My name is Jorah Kai, and I am a bard. My band, The Root Sellers, headlined festivals, played Olympics and produced albums on every continent. I was a full-time detective in a mythical part-time city, solving existential mysteries for lost and weary travelers. You may have heard of me.

One day I disappeared, wandering until I found misty mountains that shrouded the ancient Chinese city of Ba along the mighty Jialiang and Yangtze rivers. Today, it is called Chongqing. I am a married man, a teacher, and a humble writer, happily obscure, until a virus smaller than a . stopped the world in its tracks.

On the first day of the year of the metal rat, the beginning of a novel 60-year cycle, everything changed.  OneA deadly virus, full of creeping, cosmic horror, used us as carriers.

This is the story of the first 60 days of COVID-19, as I learned, day by day, what it was and what it could do. I tried to warn you it was coming, and some prepared, but many did not. This is the story of how Chongqing stood tall when many other cities fell.

This is not how the story ends, but this is how it began.

What happens when you take an almost-famous D&D dungeon master with a history of headlining major music festivals and breathing fire in the circus and send him to a mountain in China to sit alone with his own thoughts? A new epic solarpunk fantasy novel, somewhere between a 'Chinese Rock 'N Roll Harry Potter' and a 'Darker Alice in Wonderland.'

Finding time can be difficult in today’s hypermodern world. Making time, however, can be magick.

In 2038, in the SOLARPUNK futuristic city of Chongqing, a dangerous story gets told that threatens our entire multiverse. The world’s spiciest ice cream, a trip to Chongqing’s rural countryside, & a strange collection of curious belongings begin this unforgettable tale that mixes Solar Punk science fiction and high fantasy for a thrilling modern fairytale about a boy who risks his soul to chase a 9-tail fox into the dreamlands for the adventure of a lifetime and the chance to save his family.

"Once it got me turning the pages, I simply couldn't stop. For me, that was the theme of Taoist thought, which gets me every time I encounter it in the wild. It is so beautiful -- and here it is, like finding grass growing from glass. For other readers, the element that snags and pulls the imagination into this story might be one of a hundred others. That's kind of this book's magic…" - @Donasbooks

"The end left me gasping for the next installment," - Richard Devall, Vine Voice

If you enjoyed the runaway success of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, now a hit Hollywood movie and international bestseller, you'll love The Sun Also Rises on Cthulhu. Embark on a haunting odyssey with this masterful reimagining of the great American novel, merging the existential desolation of Ernest Hemingway's iconic characters with the dark, cosmic terror of H.P. Lovecraft. Brought to life by Hemingway, the Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author renowned for The Old Man and the Sea, and Jorah Kai, the modern minstrel of the macabre celebrated for the darkly psychedelic international bestseller Amos the Amazing, this novel resurrects a cherished classic into a realm of unimaginable nightmares and unfathomable dread.
Meet Jack Schitt, Ro'brt Ctholh'en, Brett Ashley, Creepy Bill, and their eclectic band as they traverse the haunting landscapes of Europe.

This tale, reflecting the Lost Generation's struggle for meaning, resonates with our deepest fears and desires.
