The Dream Maker

AtoZ 2025 theme reveal: The Dream Maker

What price are you willing to pay to live your deepest desire?

People call Ramshackle the dream maker but he thinks of himself as more of a facilitator. If you have a wish you want to fulfill then he is the man you turn to. All you have to do is sign a contract and forfeit your life. For that price, you get twenty-four hours of uninterrupted, unadulterated, no-holds-bar pass on life as you live your desires.

Ruidan Kilney is taken by surprise when his fiance of four years declares, on the eve of their wedding, that she has signed a contract with Ramshackle. Unable to fathom what went wrong in a seemingly happy relationship, Kilney finds himself at the dream maker’s doorstep, full of questions.

Ramshackle and Kilney form an unlikely partnership as each tries to uncover their own motives, why they’re here and can they really choose their own fate.

    This sounds as exciting as a Neil Gaiman story. I meant the version of Gaiman which I used to love, the one who wrote the best fantasy. And now I wish I hadn’t brought him up.
    Anyway, good luck Suchita, I know already that this is a series I’m going to look forward to every day all through this month.

  5. I knew it !
    Wasn’t this what we discussed in our Author Collaborative episode? If yes, I’m so happy to see it culminating.

    You already know how ardently I follow your A2Z posts so this year will be no exception. And you’ve chosen a different genre this time which makes me very curious to see how you work with it.

    P.S.: Btw, my theme for this year’s A2Z is also a result of what we discussed on that episode
