Firestick Farmer
Firestick Farmer is a contemporary Australian novel exploring themes of love, resistance, political violence, and despair.

The Complete Chronicles of Lupa
From the Chronicles of Lupa is a two-volume visionary epic about the Sisterhood of Lupa — women sworn since Eden to uphold the light and execute judgment upon the wicked. Into their world comes Jesse James, a man of vast goodness and love whose bond with Ruby Tuesday draws him toward both death and redemption. At once apocalyptic and tender, the work blends scripture, legend, and love story in a mythic tapestry of light and darkness.

The Majesty of Judas
The Majesty of Judas reimagines Judas Iscariot not as traitor but as an unlikely hero, the most slandered son of history. Told through the eyes of Lily, a fellow escaped slave, the novel presents Judas as a Nazirite whose strength comes from sacred vows. In a pivotal moment, Lily shears his hair — not to betray him but to prepare him for surrender — transforming the kiss of betrayal into an act of deep intimacy and sacrifice.

Selah! Loving the Psalms
Selah! Loving the Psalms re-voices fifty psalms of the Hebrew Bible as meditations on human love, intimacy, and longing. By transposing devotional language toward God into the language of human relationship, the book creates a scripture of empathy, tenderness, and emotional candour — a new way of reading the Psalms as love-poetry for our time.

My Name is Sheol
My Name is Sheol explores the ontology of suffering, pain, and redemption through a fragmented, lyrical narrative. Told primarily through the voice of Che, the work blends autobiographical intensity with mythic resonance, meditating on grief, suicide, spiritual struggle, and the possibility of transcendence. Volume II continues and deepens this vision.

About the Author
P. Julian is an Australian writer whose works bend scripture, legend and contemporary experience into a new form of narrative knows as New Scripture.
His books explore themes of love, suffering, sacrifice and redemption in a recovered style known as Hypnogogic (Hyp) Prose. In these lyrical, intense and scripture-like cadences he renders visionary epics such as From the Chronicles of Lupa and The Majesty of Judas. His work also encompasses the intimate devotion of Selah! Loving the Psalms and the politically charged Firestick Farmer.
P. Julian's work forms a uniquely ambitious and uniquely rendered body of narrative which unites emotional depth with mythic resonance.
