During the last couple of years, Obsidian Eagle has been working on the third book of his Lunacy Trilogy.

I first became aware of that fact when I stumbled across the following passage written by a modern mystic (Samael Aun Weor):

As any seasoned writer worth their salt can tell you, one's muse may at times manifest itself as nothing less than an incurable madness. Such was the case with my second book. Despite being well aware that no publisher would ever want to pick it up, and although I knew beforehand that few readers were going to be able to slog through its incessant tomfoolery, I insisted not only on writing the damn thing—but even worse—I paid to self-publish it!
