20231026 - ULTRAVIOLET [Official Paperback Release]

Youtube Trailer https://youtu.be/_2B_9uR0yVg 

...

Invisible lights / reveal the cosmos beyond. / Transcend the structure.

... Ultraviolet - #HaikuPrajna

Read online https://haikuprajna.blogspot.com/2023/10/20231026-ultraviolet-official-paperback.html

...

Hello reader,

“ULTRAVIOLET”, the first chapter released in the “FLUKE!” series of metaphysical science fiction short stories, has been collected with “Hector Blake”, “Ado the Owl” and “Summond the Scarecrow” as a paperback--”Hector Blake” was unable to be released in a physical format by itself outside of Amazon, so I decided to link this series’ releases together. 

Releases on Halloween, October 31st 2023!

Read everywhere books are available https://aprilandallen.square.site/product/book-ULTRAVIOLET/6

ULTRAVIOLET is the first in a series of metaphysical science fiction short stories about a superpowered cast living at the end of the 30th century. This story follows Elsa Todd, the Imprint, who can visualize ideas and deconstruct their holographic forms. Using her abilities to outline objects, Imprint contacts the cosmic Source, the first person narrator of the book’s third person narrative.

Inspired by literature as a medium for the ideas you will read about in ULTRAVIOLET, Imprint’s abilities were based on how we interact with ideas when we consume, read, write and create.

Also includes “Summond the Scarecrow” and “Ado the Owl” from “The Wisps Book”, and another chapter in the “FLUKE!” series, “Hector Blake”!

Blurb:

The Imprint tuned to the light of a clear blue sky. Speaking through the ultraviolet end of the visible spectrum, Imprint told the Source she had hit a roadblock in her project, that the microcosm’s dimension of time was frozen past a specific point.

The Source revealed that her problem was a non-issue, transcending Imprint’s macrocosm, which was a microcosm to the godform.

But Imprint realized that meant the Ultraviolet had claimed her abilities and endeavours as its own.

Desperate to reclaim her work, Imprint attempted to capture and transcend the godform, but only revealed the underlying structure of every cosmos in her effort.

Thank you for reading,

Until next time!

Hello reader,

Welcome to another HaikuPrajna Challenge--a monthly prompt series, which I started in honour of HaikuPrajna’s fourth birthday, that uses the titles of the books reviewed on the blog!

This prompt challenge is just for fun, and I will be resharing submissions; this is an opportunity for us both to interact and engage with the haiku poetry writing community.

GUIDELINE RULES

  • Open to all humans, even those who would never read the book are encouraged to participate!
  • Write a haiku / senryu / zappai based on what the prompt made you first think about.
  • Each prompt is a book title, if you have never read the story, write about the visuals that the title inspires for you.
  • Remember to evoke imagery with your poem, traditional haiku is said to juxtapose two nature or season related visuals.
  • Please provide a text-based version if submitting an image.
  • Use the hashtag #HaikuPrajnaChallenge

Submit your poem by sharing online with the hashtag; please link to it in the comments or via DM if I miss resharing it!!

Previous prompts also remain available for use.

The HaikuPrajna Challenge is an entry in APRILandALLEN’s Project Roadmap, our photo book and video log series where subscribed Patreon readers have access to archives with photos, captions and videos which will be collected in future APRILandALLEN’s books--join our Patreon at patreon.com/asquaredproductions to submit to our public poetry prompt and view more free features.

If you need inspiration, or if you are on the fence about reading the book, then check out my own poem and book review on the HaikuPrajna blog.
