A palate cleanser is a neutral-flavored food or beverage which removes food residue from our tongue. This allows us to accurately savor a new flavor and prepares us for the next course. We can enjoy the delicacies of our next course from a fresh perspective once the lingering aftertastes are removed. Our minds are the tongues of our experience. The residue from past relationships, trials, and experiences will leave us with a filthy palate. We can have a lot of life's remaining leftover flavors ruining our present course. It is imperative that our mental palates be frequently cleansed so we can fully embrace our next level from a fresh perspective without the residual tastes of things we have consumed from our past. We can savor our precious experiences without the crud from the past which leaves us with an even messier aftertaste. Elder Bonita Womack writes and teaches from years of experience on how to cleanse our palates. Her unique methodology and powerful insight simply work!

Gene O'Neill's magnum opus of speculative fiction, The Cal Wild Chronicles, comes to a close with THE FAR FUTURE, a meta-novel with interconnecting tales that takes place shortly after-and also intertwine with-those in THE NEAR FUTURE and the rest of this colorful series.Collecting some of Gene's more recent works, such as memorable short stories like "Down on the 01 Level," where for a price one can transform into skins of past celebrities, "Nostalgia," in which full-body art is commonplace and sometimes useful when hiding from the law, and even "The Hungry Skull" (a love story), which takes place around an illegal histro-bistro where historical events are reenacted in 'deathplays' by actors and commonfolk alike, this final book in the series perhaps offers us warning glimpses into possible futures of our own, wherein prejudices and stereotyping might one day take us if we allow them into our lives.Also included are connected novellas such as The Great Northern Sweet Water Raid, and Jade, and two new futuristic novelettes, "On the North Slope of Little Agony" and "The Dark Green Woman," which further explore post-apocalyptic Cal Wild and its colorful tales of Dyed People, mutants, and other wonderful creatures. With this final piece of the Cal Wild puzzle placed, we can finally understand the metamorphosis and importance of a not-so-unrealistic future.

A post-apocalyptic vision of California comes to life in the first book of The Cal Wild Chronicles, a series of novels by Gene O'Neill that span horror, science fiction, and fantasy. Over the last 30 years, Gene has explored this colorful world called Cal Wild through award-winning short fiction, long fiction, and novels, and now his magnum opus is collected within four volumes, and illustrated throughout by Orion Zangara. It all starts with this recently expanded version of the Bram Stoker Award nominated novella, THE CONFESSIONS OF ST. ZACH, where the accused are judged and permanently dyed for their crimes. DP's, or Dyed People, roam Cal Wild, and every day they are faced with prejudice and brutality while they try to survive a new non-colored world. A crimson man, a lime green woman, the rightfully and wrongfully accused, some dyed amber, some dyed indigo... ST. ZACH will take you from the begging of the end, and lead you to THE BURDEN OF INDIGO, the story that started it all.

In THE NEAR FUTURE, Gene O'Neill covers an immense spectrum of color in a post-apocalyptic vision of California. A meta-novel of sorts, part three of The Cal Wild Chronicles collects some of Gene's most memorable fiction, cohesively connecting stories such as "The Armless Conductor," which was published over thirty years ago in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, to Doc Good's Travelling Show, a Bram Stoker Award nominated novella, and "Coyote Gambit." Tying these stories together are completely new chapters of Cal Wild, such as a new short story, "Return of the Ice Man," as well as a new novelette, Mohave Transfer, and a new novella, The Scarlet Man, in which the lives of colorful DP's, or Dyed People, cross paths as they try to survive a world left in ruin. Gene O'Neill masterfully blends decades of literary creation in this penultimate book of a genre-building series that may one day be called his magnum opus of his speculative work. Horror, fantasy, and science fiction collide with unforgiving, unflinching abandon as THE NEAR FUTURE of Cal Wild draws closer to THE FAR FUTURE.

The Cal Wild Chronicles continues with THE BURDEN OF INDIGO, the story that started it all. In 1981 Gene O'Neill published a five thousand word short story in The Twilight Zone Magazine called "The Burden of Indigo," which launched his award-winning career of writing horror, science fiction, and fantasy. This novel-sized expansion of Gene's original well-loved story is the second of the four volumes, illustrated throughout by Orion Zangara. THE BURDEN OF INDIGO begins where THE CONFESSIONS OF ST. ZACH left off, and follows the story of an indigo man. Dyed long ago for perhaps the ultimate crime, he believes his color is starting to fade, and with visions of a Rainbow Man on his mind, he wants to know why. Is he beginning to heal? Also included in this volume is a short history and background by Gene, as well as the original short story version of "The Burden of Indigo" as it originally appeared in The Twilight Zone Magazine.
