Synopsis

If you found a stone whose magic could change your life, how would you use its power?

Michelangelo did his best work in Rome. Some people believe in a magical stone he found on his journey from Florence to Rome, a stone that was said to have the power to release his inner imagination. He returned the stone to the same place he had discovered it, a place steeped in mystery and magic, before returning to Florence.

At the brink of despair, Tom Parker recalls Michelangelo's tale and stumbles upon a stone of similar legend. He yearns to harness its power to resurrect his failing business and win the love of his life. But just as he is about to deliver the speech that could turn his advertising company's fate, the stone is snatched away, and Tom's mind goes blank, forgetting the best presentation he had ever conceived. Will he recover the stone? Will he salvage his business and win the girl?

This inspirational fantasy story will leave you feeling like you can do anything. Don't miss this opportunity to read the feel-good story of 2025!

Author Biography

Drew Bankston lives in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, two amazingly perfect dogs, and a garden.

Before he started writing science fiction, Drew received his bachelor’s degree in Bio-Ag Sciences from Colorado State University. After that, just to shake things up, he never really used that degree but worked various jobs in retail and Asset Protection with some really important people who are way too dignified to be named here. He’s still working but would eventually like to write full-time and stop working for other people. He likes pie and chocolate, as everyone should.

Please enjoy this short excerpt from ‘The Imagination Stone’ and let me know what you think!

Book Excerpt

The Imagination Stone

“We have a two o’clock appointment with Mr. Beringer. I know we’re a little early, but I wanted him to know that we’re here, ready and excited to show him how we can help his company,” Tom said.
“Thank you,” the smiling receptionist replied, almost laughing at Tom’s enthusiasm. “I’ll let him know that you’re here. May I have your name please?”
“ Oh, of course. I’m sorry. Yes, my name is Tom Parker.”
As much as her smile lit up the room, her lack of smiling cast a dark shadow over everything. Tom knew this because as soon as his name hit her ears, the smile left her face. “I’m sorry,” she said in a tone much less friendly that a moment ago, “did you say Tom Parker? From the Parker Ad Agency?”
