NEW BOOK RELEASE: THE CHAOS CAFE

My new and fifth book (my second one in nine months) went up for sale on Amazon a few days before I left for my glorious vacation trip to the paradise of an island called Cebu—The Chaos Cafe, my most enthralling, gripping and philosophical book yet. And it's satirical and suspenseful as well, keeping you more and more on the edge of your seat as it goes on. It's a dark, urban, existential comedy and fantasy on chaos and a real mind-blender too. I'm heavily influenced by both Woody Allen and Kevin Smith, and the surrealistic style and existential themes often found in the films of the former are certainly apparent in it and my other books as well (except for my dark, gory, romantic vampire thriller, Red Love, though it does have its philosophical elements), while the contentious, often wacky, dialogue-driven parts clearly have the influence of Smith, especially my first book, Incorrigibility, which was originally written in screenplay form when I was in my mid-20s. Philosophy was my major and what I did my master's degree in, and the existential matters covered by Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Sartre and Camus are motifs in The Chaos Cafe.

"That God does not exist, I cannot deny. That my whole being cries out for God, I cannot forget." - Jean-Paul Sartre
