About the Book

Mount Taishan, China 1486 BCE

Humanity's first recorded comet, Lao-Tien-Yeh 老天葉 finally reaches Earth. Estimated today, to have been four times brighter than the full moon.

An old monk climbs Mount Tai to greet the new star. An insignificant reunion with something along the way introduces the monk to what will become the base tenets of Universal Truth. Principles that later become the foundation of Buddhism. He will not have the chance to tell anyone though, for an ancient force has also awakened with the nightless day.

It takes a thousand years for the Buddhist doctrine to be discovered again.

Hanalei Bay, Hawaii Three Days Ago...

While caring for a recently rescued kitten, an accident occurs that blurs the delicate lines between imagination and reality. Everything that has ever visited Calvin in dreams has come home. Every Grumpmuffin, Goblin, Adamsville Fairy and Menehune expects to have their say. It has been a long time since a human has been in a position to have a conversation and they intend to make the most of it. Harsh questions will be asked. Secrets will be shared. Truths will be revealed.

A childhood promise made to a grandfather forever linked to a ragged old cat weaves through time. Clotho, the sister who spins the threads of life and destiny for the Fates, has placed a single strand to connect them all. But like the Chinese monk before him, Calvin will not have the chance to tell anyone, for the ancient forces once again stir.

Although Twain, Tesla, Barrie, Warhol, The Apollo 12/Intrepid Landing Module, Perun--the Slavic God of Thunder, Some Quantum Foam and a wee bit of lost faith all make appearances ... it may not be enough.

Comet Lao-Tien-Yeh 老天葉 is now designated 12P/Pons-Brooks, and it is fast approaching.
About the Author: Love. Compassion. Passion. Friendship. Knowledge. Creativity. Peace. Magic. Author. I'm working on it all. I have been many things in this life. On September 30, 2011, I walked into an ASPCA in Florida and discovered Leonardo Garfield. The circumstances of how and why I was there, I will tell at another time. What you need to know here, is that I had no intention of adopting a seven-week-old kitten and writing a novel. Sometimes though, the universe does not respond to the 'intent of the observer.' It has other plans. In caring for him I found a story. Days of constant care and observation revealed not just the beauty of his journey, but also one of wonder and play. Searching for aid and answers led me down a rabbit hole of discovery. The world is much more than you think. History, patterns, connections, science, fable or fact, are all leading... ...this morning, I am unsure. Know this, however, it is beyond our wildest dreams. I have spent my life as a mechanic, a builder, a computer geek. I take things apart and put them back together. I know the science behind the curtain. At least I thought I did. We are entering an age of discovery that is going to change all that we know. This book is the completion of a promise I made to Cugh Meek, My Grandfather. I gave him my word in the summer of 1966 after he bought me a journal to cultivate my creativity. He wanted for me to write him a story, a truly tall tale. Adamsville, Tennessee had other adventures planned for us though, and I never got around to it. This is that promise fulfilled. This is that story... I have tried to pass it on just as the muses dictated. It is a modern fable, for the world has changed since then. It is a tale of choice and consequence; of the lost and newly found; of discovery and redemption; of hopefully, finding our way out of a darkness that is growing. I am a storyteller now. I found my voice. We all have a book that resides somewhere within our heart. Whether or not we pull it into reality, is always one of determination. In the end, it's still a story that I would like to share. I am a storyteller now and some stories just want to be told. I would hope to have any readers enjoy the few hours they spend with me. If I could make them smile, wonder, and realize that magic has always been just a matter of perspective ... it would be enough for me. This is my first novel. May 21, 2018
