Mark Ristau to Sign Copies of "A Hero Dreams" at Barnes & Noble Roseville, MN Oct. 28

St. Paul author Mark Ristau will sign copies of his debut novel, A Hero Dreams, at the Barnes and Noble in Roseville, Minn., on Sat., Oct. 28, beginning at 2 p.m.

A Hero Dreams is the story of a young boy named Ricky. Devastated by his father’s sudden death, eight-year-old Ricky begins to see things—a ghostly silhouette in his bedroom window, a gruesome train accident involving four local teenagers, a terrorist attack that won’t occur for another twenty-five years. After a traumatic incident at a New England summer camp, the visions become more frequent, more vivid, and more disturbing. A mysterious voice assures him everything will be okay if he crosses the “threshold.” But just what is the threshold? And what lies beyond?

A Hero Dreams takes the reader on an epic journey along the furthermost frontiers of human consciousness and into a miraculous realm where anything is possible.
