PARALLEL PORTAL

Copyright 2026 by Jonathan Zap

For JS & JS

Link, May 9, 2018 to October 18, 2026

This free online version of the book is dedicated to Link, a beloved Teddy Bear Golden Doodle who crossed the event horizon on 10.18.26, the same day this, the first version of Parallel Portal, was published.

Cover Design (still unfinished) by Jonathan Zap, with digital image manipulation by Tanner Dery, Michael Levy, Jonathan Zap, and Abby Heller-Burnham. Abby made minute digital adjustments to Tommy’s face and did a fine art painting of Tommy, which influenced the final digital image. Note: This is not an “AI Cover.” The conception was the author’s, and several talented people contributed using analog, digital, and AI tools.

Original 8″ by 8″ Oil Painting by Abby Heller-Burnham

Rune design by Jonathan Zap, Max “After” Rune by Justin Sedelmayer
