After getting wrapped up in The Silver Sphere I was thrilled to find out that Michael Dadich was writing this prequel. In true Dadich fashion, his writing threw me right back into that world. While short, this story packs a powerful punch!

One Reviewer Notes:
The tastiest little morsel of a story I've ever read. Dadich perfectly teases the reader with just enough story to make you want to rush right out and buy a copy of The Silver Sphere and start reading it immediately. Thankfully I had a copy waiting on my shelf, which I am now thoroughly enjoying the fantastical adventure the author is taking me on. This is a teaser done absolutely right!

About the Author
I've been writing since first setting pencil to steno pad at age 8. A year later, I began developing the world of my current series-in-progress, and even created its title, The Silver Sphere. Now, with the support of years of experience, those early maps and back stories have progressed into what I hope is a fresh and entertaining take on the classic young adult fantasy adventure.
Despite my frequent escapes into parallel worlds, I root myself firmly in my very real family and community. When not pacing the yard maniacally after every few pages of writing, I spend as much time as possible hanging out with my studly 9-year-old son, and my inspirational wife Jenna. I also coach several local youth sports teams in Beverly Hills, and alternate between yelling at my two crazy Corgis and hiking with my trained German Shepherd.

Your website is a digital lighthouse for your business. It’s meant to attract and guide customers to you. Naturally, it impacts the success of your marketing efforts and dictates whether people will actually buy from you. The problem? Most websites are getting it wrong. It’s not your fault. But the fact remains, most of us have been lied to. We were trained to give customers the direct opposite of what they need.

Eat for Heat is best described as a complementary concept that has yet to be discussed anywhere in the world of health, diet, and nutrition. The book takes a close look at the modern habit of compulsive beverage consumption, mass prescriptions to “drink 8, 8-ounce glasses of water per day,” phobias about salt and sugar, and turns them all upside down in classic 180DegreeHealth style.
