Traveling to all parts of the world, talking with people who are living, working and playing in new ways that are changing the world, one person at a time. I have been interviewing for over 30 years, talking with thousands of; authors, musicians, light workers, metaphysicians, spiritualists, co-creators, body, mind and light workers, new thought people, visionaries, revolutionaries, inovators. We all have a story and mine is no greater or lesser than yours. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona. I was legally blind from birth. In spite or because of that, I went through 13 years of school not knowing what I wanted to do and so I went to Communtiy College and worked in the AV Department. I found out about a job with 'Sun Sounds' Radio Reading Service, for the blind and visually impaired. I not only became a client, I started working there August 29, 1979 and never “looked” back. On March 6, 1996, I received a lens implant and went from 20/200 or worse to 20/80 overnight. Within just a few months, I was learning to drive a car. A dream I had given up in acceptance of the way I was, legally blind. And that was 'ok'. Bicycling was just fine for me. Then my marriage of 15 years came to an end and I met Amrita Ma. We married and moved to her home town of Santa Barbara and we both started a new life 5 minutes for her childhood home. We've been to Ireland twice and dream of living there one day very soon. I dreamed I would drive, travel to far away places, share the love with someone with a very open, loving heart, live by the sea, have my own radio show, teach others my craft, meet new and exciting souls. I am working on 2 books and more. What are your dreams?........ I will share more thoughts later.

What if the most chilling dystopia isn’timagined—but already in motion? InAshes of the Republic, author James Chesterton delivers a razor-edgedpolitical thriller set in a near-future America where surveillance, AI governance, and the fusion ofchurch and state have quietlyredrawn the boundaries of personal freedom. With eerie parallelsto some of today’s headlines, this fast-paced futuristic story is atimely and provocative pick for coverage and author interviews. Pleaserefer to the press release below for additional information, and let meknow if you would like to receive a copy of Ashes of the Republicfor interview and/or review purposes. FORIMMEDIATE RELEASE Ashes OfThe Republic: New Political Thriller Imagines an America Shaped ByTheocratic Power “A sharp,timely examination of power, corruption, and control in a worldlulled into complacency.” — Kirkus Reviews WESTPORT, Conn.,April 1, 2026 — In James Chesterton’s dark and thrillingfuturistic satire, Ashes of the Republic (Broken Ledger Press;April 28, 2026), it’s the year 2046, and Christian Nationalismhas fully consolidated power. Evidence of liberalism is subject topunishment, women’s bodies are governed by data, medical professionals have been replaced with AI, andthe blueprint for authoritarian rule is no longertheoretical—it’s fully operational. At thecenter of the story is Lily Osbourne, a gifted technologist who once helpedbuild the very systems that now govern daily life. After crossingher employer, Dennison Robotics CEO Iwanna Dennison, Lily is cast out ofpower and retreats into quiet anonymity. That fragile invisibility shatters during a routine airportscreening when a TSA agentinforms her that she is pregnant, which is strictly controlled by thegovernment. In the Republic, all unregistered pregnancies are flagged.Her fetus is issued a Social Security number. The state is notified.Her body is no longer her own. She and her boyfriend, Jeff Maslow, aformer professor once arrested for reading Walt Whitman, must nowfind a way to survive, even as Iwanna Dennison claws her way to thehighest reaches of power, the focus of her psychotic ambition. Deeplyrooted in current events, Ashes of the Republic draws from real-worlddebates surrounding reproductive surveillance, the fusion of religionand state power, the erosion of privacy, and the expanding role ofdata and AI in governance. Policies and ideas that felt speculativeduring the novel’s early drafts have since emerged as courtrulings, legislative proposals, and political platforms, Chestertonexplains. “This isnot distant dystopia or traditional science fiction. Nearly everymechanism of controldepicted in the novel already exists today, waiting only for the removalof institutional limits to be fully realized,” Chestertonsaid, enumerating these plot points: · TheUnited States is now a theocratic surveillance state. · Electionsare performative. · Dissentis being criminalized. · Women’sbodies are regulated by data systems backed by religious authorityand unchallenged executive power. · Freedomis being bureaucratized out of existence. “This isn’tyour parents’ sci-fi,” he added. “Its tone is controlled,unsentimental, and wickedly funny—a fast-paced thrill ride fullof twists and turns.” Ashes ofthe Republic is the first installment in the Ascent of Dennisonseries of gripping political thrillers that asks what happens when legal,cultural, and moral guardrails are deliberately dismantled by leaderswho believe themselves divinely justified and technologically unaccountable.
