Earth to Eternity: A Cosmic Comedy with Heart and Mind

Welcome to the world of From Earth to Eternity, where pancakes can hold the secrets of the universe, and cosmic shortcuts are just a detour to nowhere. This novel takes readers on a wild ride across space, blending humor, philosophy, and adventure in a way that will make you laugh, think, and feel all at once.

A Cosmic Journey with a Quirky Twist

From Earth to Eternity isn’t your typical space opera. It’s a story that combines the absurd with the profound, taking readers from the far reaches of the galaxy to the depths of the human soul. At its heart, the book explores the meaning of life, love, and everything in between—but it does so with a wink and a smile.

In this world, nothing is as straightforward as it seems. Characters find themselves navigating the "Cosmic Paradox of Pancakes," participating in the "Festival of Randomness," and even pulling off a heist that's too good to refuse. Each chapter brings a new twist, balancing thought-provoking moments with laugh-out-loud absurdity.

If you’re a fan of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy or Good Omens, this book will feel like a delightful companion. It’s perfect for readers who enjoy a blend of sci-fi, satire, and existential comedy.

Meet the Characters: Eccentric, Hilarious, and Deeply Human

The cast of From Earth to Eternity is as quirky as the universe they inhabit. Whether they’re dodging cosmic mishaps or philosophizing about life over breakfast, these characters are full of heart and wit. Their journeys are filled with existential musings, but they never lose their sense of humor—or their ability to find joy in the most unexpected places.

Their stories remind us that life’s greatest mysteries can be found in both the grandest adventures and the smallest, most mundane moments. And sometimes, the best answers to life’s biggest questions can be found in a stack of pancakes.

Where Philosophy Meets Comedy

What makes From Earth to Eternity truly stand out is its blend of humor and philosophy. The novel tackles big questions—What is the purpose of life? What lies beyond the stars?—but does so with a light, comedic touch. You’ll find yourself pondering the nature of existence one minute and laughing at a ridiculous cosmic mishap the next.

This balance of the absurd and the profound is what makes From Earth to Eternity such an enjoyable read. It’s not just a space adventure; it’s a deep dive into what it means to be human, wrapped in a package of intergalactic shenanigans.

Why You Should Read From Earth to Eternity

• Humor: This book will keep you laughing from start to finish with its clever dialogue, quirky situations, and cosmic absurdities.
• Philosophy: For all its humor, From Earth to Eternity doesn’t shy away from asking the big questions about life, the universe, and everything.
• Adventure: With cosmic heists, interstellar festivals, and characters who never stop surprising you, this book is a wild ride through the galaxy.
• Heart: Beneath the comedy and adventure, this story is about human connection, love, and the search for meaning in an infinite universe.

Final Thoughts

If you’re ready for a book that will make you laugh, reflect, and take you on an unforgettable journey through the cosmos, From Earth to Eternity is for you. If you’re a fan of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Good Omens, or the satirical works of Terry Pratchett, this book will feel like a delightful companion. You will find the same blend of wit, absurdity, and heart in this cosmic adventure. It’s a novel that proves that the best adventures are those that make you question everything while keeping a smile on your face.

eBook: The Tiger and his Lady Love

This is a book of poetry written by me which is now available on Amazon as a Kindle edition. Decided that I would sit down and write a few poems telling the story of a few of my jungle adventures and the stories of a few animals. The poems are actually short stories written to meter. I tried to capture the romance of the  forests with all its natural beauty and treasures that are available only to the ones it choose to reveal its secrets to. Some of the title include 'The Elephant' which is a poem about an elephant that roams the forests wild and free and also becomes friends with a human being. There is also the poem of a large male tiger and his life of love and rejection and the ultimate in having arrived when he follows his tiger instinct and learns all. Also the poem about little fawns playing in the sunshine - something so far removed from our world of FB, Twitter and Pinterest. Yes these are videos that can be captured on dSLR cameras and iPads but the jungle only calls a few. This is a poem of absolute beauty and reminded me to leave everything and just enjoy the moment. I ended it with the story of a waterfall deep in the forest quiet undiscovered till today. Please let me know what you think about this concept in the comments section below. 
The Tiger and his Lady love now available on Amazon

Amazon to open a digital-books library [Report]

Image: Unesco

According to people familiar with the matter, Amazon is in talks with books publishes to open a NetFlix Inc. type service which would allow users to read these books by paying an annual fee. Publishes though do not seem to happy with the idea as it might actually lower the value of the books they feel. Amazon on the other hand seems to be pushing this more for older tittles. This however will benefit readers as they get to choose what they want to read and rent it our for a few days. Users can browse through the library content and take their time in selecting books they would like to read. However how will this benefit publishers., with sales of real books falling and the sale of e-books rising. Publishers it seems are not attracted to such a proposition and would rather that people actually go out and by their books. which also makes a lot of sense as some effort should be involved in getting nice books. This also leads to word of mouth sales and the whole thing associated with buying and reading good books. What do you think about such an idea please share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Posting a question from the Kindle:
1. Place the cursor at the beginning of the passage you'd like to ask a question about using the 5-way controller, then press down to anchor it
2. Highlight the passage using the 5-way controller
3. Enter your question about the passage you highlighted, beginning with the phrase "@author". Please note that questions asked from the Kindle are limited to 100 characters. If you would like to ask a longer question, feel free to ask the question from the Amazon Author Page.
