OVERLAND

Being someone’s soul mate seems to me is the ultimate achievement in a relationship. It may not necessarily even be your spouse. It could be your best friend. It could also be someone you have never met, or may met once a long time ago. And perhaps that one time would be enough to convince you that he or she should become your soul mate.

What is a soul mate, anyway? This is a dictionary definition: “somebody with whom somebody else naturally shares deep feelings and attitudes”….sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?

I think many people search their whole lives looking for their soul mate, especially one they can be attracted to physically, and of course sharing deep feelings and attitudes.

How do you know you have found your soul mate? To compartmentalize a relationship, you will want a physical attraction, the same or similar mental capacity, and that spiritual connection that transforms the couple into being soul mates.

Danny Benson, our hero in OVERLAND, thought he had his soul mate in Heather. She was the reason he went on this long adventure in the first place. But he was so consumed by his medical school studies he didn’t even realize what was a soul mate anymore. It was a matter of going through the motions with Heather.

When he met, what I call the “secret” of OVERLAND, Danny’s whole world changed. Between the two, Heather and “the secret”, the clarity of what a soul mate is, is defined.

Interestingly, on the feedback I have received from those that have read OVERLAND, not everybody falls in love with “the secret”. In fact, some people prefer Heather. Two very distinct women are characterized within OVERLAND.


So the questions remain: how do you find such a person that can become your soul mate?

And, of the female audience out there, who will you identify with, Heather or “the secret”?

Both will appear in the sequel!

Normally I write about various themes of life that tie into Overland, such the characters, or actions, or events. But today's posting is a review I received today by a woman who does nothing but review books. Well, I'm sure she does other things, but this is what she does for a living and I thought you would want to read it. And not so much because it is a great review, but it will give you some keen insights into the story of book, which ultimately, will make you want to read it. And by no means for the sale of the book. My faithful followers here are what I would call my friends and "early adopters"...those that were there for me from the start...and I thank you!

So, before we read on with this review, I want to share some news:

I'm going to start working on Overland, the sequel, Part II. I can keep you up to date along the way, or an announcement at the time of publication. I don't know what is going to happen in Part II...certainly if you have an ideas or what you would like to see, please let me know....

And now, the review:

Mark Stephen Levy takes his traveling adventures and his personal love story as he creates an incredible Masterpiece of war, history, and romance. The main character, Danny Benson is a man who makes the reader turn the pages as fast as the speed of lightning, and has the type of personality that would make your heart melt. As he rides the Magic Bus to Afghanistan in desperate search to find the woman he loves, along with answers to many questions about their relationship, unexpected circumstances changes his life forever. When Danny finds Heather, what else does he find? Did Heather ever find herself, and what else does she find? How did the Soviet invasion, and the bomb blast affect Danny's life? Which direction was Danny in, and was it the same direction Heather was in? Did unexpected events in Danny's life bring him happiness? Why did Danny want to go to Kathmadu?What does the blood stained blue scarf signify? Why was James arrested? What was considered paradise for Danny? Who is Vyasa, and what did he do for Danny? I highly recommend this novel to all fiction, historical fiction, and adventure lovers. The sweet scent of sizzling romance blossoms like a rose as the reader is taken on an interesting journey through the culture and beauty of different countries. Challenges are taken through many twists-and-turns, while war is looming as the pages become covered in drama. The plot is captivating, the story is delightful and the fascinating characters come to life in this unique, emotional roller-coaster ride. The author paints each page with excitement, danger, sorrow, and happiness. A colorful portrait is the result of an unforgettable story that's made for the movie screen. "OVERLAND" is as entertaining as GONE WITH THE WIND, as romantic as JERRY MAGUIRE, and as dramatic as
THE DEER HUNTER with Robert Deniro.
