Goodreads asked Janis Harper:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Janis Harper "Jonas and the Mountain" (forthcoming in October 2021 by Sacred Stories) was a way to get the protagonists to figure out a long-standing central question I had regarding enlightenment / nonduality and metaphysics / creating reality. Can these two approaches to "truth" meet? The novel poured out after a retreat in India with an enlightened guru and some life-changing experiences.
