I am in the process of creating a most exciting forthcoming project for the follow up to my current short story available for sale, Again: From Gatekeeper to Earth Walk Departure. It is another Mow Yen story and it expands the world which she is currently incarnated in- the 3.51 dimension of Earth.
In this story we see how the Champion of Gaia, Mow Yen, goes around her sponsor and snag herself a mentor. None other than Sun Wukong; China's famous Demon Monkey King born from a Stone Mountain and key participant in the Journey to the West in order to retrieve some Buddhist scriptures for translation. This is the one and same young monkey who named himself, "Great Sage Equal to Heaven." So I'm tinkering with something that is honored, tried, and true. This is a challenging project because my story, Monkey God and His Protege, tells how Mow Yen and Sun Wukong became spiritual partners and friends until the day that Wukong leaves his body to be reincarnated again. I understand that I must be respectful of this beloved character. I'm doing my research and I swear to do right by the Monkey King (God in my story.) He is a key character in the Chronicles of Mow Yen and will be in the novels as a mentor/wise sage until he passes. His role will follow that of mentor in the Hero's Journey championed by Joseph Campbell. I envision this Monkey God as being the Monkey King after he has matured and aged like fine wine. He was already known as an example of "pursuing your dreams and ambitions, in the face of numerous obstacles and challenges; and only with cleverness, determination, and courage will one be able to overcome them to achieve success." Now he will be seen passing this knowledge on to next generation. I'll do right, promise. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle
