Born in New York City, Joe taught in New York, Hawaii, and Michigan. In Hawaii, he started writing and by the age of 25 he published his first manuscript. He later moved to Michigan and then to Wisconsin, where he developed a tumor which began to give him delusions. His delusions led him to construct a giant labyrinth on a tropical island. He also had an obsession with looking for a message he believed he had left for himself in a past life, in the form of a poem, song, or story. He went insane with paranoia and believed the karma police were coming to take him away. He also became obsessed with cheating death, practicing a religion called Voodoo Botany, believing it would make him a god. On a late night talk show, he made a prophecy about the extinction of the human race. He was sent to rest at Fennimore Place Institute. The maze was never finished. He died broke and penniless. What most books won't tell you about the life of Joe Kaye, The False Prophet of Fennimore Place, is that before he thought he might be the reincarnation of Mark Twain, and after he thought he was the reincarnation of Jim Morrison, he thought he might have been a very strange science fiction writer named Philip K. Dick. During the time Joe Kaye believed he might have been Philip K. Dick, he wrote a novel called Blind Savior, in which he not only attempted to blend all major religions (Hindu/Jewish/Buddhist/Christian/Muslim/Taoist) into one, but also attempted to say all major religions were started by the same person reincarnated again and again. He buried the story in an unknown location. The world was not ready.

New novel offers intriguing reincarnation story about how Taoism, Buddhism,
Judaism, Hinduism, Islam, and Christianity were created by the same being.
KAPOLEI, Hawaii - In a science fiction thriller that exposes the unity in all
religions, author Joseph DeMarco describes the plight of a homeless man named
Felix King, who believes himself to be the reincarnation of the founder of all
major world religions. The author also details his strange inspiration for the
story through a pseudonym named Joe Kaye in Blind Savior, False Prophet (now
available through AuthorHouse).
Separated into two stories, Chasing the Ghost
and Blind Savior, DeMarcos novel paints a not-too-distant future, in which all
religions are one and the evolution of spirituality is occurring right under our
noses. The first story details a drugged-out ex-student of Joe Kayes (Siann),
who is searching for Kayes lost novel. Through notes scribed in a faded green
notebook she stole from him many years ago, Siann learns of a manu that was
supposedly buried on a small Caribbean Island. Siann eventually finds the lost
manu (which is presented as the second story: Blind Savior) about a Dharma Bum
named Felix King. Felixs belief about his past lives spurs from a series of
dreams, in which he is Lao Tzu, the famous Chinese philosopher and author of the
Tao, Siddhartha Gautama (the Buddha) and Mohammed the last prophet of Islam.
The main undercurrent that unfolds in both stories is the next evolution of
spirituality, which, according to both the fictitious author Joe Kaye and the
real author Joseph DeMarco, began with the Beatles and the hippy movement in the
1960s and will not finish for close to two thousand years.
