I'm serializing my book, a metaphysical-literary time-surfing epic, for free on Substack! I am Kikiloa, Mitochondrial Eve, the tragic 200,000-year-old grandmother of us all. I’m also a hyperkinetic teen time-surfer and part-time philosopher. Go figure. https://t.co/LWTqeSAG1G

Kiki’s first time-surfing session. “This is not a good start.”

The Kikiloa Chronicles is about character-driven coming-of-age adventure, propulsive writing, psychological and philosophical depth, and epic time-surfing myth. You can read it for free on Substack.

Back to Kiki and Paha's first meeting.

True.

A metaphor for many things.

Kiki’s her own person, but she does give Mrs. Whatsit vibes sometimes.

I've written a fun time-travel multiverse coming-of-age love story novel that is really a study of projection and illusion -- how our hopes and search for meaning distort our perceptions -- and how letting go is the first act of love. I'm searching for readers in the center.

The next chapter is up!

I'm looking for avid readers who loved A Wrinkle In Time as kids (or adults 😉) and wish there were a book like that for us now.

But they did.

Kiki’s relationship with Paha is a time-crossed tension. Her hope in the face of suffering inspires him, yet her independence feels like abandonment. His playful confidence intrigues her, yet his bids for connection land like arrogance. They’ve both got some work to do.

Excited to have The Kikiloa Chronicles serialization featured on https://t.co/vUTgwrqio8. Check it out.

The new first chapter of my epic time-surfing book, The Kikiloa Chronicles, is live on Substack. Read it and subscribe for free today! 💪❤️🤙 https://t.co/0wn9QrrND5 “I met Paha for the first time on the day my first life came to an end..."

My 19-year-old son read my book. He texted me: “Just finished your book. My only real complaint is that it’s not long enough.” It’s ~400 pages. 🤷‍♂️ He devours epic fantasy and sci fi. Then he added, “It was one of the best books I’ve read.” Talk about burying the lede‼️

Round 2: My book’s a bit of a chimera. No single comparable fits that well. Does this triad resonate with you? A Wrinkle in Time · Cloud Atlas · The Left Hand of Darkness

The Prelude is up: I was enslaved after the fire. I birthed only daughters, more than I could track on my fingers and toes, so I remembered them by the freckles scattered across the backs of my hands. But my life has since multiplied beyond reckoning. https://t.co/oWzUisssHK
