer read, but cool sci-fi/fantasy.
