Popularity and Sales of Levi Wayne's WiseMen Series Soar in Week Prior to Book Expo America
Novelist Levi Wayne, who will be signing copies of WiseMen: The Awakening at Book Expo America next week in New York City, watched sales of his novels shoot up dramatically this week in response to radio appearances and promotions in preparation for the June 3-5 event at the Jacob Javitz Center.
(PRWEB) May 27, 2005 -- Mr. Wayne also credits current book sales to the recent release of the second installment, WiseMen: The Avengers, but notes interviews with him seemed to have sparked an increased interest in his work.
In recent interviews, Mr. Wayne asserted that written works and films regarding the supernatural/paranormal are gaining in popularity because people seek answers prompted by an increasing awareness of unexplained phenomena, and a communal cognizance that our religious beliefs and notions about the living spirit no longer provide answers to questions being asked by a more intelligent and spiritually evolving species. He further proposed that we are experiencing the inception of major shifts in our religious and spiritual paradigms as new theories in physics and science continuously educate us to the shortcomings of long established dogma.
When questioned about why he feels people are gravitating toward this form of entertainment, Levi Wayne stated that he believes fiction novels and movies allow us to explore possibilities without assaulting established traditions and thus are an important part of our evolving communal approach to religious and spiritual beliefs.
Reviewers are just beginning to peruse his work and have described him as "having a writing style similar to J.R.R. Tolkien... with prose that create the effect of watching a Star Wars movie." Also noted was an uncommon commitment to character and an odd sense of place, often writing geography as though it were a character."
The WiseMen series is also described as a "riveting thrill-ride into a realm of the supernatural that is immensely satisfying." Mr. Wayne has deftly woven together a tale involving crystals, DNA, dreams, immortality, and natural phenomena common to all of us. His magic is in creating an eerie, enchanting experience with extremely surreal plots that are irresistibly believable. With entertaining novels that question our approach to the spirit realm, discuss the importance and reliability of our established beliefs and leave readers with a sense of awakening, his novels seem destined to grow in popularity.
Levi Wayne lives in a small village in New England. He is a writer, digital artist, and genealogist and has spent a lifetime studying religions, philosophy, history, physics, dreams, paranormal experiences and world culture.
