SNOOZE: A Blueprint for Merging Worlds
Sol Luckman
“I not only liked [SNOOZE]. I loved it … SNOOZE … is so much more than a story about a young man’s awakening … SNOOZE is as critical to spiritual seekers today as the CELESTINE PROPHECY in its time.” —Laura Walker, OracleReport.com
Check out this wide-ranging interview this wide-ranging interview focused on my Amazon bestselling novel, SNOOZE: A STORY OF AWAKENING.
Indie Reader had this to say about this latest sensation in speculative fiction that is taking the metaphysical and consciousness crowd by storm:
“SNOOZE is a captivating coming-of-age tale about a gifted boy traveling to a fantastical realm to save his father … Thanks to author Sol Luckman’s writing ability, SNOOZE can be enjoyed by readers of all ages, despite being aimed at young adults. Right off the bat, the writing is engaging and captures the attention.”
Readers’ Favorite was even more enthusiastic:
“Luckman’s dazzling abilities as a novelist abound with lyrical prose … Although [SNOOZE] chronicles a boy’s transition into manhood, I would not consider it young adult. The provocative subject matter of science and spirituality is very mature … If you enjoy colorful characters, a fast-paced plot and stories that tug at your heart, this novel in eighty-four chapters is anything but a yawn.”
Join Laura Walker in conversation with yours truly for an in-depth look at Sacred Masculinity, the Divine Feminine, the importance of art in social transformation, awakening to one’s own inner power, undoing the parasitic influence of the Archons—and much more!

Intro to Award-winning Author Sol Luckman’s New Humor Book, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY
Sol Luckman
Of all the anthologized American literature I devoured in my high school English classes, none stuck in my mind quite like, or quite as long as, Ambrose Bierce’s wickedly satirical masterpiece, THE DEVIL’S DICTIONARY.
Putting aside any pretense to conformity or prudishness on my part, I’m the first to admit this deliciously warped glossary—originally titled THE CYNIC’S WORD BOOK when it appeared in 1906—appealed primarily to the little devil in my wayward teenage self.
A master wordsmith in the comical vein of his good buddy Mark Twain (whom he uncannily resembled and to whom he is often compared), Bierce indelibly defined love as “a temporary insanity curable by marriage,” litigation as “a machine which you go into as a pig and come out of as a sausage,” patience as “a minor form of despair, disguised as a virtue,” and an egotist as “a person of low taste, more interested in himself than in me.”
If you don’t find these definitions hilarious, or at least amusing, I advise you to stop reading now and go rustle up a sense of humor before it’s too late.

THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY Wins Finalist Award for Humor in 2018 International Book Awards

Award-winning author receives another major recognition, this time for Humor in the 9th Annual 2018 International Book Awards!
The 9th Annual 2018 International Book Awards, sponsored by the American Book Fest, recognized Sol Luckman’s diabolically lighthearted book of satire, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY: A SPIRITED GLOSSARY FOR THE LITTLE DEVIL IN YOU, as an award-winning Finalist in the category of Humor in this year’s competition.
The IBA is a distinguished international book award competition based in Los Angeles and Phoenix. This year’s competition was open to titles published from 2016-18 and drew over 2,000 applicants vying for recognition in approximately 90 categories.
Jeffrey Keen, President and CEO of American Book Fest, commented that this year’s contest attracted entries from publishers and authors around the world.
Keen remarked of the awards, “The 2018 results represent a phenomenal mix of books from a wide array of publishers throughout the world. With a full publicity and marketing campaign promoting the results of IBA, this year’s winners and finalists will gain additional media coverage for the summer season.”
Keen added, “IBA’s success begins with the enthusiastic participation of authors and publishers and continues with our distinguished panel of industry judges who bring to the table their extensive editorial, PR, marketing, and design expertise.”
Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Disney Hyperion, TarcherPerigee, Atria Books, Bear & Co./Inner Traditions, New American Library and Hachette Book Group are just some of the hundreds of national and international publishing houses that entered books in this year’s competition.
Already established as the Winner in the Humor category of the prestigious 11th Annual 2017 National Indie Excellence Awards, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY is a satirical lexicon for coming to terms with modern culture (or lack thereof), politics (so-called), and life (such as it is).
In its five-star review of this knee-slapping tour de force, Readers’ Favorite had this high praise: “Irreverent in its honesty and take-no-prisoners approach, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY: A SPIRITED GLOSSARY FOR THE LITTLE DEVIL IN YOU is an honest appraisal of words in terms of today’s sensibilities. Sol Luckman has picked up where writers like Mark Twain and Ambrose Bierce left off over a century ago, identifying new associations for words and phrases to match what they really represent today […] They say many a true word is spoken in jest, and perhaps Luckman’s humor is a well-timed wake-up call to be heeded while we still have time to ask important questions.”
Taking a page from Ambrose Bierce’s satirical masterpiece, THE DEVIL’S DICTIONARY, THE ANGEL’S DICTIONARY reinvigorates satire to prove that—though we might not be able to change the world—we can at least have a good laugh at it. Then again, maybe laughter can transform the world!

“Imagine a future where our worst mistakes become celebrated and only connection with our true Mother can save us. Sol Luckman shows us, by bringing them to life in this remarkable novel, that the Gnostic mysteries hold the ultimate key to our collective salvation.” —Andrew Foss, Astrogardens.com
I’m writing to share my perspective on what I believe could potentially come to be regarded as a historically significant novel.
I say this not because I wrote CALI THE DESTROYER (which I did), but because it highlights a little-known yet critically important fact ...
The novel’s primary subject involves the single most censored story in the history of the human race.
