John K – Am I Alone?

By author Stephanie Vlahos

Visionary Fiction John K - Am I Alone? by Author Stephanie Vlahos “Am I at the center of the universe or the center of my universe?”

“Am I at the center of the universe or the center of my universe?”

JOHN K – Am I Alone? The astronaut who lit a fire under the novel Mercury’s Wake – The Long Weekend.

John K’s story takes readers on a journey beyond ordinary reality and is accompanied by whimsical illustrations inviting curiosity, trust in the cosmic dance, and find humor in life’s mysteries.
Enjoy the ride. Pure Visionary Fiction.

“Naturally, the COVID pandemic has influenced the narrative; with our lives reduced to digital online profiles in lockdown, and our homes becoming sanctuaries we hide in, there’s been a shift from the real-life community ties to isolated hermit-hood. A thought-provoking, timely piece.

 — AJ Clay, Lothian Life

“…bleak and blackly comic, John K is a piece which tackles loneliness, emptiness, and existence, this is ultimately a book which celebrates connection and community.”

 — Louise Penn, Loure Reviews

Blind Chaos – Friday

By author Stephanie Vlahos

“Trust me, it will only get weirder.”

Visionary Fiction Blind Chaos - Friday by Author Stephanie Vlahos As the chain of characters grows, it generates a unique plot of tangled friendships, a series of mysteries leading to a mass tragedy, and mind-bending events, seen and unseen.

Friday, the beginning of a long weekend. Her world in pieces, Imani Cosmos settles into new digs in Caesars Palace Las Vegas as she navigates the minefield of probability, meeting Bozzy, a luck junky on a karmic roll and Rhea, an attorney who is possibly suicidal and haunting herself.

As the chain of characters grows, it generates a unique plot of tangled friendships, a series of mysteries leading to a mass tragedy, and mind-bending events, seen and unseen.

It feels like The End even to Minority World people hellbent on having fun, and it all began with a book in an abandoned Cadillac in the New Mexico desert.

We’re all on a journey. We glimpse the road signs, meet our guides, other travelers, make choices along the way as we chart the paths we walk. You can take a detour: that could be for as long as a lifetime, or as short as a long weekend. The questions is: where is that detour headed?

Vegas…
…a retreat, an escape, a smoke and mirrors destination offering gambling and probability, entertainment and magic, people from everywhere armed with backstories and expectations, or places where a visitor can experience the other side of Sin City like the Valley of Fire, Dragon Ridge, the Mojave desert, the great Hoover Dam, and maybe, just maybe, slip in between the fabric of reality.

Will you join Imani Cosmos for a 4-day weekend? With her world in pieces Imani settles in Caesars Palace Las Vegas. She navigates the minefield of probability. Bumping into seven strangers headed toward a mind-boggling tragedy and mind-bending experiences.

Their guide? The mysterious book JOHN K, discovered in an abandoned Cadillac just up from Chaco Canyon, New Mexico.
