People don’t consume enough fiction anymore.

A good novel is something that sucks you away from the trials of real life. Whether that’s crazy politics or a rough day at work, a compelling story takes the reader from their woes and immerses them in a fantastical world.

I had the pleasure recently of reading a series that did just that.

It’s an Italian time travel series; the first book is called, “The Other Side of Heaven,” the second, “Time Enough for Love.”

These are novels that would have caught my eye in a Borders bookstore. One of the sadder memories of my childhood was the ultimate demise of that fantastic chain. I used to harass my poor dad to drag me there every chance I got, and generally he was happy to oblige. He didn’t shower me in frivolous baubles, but he was always happy to spend money on books — something I will forever be grateful to him for.

I spent hours digging through the rows and rows of fresh spines until my arms were full of novels I wanted to devour. We would buy them, go home, and within the week I’d have read them all.

This series is one that I know would have made me pause as I scanned a shelf. In only its title and synopsis, it hooks the reader with promises of adventure, drama and love. It delivers on all of those promises, too. Protagonist Gwendolyn Godwyn and Alberto Uzzo capture you with their wonderfully developed personalities, motivations and desires. The story line is unique and refreshing, offering a historically mesmerizing telling of a girl taken far, far away from home.

And if you don’t trust me, trust the awards the series received. It was a top 10 finalist in The Orange Rose Contest in 2010. It took second place in The Golden Rose Contest in 2009 for mainstream novel with strong romantic elements category. “What a wonderful story! You have a delightful voice. There is little to quibble with here and I’m privileged to have the opportunity to read your submission,” a judge wrote of “The Other Side of Heaven.” “I hope that you will soon find representation and get ‘the call.'”

Those aren’t the only books the authors, Cary Morgan and Deborah O’Neill Cordes, have written that won awards.

Make sure to check out their website, where you can discover some of the other awesome series they’ve written.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
