Daring to Dream
Based on a true story, author explores issues of transformation and redemption in
action-adventure novel, The Thirteenth Time Zone.


San Diego police officer Owen "Blue" Drew is a man desperately in need of change.
Assigned to an elite gang-fighting group, Drew increasingly finds himself under
attack, both by the outside forces he fights daily, and the inner demons that
threaten to destroy and corrupt his very soul.

Verging on emotional collapse, Drew takes a one-year leave of absence, agreeing to
serve as a crew member on a private boat sailing the Pacific. He quickly learns to
adapt to the ways of the sea, setting aside his old anxieties in hopes of
discovering new paths towards inner peace. His travels, which expand to five years,
take him to Mexico, Central America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia, and lead him
on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.

The Thirteenth Time Zone is loosely based on the true story of author David Jebb,
himself a former police officer. Seeking a lifestyle change, Jebb quit his job in
the 1970s and embarked on a five-year sojourn to 33 countries. In India, he walked
with a Hindu holy man for four months. He visited Northern Ireland during the time
Belfast was under siege by terrorists. He was in Iran just before the king was
deposed. All of these experiences laid the foundation for The Thirteenth Time Zone,
giving the novel an authenticity and heart not commonly found in literature today.
