📚 FROM BOOKSELLER TO AUTHOR: THE TRAGIC BIRTH OF A 'HOLY FOOL' & THE SUFI SURFER 🏄♂️
Though the writing bug bit me early as a kid—using my father’s manual typewriter and liquid paper to create stories—the author bug bit me much later, right behind a cash register.
After earning my B.A. in Psychology from York University, I spent five years running a local, brick-and-mortar bookstore in the St. Clair Centre in Toronto. It was an absolute masterclass in human nature. Day after day, I Read more of this blog post »

" You can have your Richard Farinas, Brautigans, Ken Keseys, your Keroucs or Ginsbergs, I'll take mine as a Tom Robbins. If I were to pick a Shaman, a literary Guru guy--- he's my man. - While those guys were sticking daisies on school buses drinking "

“Heroes are rebels with a cause. Rebels because they challenge the traditional ways of thinking and refuse to follow the herd. They have a cause, a vision, that’s larger than life.”

🚨 FOR READERS WHO LOVE DEEP SATIRE AND SPIRITUAL ODYSSEYS: If you've ever wondered what happens when The Life of Pi meets The Master and Margarita, you'll discover it inside the pages of The Sufi Surfer! The Mystical Quest: Like Pi, Amer Fateh is a wounded, eccentric soul whose spiritual hunger drives him through impossible circumstances toward transcendence.
The Savage Satire: Like Bulgakov's chaotic Moscow, the In-sight Institute is a world of charlatans and true believers colliding in darkly comic chaos.
What sets The Sufi Surfer apart is its warm, irreverent heart: Amer's toad-venom flatulence and whirling dervish sales pitches are as theologically serious as they are riotously funny, grounding the mystical in the gloriously, stubbornly human.
👉 Add it to your TBR pile or grab your copy on Amazon.
