Welcome to the start of something new on my YouTube channel!
☆*·゜ﾟ·*\(^O^)/*·゜ﾟ·*☆
Way back in 1994, I started writing a sci-fi series that would become, “The Kesher Chronicles.” About 20 years later I finally released book 1 and (a year after that) book 2 to the public.
I’m super proud of all this “Kesher-verse” has become and what it’s evolving into; there will be audiobooks on the horizon, but until then, I want to give those of you who love audiobooks something to chew on while we wait. 🙂
So, I hope you enjoy these installments of live reading from The Kesher Chronicles – complete with a bit of background music, sound effects, and accompanying pictures!!

As you may or may not know, I began publishing my sci-fi saga “The Kesher Chronicles” Dec 2015. What you may not be aware of is what a huge, bold step personally it was for me.
I always loved writing stories as a kid — I was especially into the mysteries of Nancy Drew, Agatha Christie, and The Three Investigators. In my teens I read Michael Crichton’s stories voraciously. I actually won a regional prize for a 7-page sci-fi story I wrote in elementary school; it was typed on a typewriter (!) and was called, “Journey to the Edge of the Universe”… or something like that. Not long after, I created my own version of a Nancy Drew mystery. Sort of a young “fan-fic” if you will; handwritten, too. 😉
When I hit 12 years of age, I found myself so in love with creating stories and worlds and characters that I wrote my first mystery story. It was definitely a knock-off of the Nancy Drew stories I grew up with, but with my own dramatic spin. I don’t recall how many words or pages it wound up being, but it was at least 10 (short-ish) chapters — definitely my most “serious” work up to that point. I enjoyed the process so much, I wrote a second mystery story, based on the lives of those same young characters.
Then, in 1994, inspiration struck, and I dreamed or somehow envisioned the opening chapter of what is now “Pursuit of Truth (The Kesher Chronicles #1).” That haunting scene stuck with me throughout the days following, and I rapidly built an adventure-mystery around it. Once I completed that first book, I knew there had to be a sequel.
And as I worked on the second book, I knew there was more to tell. I envisioned for a long time that Janice’s story would be a trilogy…. But now, as I’ve matured and really seen the vastness of this fictional Universe, I realize there will likely be at least couple more book in the series. All the more fun!! 🙂
But, thinking back on just the past 2 or 3 years, I realize how close I came to completely giving up on my dreams of seeing this massive story become a reality, and it makes me shudder.
The second installment of the epic “Kesher Chronicles” is now Available, in both Kindle eBook and paperback formats! Pick up your copy today & enjoy! (*^＠^*)
Twenty-three years after surviving the Scandal of 2241, Janice Parc lives out her adulthood in pleasant normalcy with her husband and three children. The family gets the chance to visit the village of Hiskitan in northernmost Artemisia. Janice knows she must face her memories with courage if her heart is to move on. So she agrees to the journey for the sake of her family and for her own growth.
Unfortunately, the depth of the Artemisians’ pain is too great to ignore. The last living relative of Agent David Rifadoft will not allow her suffering, nor that of her people, to go unanswered. By her guidance, the adventure that began with such hope will escalate into a cycle of tragedy. In the effort to rescue Janice and her family, Special Officer Steven Roberts abandons his post at the Experimental Colony on Ares. He returns to Earth, and the darker truths behind their past begin to unfold.
At long last, today is the official day of release for the Definitive Edition of The Kesher Chronicles #1: Pursuit of Truth!
It’s been a huge opportunity of personal growth for me to keep up with this humble saga of mine for so long, battling my own demons, so to speak… And now, with this exciting release, I am finally prepared to go all the way with the rest of the saga! I aim to release The Kesher Chronicles #2, Questions of Love by mid-August 2016…
By the way, included in this release of Kesher #1 is a sneak peak of Kesher #2: the whole opening chapter from Questions of Love!

Recently, I had the IMMENSE honor and pleasure of traveling out to Phoenix, AZ to play as guest fiddler for a show with the band Mrs. Lincoln.
The whole trip was just way-too-much-stinkin’-fun! And the show was awesome, to say the least! A wonderfully talented group of musicians and crazy-fun people to work with and hang out with! 
I am incredibly honored to be an honorary member of the band, and I can’t wait to play with them again real soon.
Here are a couple great examples of our jamming together in rehearsal, on the song “Caleb Meyer”…

Another fun adventure I got to have on my day-time-off before rehearsal with the band, was my chance to visit the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix. I LOVED it! So much fun! I spent about five hours in there, and was able to see everything! I’ve compiled a host of photographs for you to enjoy, just to give you a taste of the experience….
Guess what I’m doing today, hm?…
