Santa: An Interview Blitz

Holiday, Children’s, Family

Date Published: October 1st, 2020

Santa: An Interview covers the tales of questions asked to and answered by
Santa Claus one winter evening. In a remote northern village close to the
North Pole, in a rare occasion during the holiday season Santa decided to
take a break from Operation Christmas! He invited local kids and adults from
all ages and backgrounds to the Fairbanks Public Library.

Santa had lovingly provided hot cocoa, snacks, blankets, pillows and a warm
magical glowing fire for all in attendance. Tonight was for Santa and the
families that came to share stories and ask him their questions. We’re
lucky that one of the parents was a journalist for the local Fairbanks
Gazette Newspaper, and by trade, always had a notebook in his back pocket.
Thanks to this writer, Raymond “Ray” James, we can relive the
stories and tales told that rare winter night for countless families to
enjoy this holiday season.

You’ll read along as the pages of Ray’s notebook recount the
stories and answers witnessed that one magical evening!

About the Author

In my previous aspirations, I’ve been a Luxury Celebrity Chef,
Designer, Division 1 Swimmer, Musician, Artist, Event Planner, Philosopher,
Author and CEO of Hurn Publications

I love loose leaf teas, I collect teacups and coffee cups, and strangely I
love big soup spoons. In contrast to the big beautiful weddings I’ve
designed and coordinated, my tastes run fairly simple. I watch tons of
documentaries, generally anything to do with oceanography, marine biology or
military history. I’m also a sucker for terrible jokes and puns.
Typically, I’m reading, writing or playing music if I’m not
working.

I’m also not a fan of small talk. I like to jump into the middle of a
conversation and get the heart of a topic. So, feel free to reach out and
start a conversation.

Wasting Time Blitz

Book 2 in the Physics, Lust and Greed Series

Science Fiction

Date Published: October 1, 2020

When time travelers fail test after test to significantly alter the past,
most financial backers abandon the Global Research Consortium leaving
veteran traveler Marta Hamilton to administer a vastly scaled-down project.
She must protect the past from a greedy future, fend off political meddling,
and foil a murder plot originating in a parallel universe. She presides over
a conspiracy to hide the truth of her best friend’s death while coping
with a confusing and discomforting romantic entanglement involving fellow
traveler Marshall Grissom.

Marta, who has by professional necessity always distanced herself from
emotional commitment, lapsed by allowing herself the luxury of friendship
with Sheila Schuler and a night of wild sex with Marshall. Now, Sheila is
probably dead, and—according to a genius physicists’
theory—Marshall soon will be. As she assumes her role as administrator
of the time travel program, Marta must choose between the risks of loving
someone, or the lonely safety of emotional solitude.

(No cats were harmed in the telling of this story.)

Life in Increments Tour

High Middle-Grade/YA

Published Date: 9-22-20

Publisher: INtense Publications LLC

Meet Philihp. He’s in middle school, and he’s in love with
Auburn Brown. He doesn’t know how to talk to anyone about it, not even
his cousin Graham, with whom he shares movie quotes and other obsessions.
But no matter. Philip comes to know, as certainly as anyone can know
anything, that destiny, fate, cosmic powers, the universe–they’ll
bring him and Auburn together in the end. All he has to do is pay attention
to life’s patterns, to live his life in manageable, predictable,
proper increments, and the world will reward him.

Meet Auburn. She’s a talented soccer player, a loving sister and
daughter. She has very little idea Philihp exists. She’s busy
adjusting to a new school, worrying about her brother, and trying to figure
out who she’s supposed to be when everything she ever knew feels
uncertain

This is a love story. A true love story, in the ways that truth and love
matter most. There are loving families here. Loving friends. Philihp and
Auburn live in the same great big scary beautiful world you do. A world that
may or may not be predictable or fair but is full of love if you look and
listen for it. When all is said and done, this just might be a story about
romantic love, too. You’ll have to read to find out.

About the Author

Judith Keim enjoyed her childhood and young-adult years in Elmira, New
York, and now makes her home in Boise, Idaho, with her husband and their two
dachshunds, Winston and Wally, and other members of her family.

While growing up, she was drawn to the idea of writing stories from a young
age. Books were always present, being read, ready to go back to the library,
or about to be discovered. All in her family shared information from the
books in general conversation, giving them a wealth of knowledge and vivid
imaginations.

A hybrid author who both has a publisher and self-publishes, Ms. Keim
writes heart-warming novels about women who face unexpected challenges, meet
them with strength, and find love and happiness along the way. Her
best-selling books are based, in part, on many of the places she’s lived or
visited and on the interesting people she’s met, creating believable
characters and realistic settings her many loyal readers love. Ms. Keim
loves to hear from her readers and appreciates their enthusiasm for her
stories.
