If you’ve been following my work for any length of time, you probably already know that this blogger is also a visual artist and novelist. Regarding these related passions of mine, today I’ve got so much exciting publishing news to share I hardly know where to begin.

For starters, my original ink-on-paper painting, MESA, CANYON, RIO, is featured on the cover of Professor Itzhak Beery’s #1 New Release published by Destiny Books, THE GIFT OF SHAMANISM: VISIONARY POWER, AYAHUASCA & JOURNEYS TO OTHER REALMS.



I haven’t actually had the opportunity to read the text yet. But since the book is being put out by a respected publisher, is ostensibly my cup of tea and boasts a foreword by John Perkins, NEW YORK TIMES bestselling author of the hard-hitting CONFESSIONS OF AN ECONOMIC HIT MAN, I’m very much looking forward to diving in.

Another painting of mine, which I’ll disclose at a later date, will be the cover image for Beery’s follow-up anthology to THE GIFT OF SHAMANISM.

Even as this book is about to hit stores, yet another of my paintings is set to be on the cover of a new book on Gnosticism and astrology scheduled for release in the near future. Stay tuned for updates.

That makes a total of four of my original artworks on book covers, including one of my favorite pieces, DREAMCATCHER, which I used for my bestselling coming-of-age story about lucid dreams, astral projection and much more, SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING.



Speaking of, I’m thrilled to be in the process of serializing—for FREE—the audiobook of this epic adventure in consciousness that has been likened to a new CELESTINE PROPHECY and also has some affinities to THE RINGING CEDARS OF RUSSIA.

In the words of Lance White, author of TALES OF A ZANY MYSTIC, SNOOZE is “a multi-dimensional, many-faceted gem of a read. From mysteries to metaphysics, entering the dream world, Bigfoot, high magic and daring feats of courage, this book has it all … I highly recommend [Snooze] for all ages.”

Thanks for reading—and sweet dreams!

Superlative fiction! SNOOZE tells the captivating “coming-of-age” tale of Max Diver (aka “Snooze”) as he accepts and explores his ability to travel in his dreams and ventures on a quest to rescue his astronaut father.



Engrossing, entertaining and occasionally humorous, SNOOZE also takes a look at a wide range of subjects including levitation, telepathy, lucid dreaming, spirit animals, parallel universes and shamanic-like journeying, giving a wide range of information effortlessly absorbed as you enjoy the story as well as much food for thought should you want it. Fortunately it’s a fair size book, larger than the average paperback at 486 pages—although time certainly “flew by” for me when reading it.

Author Sol Luckman says that (like me) his earliest dreams were lucid ones of flying and these exhilarating dreams still occur for him today. The writing in SNOOZE is equally animated and I enjoyed every minute of Max’s adventure as, with the support of friends, he “awakens” to the life-changing reality of his dreams and accepts who he is.

The book says it’s aimed at “Teen and up” agewise but I’m 58 and enjoyed every minute of it—it’s written in a highly accessible style but sufficiently articulate to keep the most discriminating reader engrossed.

Highly original fiction with more than a dash of the otherworld; well-developed characters, both male and female; excellent adventures; heartwarming conclusion and lots of wonderful ideas—what is there not to like? Highly recommended, a must-read. I’m definitely going to look out for more from this author!
