    About this ebook

    One thing leads to another as we weave our lives into the tapestry of eternity. An actual event inspires a painting, which inspires a story, which inspires a sequel involving another painting. Paintings have two sides. One of those sides is not the back of the canvas. Worlds overlap. Time shifts. Space twists. Experience the adventures of an aging pilot overtaken by a strange storm. Within the storm, he is miraculously reunited with his father. Getting home is not as simple as flying back the way he came. Enter an unusual forest with this pilot after a harrowing landing. Walk with him through a vortex that provides his only escape from an environment that appears to be swallowing him. His only way out is in. Come face to face with a sinister historical figure. Learn the origins of legendary creatures. Discover the name of a class of worlds you may have never before considered. Will this pilot ever make it home? Find out. Read Out of the Picture and Into the Picture, today. Don't wait another minute. A minute may not be what you think it is.

    Ilyan Kei Lavanway

    Ilyan Kei Lavanway is a proliferate yet undiscovered and unheralded Christian author. He served as a full-time missionary for two years in Argentina for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 1986-1988. Since 2005, he has written and published over two dozen books of various lengths, ranging from a few pages to almost five-hundred pages. His education includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from the University of Washington, Seattle, and a Master of Science degree in Space Studies from the University of North Dakota, Grand Forks.Mr. Lavanway is married and has an autistic son who has Down's syndrome. Mr. Lavanway grew up in Wenatchee and Waterville, Washington State. He is the oldest of nine siblings, seven of whom are living. He spent his high school summers driving wheat trucks and combines during harvest, earning cash to support his first love, the love of flight. He was an avid private pilot in his teens.Ironically, for all his love of aviation, Mr. Lavanway's fourteen years in the United States Air Force never landed him a flight crew assignment. Nope. He was kicking it subterranean school in a capsule beneath the North Dakota plains as an ICBM launch officer for his first four years of service, followed by a year of really uninteresting work in a vault, on base. His next two years took him up near the Canadian border, to the giant, phased array space surveillance and early warning radar site outside Cavalier, North Dakota.Then, he was off to California. Academic assignments filled the final seven years of his military service. By the time he was medically retired from active duty, he had discovered his passion for writing.Since life has thrown him a few curves that make it impractical for him to return to flying airplanes any time soon, he has poured his heart into the written word.Mr. Lavanway feels he has a God-given gift and responsibility to express eternal principles that will point sincere readers to the scriptures, to the living apostles, to the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and ultimately to a personal relationship with God the Father, and with God's Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, and with the Holy Ghost.

      Out of the Picture

      By Victor G. La Van Way

      I painted a picture with acrylic paints, a black and white and gray monochrome scene of a radial engine DeHavilland Beaver. It’s fleeing severe weather and is ready to touch down on a remote rural road to avoid being overtaken by the storm.

      My eldest son had such an experience flying his plane home from attending his friend’s wedding in Arizona. His account of the event inspired me to paint the picture.

      The painting hangs on my living room wall, opposite the recliner chair I use to relax and look at photographs or listen to digital e-books. I like looking at the painting. It pleases me because I painted it, because my eldest son is involved in its inspiration, and because it recalls to my memory and emotions the days when I could still fly my own aircraft.

      One evening I sat in my chair relaxing. The hour had become late and my dear wife had turned off all the lights, except the one above the book case at the far end of the living room. She knew I would probably sleep in the chair to relieve the pain in my hip. Indeed, I had fallen asleep in the comfort of diminished pain.

      The recurring buzzing sound awoke me. It passed around my head as I reclined in my chair. Then it seemed
