The character of Gren came about because I wanted a strong female lead, not someone who needed the guys to take care of her. She's smart and good at solving problems. She's also very human, with real emotions and fears. She wants to do the right thing and follow the rules, even when she's not sure why the rules are there. Gren knows that she has a bright future ahead of her but she also knows that she'll need to work hard to get it. Friendship is important to her, especially her friendship with Lawson. She is also close to her family.
Gren struggles with the fact that she's good at Dream Wandering. She has been told many times that she's one of the brightest students to ever come through the Learning Center, but she's not egotistical about it. She knows in her head that she's at the top of her class but in her heart she doesn't believe that she's as good as everyone thinks. The thought of failure frightens her. She is terrified of what life will be like once she becomes an apprentice. At the same time she is excited about what the future might hold.

About the Book
Dream Wanderers: the Escape is a story about friendship. It involves Gren, who is at the top of her class at school, and Lawson, her partner in the school's dream wandering program. Lawson likes to think outside of the rules sometimes but he would do anything for his best friend. When the two of them end up missing it is up to their other friends to figure out what is going on and to help them. Only by working together can they solve the mystery.
Although the story is a little bit science fiction and a lot of fantasy, it is fun for anyone. It is not meant for any one age group. There is no "adult" content, kids will love it as will their grandparents. It's a fun story about trusting in others as well as yourself.
