Follow One Family’s Saga on the Mystical Island of St. Lucia

Author Annie Rogers continues the Demontagne family saga with “A Circle of Dreams.” Building on the vision of one woman’s journey in “A Dream Across Time,” it explores the life of her unique family and its struggles of perseverance, trust and partnership.

St. Michaels, MD (PRWEB) June 20, 2006 -- Having dreams enriches our lives. Dreams move us forward and, without them, we stagnate. They help us build our lives and should not be a refuge from reality. When one family member pursues their dream it affects not only that person’s life but their present family and generations to come. Undeniably we are all affected by the decisions of the ones who came before us. These themes are woven throughout the Demontagne Saga.

Authors Roger and Mala Burt, under the pen name Annie Rogers, have written the second novel of the Demontagne family saga, called “A Circle of Dreams” (ISBN 0977018318). Set in the beautiful backdrop of tropical St. Lucia in the Caribbean, “A Circle of Dreams” moves beyond the personal story of Jamie Demontagne, to her life and family. Jamie and her family live in a fairytale compound high above the seacoast and she seems to have it all. She has found the love of her life in Andre Demontagne, has three darling children, and a flourishing career.

Filled with human tension, mystery, and romance, “A Circle of Dreams” takes readers on an intriguing exploration of how events from two hundred years ago conspire to destroy Jamie Demontagne’s world today. Her children are beautiful and psychically talented but her son, in particular, is deeply troubled and Jamie fears she will lose him. Can this child, this family, this marriage, be saved? Real and present day issues regarding the modern day lifestyles of both parents juggling busy careers and parenthood add to the authentic nature of “A Circle of Dreams.”

The Burt’s love of the West Indies, with years spent living on St. Lucia contributed to the vivid descriptions of island life and rich background on which to display their story about love and family. Paranormal themes flourish and unfold naturally due to the unmistakable mystical foundation of the Caribbean. Characters seem real and alive, and though “A Circle of Dreams” can be read as a stand alone novel, by reading the first book in the series, one comes to the new novel with the feelings of revisiting old friends.

The first book in the Demontagne’s saga “A Dream Across Time” won a Book of the Year Award 2005 from ForeWord Magazine at Book Expo America. Winning this award validated the Rogers debut novel confirming reader’s interest in this superior storyline and the creative writing talents of this husband/wife team.

Roger and Mala Burt, are currently living in St. Michaels, MD and are partners in marriage and work. Their pen name, Annie Rogers, is the juxtaposition of Mala's middle name and Roger's first name. The Burt’s made their first trip to St. Lucia in the West Indies in 1987 and over the next 16 years, built a second home there, began a Caribbean travel business and now dedicate their full attention to writing novels set in the Caribbean.
