Resident Author Michael Zajaczkowski publishes second book, The Color of Dreams

Michael Zajaczkowski’s latest book, The Color of Dreams, offers a straightforward and inviting take on inspiration and self-help rolled into one engaging narrative. The story follows Ben Davidson—a down-to-earth guy with a lifelong dream of building and selling custom mailboxes, who often finds himself caught up in unexpected chaos both in business and in life.

The novel takes an interesting turn, as Michael writes: “One day in the late 1980s, a little angel comes his way to lead him out of the unsatisfying muddle his life has become and guide him through a series of lessons, coming straight from the ‘Source.’”

Instead of rushing headlong into plans, Ben learns to slow down, visualize his goals, meditate on his vision, and rechannel his energy. The narrative is built around six key lessons the angel shares—ideas that echo the Law of Attraction, reminding readers that “We have control over the thoughts we choose to dwell on and what we believe is possible.”

With similarities to works like The Smallest Island in the World and The Go-Giver, The Color of Dreams blends inspirational storytelling with practical advice. The book has already earned accolades from industry reviewers, highlighted by its “Editor’s Pick” designation from BookLife.

Reviews sum it up well: “From its opening lines, the story is presented in nearly poetic language that is highly descriptive and evocative… Libraries that choose The Color of Dreams for its lovely descriptions, logical and compelling accounts of growth, and hope, will find it easy to recommend to readers looking for uplifting, inspirational tales of transformation that emerge from following one’s dream," said D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer at Midwest Book Review.

In short, Michael Zajaczkowski’s The Color of Dreams delivers an inspirational narrative without overwhelming its readers. It’s a story about taking the time to see what’s possible, shifting focus from quick fixes to steady progress. For anyone looking to connect with a book that encourages thoughtful reflection and practical dream-building, this novel might just be the perfect pick.
