Philosoffee: A Coffee & Bourbon Table Book

by G. Edward Martin

This is the most beautiful book I could make today. I have taken what I consider to be my very best work and assembled it into a single book that is 50% art and 50% philosophy.

Philosoffee—A Coffee & Bourbon Table Book combines my best drawings, paintings, thoughts, and quotes from my first three books, and pairs them with AI generated art to create a wholly original and visually stunning coffee (and bourbon whiskey) table book. This full size and full color book will captivate you with each page from start to finish—making the world temporarily disappear as you get lost in the images, questions, and snippets of stories. Whether you are an avid reader, or writer, painter, photographer, musician, or other artist, I hope this book inspires you and fans the flames of your own creativity.

Please be advised that this book is strictly intended for adult readers, and it contains a great deal of nude art. Although I consider every image in this book to be tasteful and reverent to the beauty and miraculous nature of the human form, this book is not appropriate for children under the age of 18.

This book is an invitation for you to bring art and philosophy into your home.

About the author

Hello! My name is G. Edward Martin.

I am a six-time award-winning USA indie author and illustrator based out of Nashville, TN. I write in the genre of Philosophical Fiction, which I often describe as using the art of storytelling to explore difficult questions related to morality, reality, and our pursuit of meaning.

Beneath this umbrella, I have written stories in a variety of genres including literary fiction, religious fiction, historical fiction, comedy, contemporary, fantasy, science fiction, supernatural mystery, allegory, dystopian satire, short stories, and Native American Fiction.

I have written and published three full-size books (two novels and one short story collection), six novellas/novelettes, and one dozen short stories. Additionally, I have much, much more on the way.

My most popular titles include:

• Truth and Evil: A Religious Historical Fiction Novelette Set During World War II

• The Blueberry Daughter: A Fictional Ojibwe Legend

• The Mighty Esox: A Supernatural Mystery Novel

• 13 Acorns: Modern Short Stories for Thoughtful Adults

• The Nobody Who Fought a Dragon: A Dark Comedy Novelette

• The False Treeing Hound: A Feel-Good Short Story

• The Flower from the Garbage: A Philosophical & Literary Fiction Novel

As a philosopher, I regard your time as sacred; thus, as an author, my commitment is to give the very best of myself to every story. When you read one of my stories, I want you to connect with the stories, look at life your life in new ways, learn new things, laugh, reconnect, and see yourself deeply in every character.

My hope and belief is that every story of mine will arrive in your life with serendipitous timing and synchronistic relevance to your unique life in the unique season in which you stumbled upon them. In other words, I have faith that you will find my stories, or they will find you, exactly when they are supposed to.

Although there is an endless amount of skill an author can cultivate in the art of writing, at the foundation of my dream, I am wholeheartedly committed to only ever writing stories that are worth being told. My mission is that every reader who chooses one of my stories always closes the last page feeling hopeful, slightly wiser or more thoughtful, and looking at life with rejuvenated eyesight.

I want to see people thrive and fall back in love with this miraculous existence that we are so blessed to be a part of, and writing is my life’s calling for how I can do my part to contribute to this end.

Additionally, I love to connect with every reader, and I would be delighted to hear from you. My email address is EdwardMartinBooks@gmail. com. If you would like to learn more about all my stories or new books coming soon, check out my website: EdwardMartinBooks. com

Additionally, I am pledging 10% of all my book royalties to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Someday, I will expand this list to help support other amazing organizations, but for now the St. Jude's team is doing incredible work and I cannot think of a worthier cause.

Thank you for being a reader!

G. Edward Martin
