YOUNGER BRO GEOFFREY OWENS HAS PUBLISHED BOOK #1,
' TWAS HALLOWEEN NIGHT
NOW AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE!
This is a Halloween story (in rhyming verse) in which a seven-year-old bi-racial girl goes on an exciting adventure and discovers the value of sharing and friendship.
Parents/guardians/teachers can read it to kids as young as four or five. And older kids (6 - 11) can enjoy reading it by themselves. “With sweet artwork and a moral point about sharing, ‘Twas Halloween Night’ is a seasonal book that children will want to read all year round.”
-- Steven Leslie Johnson, Minister
“’Twas Halloween Night’ is likely to become part of the annual tradition of many families, and a marvelous gift to share with young readers who will enjoy it year after year.”
-- Kimberley Cetron, Ph.D. Educator
“Brilliantly written, it juxtaposes the darkness of Halloween against the light of friendship, acceptance and kindness.”
-- Joy Gregory, M.Ed.
“The rhymes are clever… But more importantly, the main character, Jorlyn, learns to empathize with others, making the night more than just about the pursuit of candy.”
-- Bradley Detrick, Teleios Journal
Keep a lookout for Geoffrey on this new CBS sitcom!

Greetings!
I am an "artivist". That means that, for me, there is no separation between the social justice issues I write songs about and the real politics that impact on those issues.
We cannot pretend that the upcoming National election on Tuesday, November 5th is not sobering. But we can make it liberating -- at least from Donald Trump as a Presidential candidate.
I support the Democratic nominee for President of the United States, Vice President Kamala Harris, and I urge you to cast your vote for her as well.
And, as important, are our votes for Democratic U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representative candidates. We all have our specific issues and concerns, but this election is about keeping our nation moving in a progressive direction, regardless of the fits and stumbles. We cannot do that with the forces of regression controlling the levers of power.
As a certain elegant and powerful individual preached, we can each "DO SOMETHING" to protect our rights and protect the core spirit of our nation.
If you can afford to donate, please do. If you can write postcards, please do. If you can make phone calls, please do. if you can go door-to-door somewhere, please do. We can all do something!
The struggle continues! “It won’t stop ‘til the people get started!“ (A quote from my friend, Lindsey Wilson!)
Peace and love always!
Chris
This is a great pre-election song for everyone!
