Hello reader,

It's April's birthday! We have been very busy this month and are out for birthday celebrations [as of finishing writing this, April and I had a fantastic time wandering around the beaches and ridges of Lake Ontario! Pictures soon to come, if not already on April's socials]; thank you for finding the time to join me in this summer’s HaikuPrajna Project Roadmap update.

Upcoming Releases

 [The HaikuPrajna Collection Book I: Elephant in the Room - Second Edition]

... The Second Edition of my first poetry collection is finished! The final step left is for April to finish the new cover image, so expect Elephant in the Room to stomp onto your reading list before the end of the month, July 2023. Other updates include less wasted page space, a new introduction with a retrospective reflection on some of my earliest work, and a complete re-editing of the flash fiction at the end of the book. 

The flash fiction stories featured in Book I are now considered part of Project Trinity along with Books II and III and the rest of my story catalog.

I know a lot of readers who enjoyed Elephant in the Room when it first released--I am very excited to reintroduce this book!

[The Wisps Book: Sol the Last Wisp]

... This story introduces Team Seer, the Overseer's group of heroes during the era of the Zeus System. While traversing Zeus's warped timespace, the Overseer fazes in and out of memories their Team shared with the Sol the Last Wisp, the System's former Sun. During this metaphysical sci-fi fantasy, the Seer must navigate through the literal cloud network of Sol's thoughts in order to reach his core at the centre of the Sun. But the Seer finds themselves drifting off course, becoming lost in these guilt-ridden moments in time. 

The Wisps Book's Sol the Last Wisp is in active production, stay tuned for future updates. 

[The HaikuPrajna Collection Book IV: Two Elephants in the Room]

… Before autumn 2023, Two Elephants in the Room will feature all of the book reviews and new poetry featured on HaikuPrajna up to the end of 2022, including the to-be-reviewed books that I had read in the year.

[Escape Perennial City - SM-SARA//KID:A Edition]

... The next Second Edition after Elephant in the Room will collect the three stories that feature Maverick Hunter Richard Abendsen. Starting with this book, the short stories featured in the second HaikuPrajna Collection, “SM-SARA, Poetry and Other Stories,” will each get physical editions or will be released within books like these Second Editions.

[ULTRAVIOLET - Paperback Edition]

... This edition will be identical to the Kindle Edition, but with updated Front and Back Matter, and the Paperback Edition will also serve as the physical release of one of The Wisps Book's short stories.

Future

Upcoming HaikuPrajna music reviews will be collected under a series titled “The Playlist”; you can preview and listen to the list of music on Spotify, here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2P1i2og7gMAoo7VsE8Espf

In addition to this list, our idea for a video game review series has evolved into a podcast that we are structuring. These ideas will also, soon, be applied to a daily movie watchlist.
