“BEGINNER'S LUKE to a conventional novel is what an animated film is to a documentary. It is creative, imaginative, humorous and very distinctive.” –Reader Views
 
"BEGINNER'S LUKE is a welcome start to what promises to be a mind-bending journey through the mind of the ultimate iconoclast." Apex Reviews
 
"BEGINNER'S LUKE is truly an experience that cannot adequately be described except to say that it is extraordinary and grabs one from the first word of the first chapter and never lets one go. Definitely a spiritual journey that you do not want to put down." –Niama Williams, Ph.D., Host, "Poetry & Prose & Anything Goes"

Who would you be if you could be anyone? go anywhere? do anything? Well, you can! Luke Soloman will show you how.

Luke is more than merely self-conscious. He is sui generis, literally believing himself into being. Beginner’s Luke is the first novel in a series of six madcap adventures that, collectively, make up the imaginary life of this lovably irreverent modern-day Walter Mitty. This eminently readable yet highly experimental novel has attracted a sizable international following, drawing comparisons to A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, and On the Road.

Want to read a sample chapter? Too bad. But you can receive the whole book FREE. See below.


A respected New York publisher, whose authors feature a National Book Award finalist in addition to dozens of prestigious award winners, offered the author a contract (subsequently declined) for the Beginner's Luke Series, which was selected out of a yearly slush pile of nearly 8,000 manuscripts—a rare and wonderful feat these days.

While titillating in the rambunctious tradition of Henry Miller and Jack Kerouac, this extraordinary literary début that is fast becoming an underground classic equally impresses as a work of unsurpassed visionary art. Luke’s signature obsessions with self, sex, satire and slapdash highlight a serious, and life-changing, point: consciousness creates. The point is there is a point to living in the imagination—for only through it can we reinvent ourselves and our world.

This hilariously picaresque novel series focused on reality creation will appeal especially to those with a sense of humor interested in manifestation, Law of Attraction, Science of Mind, the Secret, co-creation, creativity, empowerment, human potential, and enlightenment. Oh, yeah. And great literature. Read reviews. Join the Beginner's Luke Book Club.
