Michael Casher

Michael Casher’s fourth novel, The Dreamer Never Sleeps, explores the possibility that a dreamworld might really exist somewhere in the vast cosmos, a place where life’s problems are sorted out and lessons are learned, a place where things get done that aren’t getting done during the waking hours. For Russell Palmer, a work-at-home medical claims examiner, the dreamworld is a frightening place that often presents him with a nightmarish version of his own bewildered life. But when Bobby Mulligan, a senior citizen dreamer from another world, unexpectedly enters Palmer’s life and the lives of two other Earthlings, an upside-down and inside-out world suddenly presents itself in all its mystical, magical glory. It turns out to be a very real world, the exciting realm of why-not and a place of infinite possibilities. Palmer learns that a wealth of unearthly experience awaits everyone, a treasure chest that can only be unlocked by letting go of one’s predictable past and embracing the unknown future.

Michael Casher’s fifth novel, Deeds of Destiny, ventures into the unseen realm of manipulative beings who help shape Earth’s history for an unnamed higher power. When Harlan Trotter, an unemployed factory worker, is charged with the murder of his former best friend -- a crime he would never commit -- he seriously doubts if life is always what you make of it. His suspicions are aroused when things quickly go from bad to worse without any effort on his part and his eyes are soon opened to the fact that a lot of his bad luck is someone else’s doing. But whose? In the ensuing battle between the guardians of fate and the human will, he discovers exactly who and what are the true masters of human destiny. With the help of Belle Summer, the beautiful but eccentric Deputy Coroner who believes in his innocence, Trotter’s life is transformed from "bird of prey" into "predator" as they search together for answers and "hunt down" the elusive denizens of Earth’s invisible underworld.
