#HAIKUPRAJNA - Fishing for Caribou Release Trailer

Hello, "Fishing for Caribou" is now available in eBook, paperback and hardcover!

Blurb:
    "The Spearthrower travels across the land.
    "Having left his family's cave, a paleolithic man searches for other cave-people with the hope of learning about their ways of life. His own nomadic system follows a routine of hunting wild-things, crafting tools and sleeping. Club-bearing caves teach him cutting edge techniques such as cooking and sewing. Over this adventure-epic, he learns how to cope with the changes and losses that accompanies our lives."

The way that the theory of ideas or forms from (Neo-)Platonic philosophies affects our lives is the central theme of this story.

Official Reveal:

While we finish the cover images, April and I are pleased to more officially announce the third book in the HaikuPrajna Collection, "Fishing for Caribou". I wrote this story during 2020's Inktober and National Novel Writing Month and, while writing this 2021's Inktober and NaNoWriMo, I still have the hopes of tying the two together promotionally through the two annual writing events.

In addition to sharing the pictures in this post with our readers, I wanted to document a few of the changes that the story went through during production. One of Spearthrower's spearheads is a fallen meteorite with a sharp edge, and while the draft does not reflect this, it is referenced in the book's poetry section; at one point the alchemists were apothecaries, then scientists who had a rocket; and the title had developed from "Spear-thrower" to "Fishing for Caribou".

We are still planning on an October 2021 release, but will probably have to wait until November; sorry for the hold-ups, we appreciate your patience and understanding.

Release date and trailer coming soon!

Thank you, as always, for reading,
Until next time,

On his way back home he learns how to cope with the changes and loss that accompanies growing old. During this time, Spearthrower passes on his system to his friends as thanks for the wisdom that he had gained."

.- Summary

"The Spearthrower left his family's cave to learn about other people's lifestyles. He led a nomadic routine of hunting, crafting, sleeping and traveling. He had made friends with a tribe who captured him, and had met other caves with individual teachers. On his journey home he returned to past settlements, where he learned to cope with change and loss. He passed his system on to settlements as thanks for the unique lessons he was gifted."
