Linda Hawley (Author)

Book Description

Synopsis of The Prophecies Trilogy:

It's the near future, and society is government controlled. Technology tracks everyone, and personal privacy does not exist. The hope for freedom lies in the operations of an underground organization, GOG, which fights against worldwide oppression. Their most powerful weapon is Ann Torgeson, a paranormally-gifted operative. When her powers release the seal of The Prophecies, she becomes a weapon against the government, which relentlessly pursues her.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Raves for The Prophecies trilogy:

"Dreams Unleashed begins brilliantly with a chase scene that rivals Tom Clancy's best work."

"This modern day 1984 is just as riveting as Orwell's novel, but if I had to choose, really choose, I'd take Hawley's series over Orwell any day. Why? Not only has Hawley created a unique futuristic novel, but she's also done much research into current events of our time, weaving them into her story and making it even scarier than 1984 ever was."

"Linda Hawley's skill is right up there with the best adventure writers, and her books are important."

"It's like a present that you are slowly unwrapping layer by layer."

About the Author

The Prophecies series you're reading, or deciding whether you should read, was born just after the author survived a near crash in a passenger jet. Thankfully, she lived to write this trilogy.

Before Linda Hawley became a full-time author, she supported herself as a freelance writer. Her experiences working on diverse projects requiring significant research stretched and refined her composition skills. It also inspired her to become a novelist.

You may be surprised to learn that most of the technologies, conditions, and places in her trilogy exist. It's the characters and their actions that are pure fiction. Writing The Prophecies as accurate faction (a literary work that is a mix of fact and fiction) requires significant in-depth research, but the author was aided by her many years in the U.S. intelligence community. Her government service certainly aided the believability of this dystopian trilogy.

Linda Hawley is hard at work on another dystopian trilogy, called The ReSociety. You can follow her progress at LindaHawley.com.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Sequel to Dreams Unleashed November 10, 2011

By Rosemary Cochran

Format:Kindle Edition

GUARDIAN OF TIME is the perfect sequel to DREAMS UNLEASHED. In DREAMS UNLEASHED the author set the foundation for the series to come. She vividly drew the background, slowly pulling me in, taking me captive to her story. There was action, there was intrigue, but I felt like I was just beginning to pull it all together when the cliff-hanger of an ending left me open mouthed. It left me hoping the sequel was soon to be released.

GUARDIAN OF TIME takes off where DREAMS UNLEASHED left me with jaws dropped. It's a fast-paced, action-packed adventure from the get go. Linda Hawley does an exquisite job of bringing together the mysteries presented in DREAMS UNLEASHED, expounding on them in GUARDIAN OF TIME, while continuing to introduce new elements of intrigue and mystery. The scenes are described in a manner that takes the most visually challenged right there in their mind's eye. The story line begins to take a more defined direction. Ann faces betrayal---and unexpected revelations from her past. There is no turning back. Her life is now intricately intertwined with the GOG, an anti-government subversive group. Her mission? Well, I think you ought to read to the book to find out! You won't regret it!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Guardian you will care about. April 2, 2012

By Pandorasecho

I went straight from reading Book One in this Trilogy to devouring this book, and I am chomping at the bit, wishing I could move as quickly into the third book. The Author left us at a major cliff-hanger, and the only light in the darkness is the assuring line that she ends her author note with, "this story is, as I believe all stories should be, about hope." That is a paraphrase as I don't have my kindle with me at the moment, but the gist of what she said stuck with me.

I love stories about psychic phenomenon, and that is originally what attracted me to these stories of a Woman whose dreams matter, on a current, world wide, political stage. Then there was the element which both frightens and gives me hope, the real, current events and the knowledge that we have rights and the responsibilities to fight to keep the rights our ancestor's died to give us.

I care about the character and I hate leaving her alone and not knowing where she will end up next. And she will make you care about having the right to care about yourself and humanity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Put it down... Want more!! February 11, 2012

I love the two books Dreams Unleashed and Guardians of Time. Gripping action and suspense. Incredible characters and a unique story. Unsettling as so much of the story is "could be" modern day on privacy issues and what could be.....

Not wanting Guardians of Time to end as Book 3 is not out yet... Want more.... Linda Hawley is an exceptional writer. If you want a riveting tale of suspense, action and adventure read the series....

Kudos for excellent writing and keeping my attention....
