“BEGINNER'S LUKE is a welcome start to what promises to be a mind-bending journey through the mind of the ultimate iconoclast.” —Apex Reviews
“BEGINNER'S LUKE to a conventional novel is what an animated film is to a documentary. It is creative, imaginative, humorous and very distinctive.” —Reader Views “Definitely a spiritual journey that you do not want to put down.” —Niama Williams, Ph.D., Host, “Poetry & Prose & Anything Goes” 
Who would you be if you could be anyone? go anywhere? do anything? Well, you can! Luke Soloman will show you how.
Luke is more than merely self-conscious. He is sui generis, literally believing himself into being. Beginner’s Luke
is the first novel in a series of six madcap adventures that,
collectively, make up the imaginary life of this lovably irreverent
modern-day Walter Mitty. This eminently
readable yet highly experimental novel series has attracted a sizable international following, drawing comparisons to A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and On the Road.
Want to read a sample chapter? Too bad. But you can receive Books I-III FREE. See below. A respected New York publisher, whose authors feature a National Book Award finalist in addition to dozens of prestigious award winners, offered the author a contract (subsequently declined in favor of self-publishing) for the Beginner's Luke Series, which was selected out of a yearly “slush pile” of nearly 8,000 manuscripts—a rare and wonderful feat these days. While titillating in the rambunctious tradition of Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac, this extraordinary literary series that is fast becoming an “underground classic” equally impresses as a work of unsurpassed visionary art. Luke’s signature obsessions with self, sex, satire and slapdash highlight a serious, and life-changing, point: consciousness creates. The point is there is a point to living in the imagination—for only through it can we reinvent ourselves and our world. This hilariously picaresque novel series focused on reality creation will appeal especially to those with a sense of humor interested in manifestation, Law of Attraction, Science of Mind, the Secret, co-creation, creativity, empowerment, human potential, and enlightenment.

NEW EBOOK! What happens when imagination shacks up with reality? The answer may shock you! Be a slacker with the unabashedly picaresque Luke Soloman in Book III of the Beginner's Luke
Series for a debauched stint in the Funhouse, “an alternate universe,”
in the Hero’s words, “that would make Lewis Carroll woozy.” “During Luke’s extended stay with Malcolm [in Portraits of an Imaginary Young Man],
Soloman gains a wealth of knowledge and experience ... His eyes are opened to an alternate way of
viewing his own life, and his heart is opened to a better way of
managing his own feelings. He even meets quite the interesting
character at a Halloween party one night, who quickly reveals to him
two astonishing truths about himself that change him forever.” —Apex Reviews
