IMMORTAL MEMORIES in Lost Utk’Irtana is an extraordinary journey of a land lost in time!

                In the year 1905, Luke Murdock, an American, has joined a scientific expedition crossing the Himalayas on its way to Khotan a city set on the old Silk Road. The caravan never reaches its destination. Luke is stranded, left alone in the extremes of the great mountain range. After struggling to survive, he chances into a valley where he finds an extraordinary people engaged in a pilgrimage involving a mystical learning. Thus begins Luke's introduction to a strange country totally unknown to the outside world. He travels across utk'Irtana, to Akshi, its ancient capital built inside a holy mountain. He explores Akshi's Great Archive and its ancient records, meets a woman who he is deeply drawn to, and engages in esoteric ceremonies using a sacred blue water called Azu that transport him back into time.

 Immortal Memories is an adventure story in the tradition of the Lost World genre of H. Rider Haggard, Michael Crichton, and James Hilton. It is a voyage across an unknown land, travels back in time, and a man's search for his destiny in Lost utk'Irtana.

POETRY

Peter Genovese

The writings of two unique American artists who rose out of the 1960s–70s.

Karmic Debris presents the writings of two unique American artists who rose out of the 1960's - 70's. Both were part of a migration of poets, writers, musicians, adventurers, spiritual seekers, social radicals who spread across the country and the world, becoming contributors to a pivotal era of change. They were nomads searching for answers, freedom and wisdom, striving for new means of expression. They moved from place to place... not looking for homes, but for inspiration. Piya Italia and Franke Wednesday were Avant performers, musicians, as well as writers, exploring the boundaries as creative revolutionaries. A love story is embedded in their words, about a complex relationship, filled with the passion of two artists in an exceptional era.

Their words represent a unique time, the 1960s- 70s... today, those are days long past... but that period, still holds a powerful influence and sway over many.
