See folks rushing, phones in their clasp, Missing life as they zip and they zoom, In their blur, they let moments elapse, Captured by screens in a digital tomb. Now look at the snails, in their gentle grasp, Moving slowly, no need for vroom, Life's not a task to outlast. Now, try that in a snail town, See how far you'll get with hurried feet, (you won't be mayor) 'Round here we watch the sun's ascent and descent, You rush that rhythm, you'll feel the heat, But in a snail's pace, there's sweet content, Try that in a snail town. There's a ballet in how snails glide, Their long necks reaching, exploring the land, A patience that the fast world often derides, In their shell homes, they make their stand, Life's not about who quickest strides, It's in the slow that you'll understand. Now, try that in a snail town, See how far you'll get with hurried feet (pretty far), 'Round here we watch the sun's ascent and descent, You rush that rhythm, you'll feel the heat, But in a snail's pace, there's sweet content. Try that in a snail town, Full of slow grace, and quiet delight, If you're seeking wisdom in the moonlight, Try that in a snail town, Try that in a snail town. Try that in a snail town, (See how far you'll get with hurried feet) 'Round here we watch the sun's ascent and descent, You rush that rhythm, you'll feel the heat, But in a snail's pace, there's sweet content. Try that in a snail town, Try that in a snail town, mm-mm. Try that in a snail town.

Amos the Amazing
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.
"A fun YA coming-of-age solarpunk fantasy that's oozing with creativity and imagination." - Marie Sinadjan, ‘Humans Media’
"I absolutely adore Amos. Like Harry Potter meets Lord of the Rings." @book_st_gram
"My favorite book of the year." - Brooke Auckerman @BrookLovesBooks23
"Full of excitement, adventure, and magic" - @lisabookishlife
"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
