Journey to the West: I Have a Little Goblin's Scavenger Bag

My new book, The Old Six's General Store: Chancellor, Want a Spicy Strip?, is out now. Search for it on my author page.

When Bajie and Sha Seng, Journey to the West's two notoriously useless teammates, fight monsters, which one is the bigger liability? How does Taishang Laojun's socially savvy Azure Bull charm everyone and maximize his gains? Why does Kui Mulang, one of Heaven's top-ranking middle officials, tremble at the mere mention of roast suckling pig? This is a comedic, workplace-themed Journey to the West novella that showcases all kinds of people in the working world. Through the male protagonist, it explores the workplace philosophies of the pilgrimage group and the minor demons they encounter along the way. The author has completed over a million words of writing.

Synopsis: In Journey to the West, demons with powerful backers are often spared after Tang Sanzang's group defeats them. But how can minor demons with no immortal connections change their miserable fates? From the start, the male protagonist is sent flying by Sun Wukong's “Divine Needle of the Rear,” landing on the Ginseng Fruit Tree at Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi's home. As he retraces the pilgrimage route, how will he send the sexy White Bone Spirit to give the prehistoric gods foot massages and build connections? How will he befriend Taibai Jinxing and pass information to Tang Sanzang's party? How will he use a small detail to help the minor demons grasp the pecking-order philosophy of the Leopard King of South Mountain and his underlings? How will he persuade the Centipede Immortal to join the adorable “Marshal Tianpeng,” a pet with the bloodline of a demon emperor descended from the Tongtian Cult Leader of the Jie Sect, in ambushing their foes? And how will he coordinate the Three Immortals of Chechi Kingdom's tiger, deer, and goat spirits to take on the three great demons of Lion Camel Ridge, allowing Tang Sanzang's team to lie flat and still complete the journey? The answers are in the scavenger's bag bestowed by Ancestor Hongjun, hanging at the waist of Sun Xiaohuang, who is right now scooping feed to the pigs...
