This is the second novel in the series of Young Magic. This time, the Variants face many unlikely challenges. At first glance, the challenges may not seem as demanding as in the first novel. The Variants do not face powerful magical spells of dark magic. Their chief adversary is a voodoo master. Magic is more one of deception, illusion, and confusion.
Along with this adversary is the confusion and deception within their relationships. The relationships within the group are challenged and often fractured. Ultimately, they find their way through the confusion and unite stronger than ever.
In writing this novel, I wanted to delve deeper into their characters and relationships. I also wanted to show that sometimes in life, the greatest challenges are often related to the confusion surrounding us and our struggle to hold onto the clarity within us. In short, at times, the worst enemies we have are our thoughts and feelings.
This book is a fictive representation of certain aspects of Voodoo, which have become fictive representations of the religion and bear little relation to the actual practices.
The Series:
A racially and socially diverse group of teenagers with different magical abilities meet each other and form an unlikely bond. They are each in their ways unique, having their particular character traits and challenges. I portray them as average teenagers with issues that normally arise at this time in life. They have different upbringings, magical abilities, and unique histories, yet in many ways, they are the same. They conform to society, yet they are also separate from it. The novel doesn’t focus unnecessarily on sexuality and avoids profane language.
It is an engaging mystery and action novel woven into the fantasy genre. It is written for teens and young adults and brings out the magic of life.
The Reality Beneath Book II Going Sideways on Life is a sequel to Johnson’s first book of short stories, The Reality Beneath - Old Fashioned Reality in the Modern word. It contains a completely new set of short stories written in the unique genre that he is known for. It is an insightful mixture of speculative fiction, science fiction, and fantasy.

SULI Daniel Johnson has a unique style. It is a mixture of speculative fiction, science fiction, and fantasy. Johnson sets his stories in differing settings and time periods. Some are in the future, some in the past. Some are no place at all. He creates a storyline to explore different perspectives many don’t often consider.
Mars is from Martian is a story of conflict between humans terraforming Mars and a race of Martians who have been genetically engineered to live in the Martian atmosphere. After a century or so of terraforming Mars, many bases and settlements have been set up. As an interim process to assist in terraforming animals and plants that can live on Mars have been created. These are hoped to assist with creating food and the development of an atmosphere. An eccentric bio-geneticist, Neals Wells, creates intelligent beings adapted to the Martian atmosphere. Creating intelligent life is illegal, so he flees with his creation into the Valles Marinaras, an immense Martian canyon where it has been found not practical to set up settlements. His creation propagates and, after a few centuries, develops into a small tribe.
Inevitably, the Martians come in contact with the humans who are terraforming the planet. This eventually leads to raids and war between the two species. Both species are similar but fighting for their survival. There can only be one winner in this contest, or can there?
This is the first part of the series' Mars is for Martians'. It spans several centuries of terraforming and conflicts between the human settlers and the Martians.
