    About this ebook

    The Goddess is obsolete. Or not.
    So five bitter young men learn, after they burn their school and set off on wild and wicked wandering in aimless flight.
    Drafted to a war-in-self fostered along generations of their forefathers, the young rebels don’t quite recognise their master race, master sex conditioning has sundered them from the balancing native spirit connected wholly to Goddess in all, including self.
    Until along the way the Goddess energy intervenes, in the form of an enigmatic multi-ethnic woman as brown and inviting as earth itself. And as Mother Earth has her contrasting faces, so too does this woman.
    “I am called Faith,” she tells the self-willed exiles.
    They attach to her in shockingly intimate fashion and find themselves surprised, not by what they do not know about her, but by what they never knew about themselves.
    Hurt, Lost, Betray, Slay and Hate, strive after some kind of conversion via pseudonym and sex, corruption and catharsis, with Faith as their sometimes sadistic spur, sometimes sweet savior, always North Star.
    Each “lostboy” strives to live up to his newly-chosen name, certain that this is what will fully free him from the trammels of the existence he fled. Except, Faith – full of secrets Faith – ever reveals that nothing should be taken at face value by the unbalanced and uninitiated.
    Part Bildungsroman, part allegory, this magical realism story matches shades of The Pilgrim’s Progress to modern male road trip, in a rite of passage to an uncertain end.

    Author

    SoUL

    SoUL is an author collective formed by writers Jhaye-Q Baptiste, The Dispossessed, Patrick Joyce, and L. Ric Vidale, out of resistance to the creative confinement insisted upon them as “West Indian” authors. Each writer, as a “muti-peopled” (multi-ethnic) citizen of the world, has over the years crafted a style that bucks the conventions still seeking to stymie the pace of modern Caribbean writers. The band of writers collaborates to varying degrees on each novel project, crafting a fusion of style that echoes the blended notes of their heritage and the tone of the world today. Chosen SoUL representative author and editor, Jhaye-Q Baptiste, has been at the forefront of the Trinidad & Tobago media since her introduction as the nation’s entrant in the international Miss World 1988 pageant. Jhaye-Q, born from a line of storytellers, worked her way up through the ranks of the editorial department of then prominent local newspaper, The Guardian, to eventually create the first ever openly liberal feminist columns in the land, "Surfacing," "Bitch’s Brew" and "Brew." She also penned regular sex columns, "Sex and the Trini" and "Come Good." Jhaye-Q later produced, directed and presented her own two-hour, five days a week TV talk show, The Jaye-Q Show, with a hip, unprecedented socio-spiritual slant. Her turbulent exit from the media arena of her nation provided the concept and much of the material for her first non-fiction book, Management and Other Murders (set for publication early 2015). She is currently working on setting up a publishing agency that will be more embracing and supportive of new approaches by Caribbean storytellers. The Dispossessed, Patrick Joyce and L. Ric Vidale each produced as multi-faceted and flamboyant a professional history as their editor, but have opted for the protection provided by relative anonymity. SoUL’s work reflects shared accepting attitudes towards the innate human need for sex and gender balance within Self and societies; as well as the even deeper urge to be acknowledged as also spiritual embodiments living lives of manifest magical realism. SoUL’s next book, Deep Love, will explore the healing power of sexual expression, whether chosen to be shared or solitary.
