The Sinking of Noah's Ark


As a young child, Noah King rejected the simplistic life, and aspired to flee the small Maine fishing village of Walden's Cove. Enjoying the company of books rather than people, he planned for a life that he spent so many hours reading about. On the day Noah was supposed to watch over his younger brother Aidan, he horrifically witnesses Aidan die in an automobile accident.

On the day of Aidan's death, Noah deals with his guilt and pain by rejecting his mother and father's spiritual and simple way of life. He becomes an atheist. His longing to seek a life dedicated to the physical takes him to University.

During Noah's stay at University, he faces another tragedy - the death of his father. On the way home to comfort his mother, Noah is in a car accident. He wakes to find himself in the unknown reality he previously believed did not exist. He is forced to reexamine his earlier perceptions of life. In an ominous courtroom, Noah faces a Prosecutor and jury where he must justify the continuation of human existence. The Sinking of Noah's Ark takes readers on a philosophical journey that discusses the evolution of humanity, in the spiritual and biological sense. Free Will is an important theme highlighted in the book.

Although the evolution of organised religion and its roots are discussed, THE SINKING OF NOAH'S ARK is not a religious story, but a work that analyses the human condition.

The Sorcerer's Song And The Cat's Meow



A mythical tale exploring and defining the realms of reality and the supernatural, The Sorcerer's Song And The Cat's Meow tells the story of Middle Eastern Sorcerer Aikeem Abdul Jamal Yosaffa, and his faithful feline companion, Pendella Purrfect.

Aikeem, a Sorcerer who has traveled thousands of years perfecting his craft, meets Pendella Purrfect in an alley in New York City. Recognizing that each has a great power for good, they instantly bond and an unconditional love is cultivated. Together, they travel between the world of reality and the magical world of the Dreamscape, a plain of existence that defies the laws of nature. In this magical world, animals such as rats, sloths, felines, and rabbits have the ability to talk, walk upright, and reason. As Aikeem and Pendella Purrfect travel between the two plains of existence, they meet such colorful and unforgettable characters as Striped Seer, Snapper the Cat, Jackenstein Muddleboot, and Blitherskites.

On their magical journey, the forces of good and darkness collide. Threatened by sinister forces seeking to destroy and enslave humanity, a struggle to save humankind emerges. In the city of Avalon, where the fate of humanity resides, dark forces, guided by the ominous creatures Dark Seer and Daagbo, seek to align all the creatures of darkness in an effort to overthrow humanity and replace humans as the occupiers of the real world. Aikeem and Pendella Purrfect enlist those with the power of good to fight the Army of Darkness.

As the tale unfolds, readers are encouraged to use their imagination. A well-plotted story with vivid and riveting description of characters and settings, as well as an intense page turning battle, the book is a delight to read. In today’s world, where technology and the quest for superficial material pleasures often act as a deterrent to creative thought, The Sorcerer's Song And The Cat's Meow encourages readers to embrace their dreams. This book would make a great a movie.

I highly recommend this mythical novel to young adults, and to fans of such sorcerer stories as the “Harry Potter” books.
