Dear valued reader, viewer and listener,
I’m thrilled to introduce you to my second book, “Cronos Catharsis — A Living Document(ary),” a spiritual companion novella to my debut, “Time Traveler’s Digest: An Anthology.” This project is the culmination of my deep interest in Egyptology and the enduring mysteries surrounding the Great Library of Alexandria.
In “Cronos Catharsis,” I create stories that seamlessly combines historical fascination and imaginative fiction. The story revolves around Demetrius The Wise, a fictional archivist and Kemetic demigod who co-founded The Academy for Time Travelers in the ancient library. Through meticulous research and creative storytelling, I have attempted to accurately depict the beauty of ancient Alexandria, combining it with Afrocentric art to create a distinct aesthetic that connects the past, present, and future.
Inspired by my lifelong fascination with Egyptology and their unsolved ancient mysteries, “Cronos Catharsis” delves into alternate realities, challenging historical references and exploring new possibilities. As part of my creative process, I’ve used AI-generated art to supplement my storytelling, creating imagery and visualizers that reflect the story’s themes and emotions.
Through “Temporal Visions,” I hope to challenge traditional storytelling by providing a dynamic multimedia experience that captures the essence of the African diaspora and the enchanting world of Egyptology. This anthology allows readers to immerse themselves in a visually appealing world that brings the characters and stories to life.
In the debut novel, “Time Traveler’s Digest” reveals a Khemetic time traveler teaching students at the Great Library of Alexandria the fundamental rule of time travel, encapsulated in the principle of NOW:TIME. The books illustrates the catastrophic events that led to the library’s destruction, inviting readers to consider the implications of time travel, colonialism, and capitalism.
My work is a fusion of art and literature, intended to provoke thought and foster a deeper understanding of history’s complexities. Through these short fiction stories, I hope to combine ancient wisdom and modern technology, highlighting the convoluted elements of time travel as well as the African diaspora’s rich cultural heritage.
I invite you to take a thought-provoking journey with “Cronos Catharsis” and “Time Traveler’s Digest.” Join me as we decipher historical mysteries, challenge conventional narratives, and envision new future possibilities.
