KAPOLEI, Hawaii - In a science fiction thriller that exposes the unity in all religions, author Joseph DeMarco describes the plight of a homeless man named Felix King, who believes himself to be the reincarnation of the founder of all major world religions. The author also details his strange inspiration for the story through a pseudonym named Joe Kaye in Blind Savior, False Prophet (now available through AuthorHouse). Separated into two stories, 'Chasing the Ghost' and 'Blind Savior,' DeMarco's novel paints a not-too-distant future, in which all religions are one and the evolution of spirituality is occurring right under our noses. The first story details a drugged-out ex-student of Joe Kaye's (Siann), who is searching for Kaye's lost novel. Through notes scribed in a faded green notebook she stole from him many years ago, Siann learns of a manuscript that was supposedly buried on a small Caribbean Island. Siann eventually finds the lost manuscript (which is 'presented as' the second story: 'Blind Savior') about a Dharma Bum named Felix King. Felix's belief about his past lives spurs from a series of dreams, in which he is Lao Tzu, the famous Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao, Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) and Mohammed the last prophet of Islam. The main undercurrent that unfolds in both stories is the next evolution of spirituality, which, according to both the fictitious author Joe Kaye and the real author Joseph DeMarco, began with the Beatles and the hippy movement in the 1960's and will not finish for close to two thousand years. http://www.amazon.com/Blind-Savior-Prophet-Joseph-DeMarco/dp/1434391264 Plague of the Invigilare (paperback $13.50) About the book: Warning: Philosophical Content-Explicit Ideas-May offend those easily offended.Known to some as "The Ballad of Lost Souls," this novel is a supernatural psychoanalytic journey into the mind of a confused psychiatrist.

The legend of the Hassan El Sabbah is not as famous as his garden. Sabbah was an entrepreneur of sorts using the assassin as a tool to gain political influence throughout the Middle East. He would use young men by making them smoke hash then allowing them to enter his garden of earthly delights. The young men were told they had entered paradise and would be expelled if they did not carry out Sabbah’s wishes, which were usually to kill someone of relative importance. This tale is not only a fictional look at Sabbah, but also a mind-altering look into America’s drug culture and the idea of paradise. Told by a stoner, set over a thousand years ago with an Arabian Nights feel to it, the story centers around Emir Abdullah-Harazins (Sabbah) and his infamous garden. It is the story of only one of his Hashishiyyins (Assassins). http://www.amazon.com/Hundred-20-Assassins-Emir-Abdullah- Harazins/dp/1418441023 Ask for autographs: 420 Series At Play in the Killing Fields (Paperback $15.49) Book Description: JOE KAYE (1976-2031) - The False Prophet of Fennimore Place Joe Kaye was an American poet, philosopher, schoolteacher, and author of 11 books. Born in New York City, Joe taught in New York, Hawaii, and Michigan. In Hawaii, he started writing and by the age of 25 he published his first manuscript. He later moved to Michigan and then to Wisconsin, where he developed a tumor which began to give him delusions. His delusions led him to construct a giant labyrinth on a tropical island. He also had an obsession with looking for a message he believed he had left for himself in a past life, in the form of a poem, song, or story. He went insane with paranoia and believed the karma police were coming to take him away. He also became obsessed with cheating death, practicing a religion called Voodoo Botany, believing it would make him a god. On a late night talk show, he made a prophecy about the extinction of the human race. He was sent to rest at Fennimore Place Institute. The maze was never finished. He died broke and penniless. http://www.amazon.com/Play-Killing-Fields-Joseph-DeMarco/dp/1425986692
