20220323 - Hector Blake (Second Edition)

  

...

Burning through the fog, / restless warnings from the past. / Personified sloth.

#HAIKUPRAJNA - Hector Blake (Second Edition) 

...

The month-long celebration is coming to an end for the first anniversary of "SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories" being released on Amazon, where we released some of the short stories in the book as standalone ebooks on Kindle Unlimited; the updated hardcover, paperback and digital version of the second entry in the HaikuPrajna Collection is almost done! The penultimate new standalone edition being released is "Hector Blake"!

Hector Blake - Allen W. McLean: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09W8LYRXL

Description: 

Hector Blake longed for the excitement of his old life.

He had awoken in a dark room, the walls of which being impervious to his intense pyrokinesis, to fend off an endless one-on-one assault of enemies. He was, a day prior, living in peaceful retirement back home on Titan, once being a renowned superhero across the Sol system.

Now, adversaries flood the room he had found himself in, and his tools and abilities are all that he can use to stave off exhaustion while fighting personifications of his slothful thoughts. Hector’s applied displays incinerated such hindrances while reinvigorating him--but can he keep the fire alive, let alone bright enough to face a stronger burning willpower?

Hector Blake is a story that has been shared online in the past, and so it is the only ebook in this Collection that is not part of KDP Select because it is free to read on other sites.

20220314 - The Cannon

...

Clinging to the good, \ the longing for the work's goal. \ Transcend gravity.

#HAIKUPRAJNA - The Cannon

...

The month-long celebration continues for the first anniversary of "SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories" being released on Amazon where we are releasing some of the short stories in the book as standalone ebooks on Kindle Unlimited along with an updated hardcover, paperback and digital version of the second entry in the HaikuPrajna Collection; the next new standalone edition being released is fan-favorite "The Cannon"!

The Cannon - Allen W. McLean: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09VGS3145

Description: 

Doctor Henry Parker is being hunted by those who wish to separate him from his life's work.

His initial reaction is bewilderment; he grieves, laments and becomes hostile. Their mutual craving for his work results in a citywide chase between all those who want his gravity-defying Cannon armour. At the end of his rope, Hank Parker searches for a way to end his stress, learning that he needs to root out his own clinging and to eliminate the reason that other people want to do him harm.

By doing so, he begins a new path toward redeeming himself.

20220311 - SM-SARA - Kuiper belt Infantry Division Edition

...

Her sonic cannon, \ the personified absurd. \ Rounds of samsara.

#HAIKUPRAJNA - SM-SARA Kuiper belt Infantry Division Edition

...

This month, we are celebrating the first anniversary of "SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories" being released on Amazon by releasing some of the short stories in the book as standalone ebooks on Kindle Unlimited along with an updated hardcover, paperback and digital version of the second entry in the HaikuPrajna Collection; the next new edition being released is the standalone "SM-SARA - Kuiper belt Infantry Division Edition"!

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B09VB55G5G/

Description: 

Contains "KID: A", a short story featuring Richard Abendsen, set before the events of "SM-SARA";

While on an unofficial MEGA Corp hunt, Veronica acts against the complacency of others who faced the absurdity of her partner being possessed by the mythical KID: A.

The Lunar bunker is not what it seems--at least, according to Richard Abendsen. The ace Hunter struggles to keep the bunker’s populace out of the cycle behind the SM-SARA cockpits, while the Maverick machine invasion on Mars keeps him bound to the armored Jackal the SM-SARA remotely pilots. Richard's abuse leads him to learn about those responsible for his reality and about the nature of both stress and suffering, all the while attempting to free himself from the bindings of SM-SARA.

20220303 - First Anniversary of "SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories" + "The Artifact"

Expectations feared.\ A deep space anomaly.\ Complacent hatred.

#HAIKUPRAJNA - The Artifact

It's been one year since "SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories" was released on Amazon, and we are celebrating this anniversary by releasing "The Artifact" as a standalone ebook!

Cover background illustrated by April Salisbury-White

The Artifact - Allen W. McLean: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TVCFLW1

Description:

Captains Bruce Parr and Trevor Rogers had put another argument behind them.
The two were forced to co-pilot a scout mission to inspect an anomaly detected in deep space, so they decided it was easier to ignore and justify their rivalry. Complacent of their hatred for each other, their future arguments--over who was a better Captain--would become worse than any of their last.
Hit with the realization of their overconfidence and by their inability to retreat to an easy “solution”, like they believe a "good Captain" would, they had failed to overcome their hindrances and were consumed until they were nothing…Their attention recaptured by energy reading spikes, they realized the scout ship had discovered the Artifact.

 

Throughout March 2022, some of the short stories in the book will be released as standalone ebooks on Kindle Unlimited along with an updated hardcover, paperback and digital version of the second entry in the HaikuPrajna Collection.

These new editions of "SM-SARA", "Hector Blake", "The Artifact" and "The Cannon" will be recollected in "SM-SARA - Poetry and Other Stories"; there are no substantial changes in the script, and changes include a new cover and updated formatting.

When the second edition of SM-SARA is released, the first edition will be delisted; I believe KDP allows ebooks to be updated, so Kindle readers should be able to enjoy these updates for free, however new physical readers should consider these changes before purchase, and current physical owners are encouraged to get in contact so we can discuss an arrangement.

Thank you for reading; today marked a special day in the history of HaikuPrajna, so I really appreciate all of you out there who have taken the time to see what's being written; last month, we broke both one thousand page views for February and ten thousand lifetime views. Thank you a hundred times over.

Until next time,

Allen W. McLean
