Ayisha Qandisha and other djinns

An American university student, majoring in landscape architecture, has one more design class to complete for graduation—a term abroad and he has chosen Morocco.

Using the beautifully tiled, colored and patterned public water fountains in the medinas, he plans to count people—a simple ‘turn-up-every-day-and-count’ metric exercise.

Captivating

He thought it would be simple; but it wasn’t.

Ayisha Qandisha and other djinns from North Africa and West Africa are determined to get a piece of the Western fresh meat.

The whole story is in Tangier Gardens.

MATRYOSHKA—the Russian nesting dolls for CJ

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The first doll is the landscape architecture doll. On that doll’s dress can be found painted in delightful detail three stories. That doll contains three stories about the lives and careers of landscape architects. One is about a student, soon to graduate in landscape architecture from university, whose uncertainty endangers his career. The second is about a mid career achiever so eager to succeed that he chances his life. And the last is about a senior professional who just can’t retire.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside that landscape architecture doll is a second doll, an American expatriate doll upon which is painted a pattern at once attractively easy to enter and also difficult to exit. That pattern highlights the interactive threads of each story wherein people, struggling at the sharp edge where multi-cultural theory meets cross-cultural reality, come face to face with the resulting electricity causing unexpected results.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Inside that expatriate doll is an ethnobotanical doll painted with characters who, in all three stories, explore the hazy edges of people and plant relationships where stories and tales give way to esoterica. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And inside the ethnobotanical doll is the last and most detailed adventure doll painted with the brightest naive colors with a loudness that hides the hearts of each of the three stories including coming of age in North Africa; dealing with death in Saudi Arabia: and, building gardens with pirates and white collar mercenaries in the Empty Quarter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It all begins with a walk in Tangier Gardens, an eBook.

Two Roads Diverged in a Green Wood

Two roads diverged in a green wood… did CJ really have a choice?

Travel to Morocco on a fun trip, weaving culture with horticulture.
That arcane weave is the magic connection of humans with nature.
Discover that weave with CJ, the protagonist.

This action-packed coming of age novel follows Christopher Janus, a determined American university student who, during his last year, is abroad studying landscape architecture in Tangier. But what was supposed to be a simple design study quickly turns into a battle of wits and will as CJ is thrown into a world of unexpected challenges that threaten his degree, professional goals, and even his life. With danger lurking in every corner, CJ must rely on his courage and luck to make it out alive. If you enjoyed the suspenseful thrill ride of Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code, you’re sure to love Tangier Gardens. Buy at Amazon now before the price changes! Amazon link: https://amzn.to/3HLrtyv

You got to look inside

The way in to Tangier Gardens.

These metaphysical autobiographies will transport you to a realm of discovery beyond the limits of nature and the five senses. Christopher Janus graduated a landscape architect, but his true education came from the most unexpected and unfortunate experiences of his life. In his fictional autobiographies, readers follow CJ on his international travels as he discovers the secrets of the landscape. As CJ navigates through this supernatural world and uncovers its hidden powers, he must grapple with the consequences of his discoveries. Along the way, CJ finds himself balancing between love and loss, life and death, and the supernatural and the mundane. If you enjoyed the supernatural thrill of Alice Hoffman’s Practical Magic, you’ll be enthralled by Christopher Janus’s mysterious journeys in The Landscape Architect series.

“The Landscape Architect” Series–update

CJ was in Morocco during Tangier Gardens and Curious Tales, the first two books in The Landscape Architect Series, which now have been published.

The next two books have CJ in Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Switzerland and Egypt…BUT

…springtime in these Swiss mountains and lakes has been so enchanting that I have had to go outside and walk and walk and walk. My novels suffer. Yenbo Palms and Crystal Vision will be published before the end of this year.
