Krista Markowitz

Artist and spiritual “journeyist” Krista Markowitz sheds light on an unknown world in her first seen and heard book for children, Mrs. Tipperwillow’s Afterlife Adventures. “Children are naturally curious about death and what lies beyond, especially when a beloved friend or family member is critically ill or has died. These three connected stories paint a joyful and fascinating picture of the spirit world through the experiences of six children with their compassionate and funny guide, Daisy Tipperwillow.”

Over thirty years have passed since the sudden blast of universal understanding changed everything. People worldwide have dropped the money standard to join in living and learning Pods where food and energy are locally grown, resources are shared, and creativity is celebrated. And the higher capabilities including telepathy and teleportation are gradually becoming the norm. Share the adventures of ten-year-old Jeori Kellogg as his life gradually intertwines with his telepathic and outgoing neighbor, Kayla, and teenagers Cleo and Kadrun. It is to the loner Kadrun-dubbed Mr. Black by his pod mates-that the forces of darkness first come, threatening his life and sanity. As threads of fear from ages past begin to insidiously spread throughout the world, it is Kad who holds the key to Earth's future. "2065 In the Beginning" is a playful immersion into a possible future with a glance behind to the world we now inhabit.
