April and I are ecstatic to formally announce to you the next book in the HaikuPrajna Collection.

Blurb

If you are reading this, then you are loved.

HaikuPrajna is back with more bite-sized insight to illuminate the darkness in our lives. These poems and short-stories by Canadian indie-author Allen W. McLean capture feelings of love, the city, sleep and the five hindrances. No stranger to thought-forms and the law of attraction, the latest in the HaikuPrajna Collection works to deal with uncomfortable truths instead of attempting to destroy reality.

Overcome the hindrances, as explored in superhero-fantasies such as "Hector Blake", and understand the true nature of life through the science fiction of "SM-SARA" with the second book of the HaikuPrajna Collection.

"SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories" contains over a hundred poems from my daily HaikuPrajna blog, and features seven short stories our readers may be familiar with. Grounded by mindfulness, yoga and meditation practices and studies, my works draw inspiration from speculative science fiction with comic books and manga from creators like DC, Marvel, Oni Press, Philip K. Dick, Arthur C. Clarke, H.G. Wells, Gainax, Studio Trigger and Shueisha. 

Releases January 31st 2021

PRE-ORDERS FOR DIGITAL AVAILABLE HERE

I have drawn from every source in my life to create HaikuPrajna and my pieces of fiction; if we have interacted in any way, in person or online, even just by reading this post, thank you for supporting the creation of this book.

Thank you again for reading, until next time,

20210114 WIP Update - Escape Velocity

 

HaikuPrajna

Rounds of samsara,/ neverending inward spin./ Escape endless drains.

( Escape Velocity )

Right around the corner from announcing the next book in the HaikuPrajna Collection. April has an amazing cover illustrated for "SM-SARA, Poems and Other Stories" which will blow the previous cover out of the water. We cannot wait to show you.

I like to focus on only one post-production project in the forefront of my mind, and SM-SARA is the closest project to being a book, meaning Spear-thrower still isn’t getting the attention it properly deserves from me. Though, once SM-SARA is up, the floodgates will open again on Spearthrower and the cave-peoples. I enjoy having a constant flow of content to share with our supporters and readers, so I am hoping this plan covers that for us. 

Check out my comic book inspired fiction and poetry through the below links.

Until next time,
