Still Chosen: Another Unwanted Adventure
You’re still The Chosen One. If someone needs to face the new evil in the world, you’re it.
When Phoebe was sixteen, she died to save the world. Not ideal, but it was the only way to destroy the power-mad wizard who was ripping a hole in the universe. Besides, she came back to life, so it all worked out, right? Twenty years later, Phoebe is queen of the realm and while the kingdom is finally at peace, the routine of life has grown dull – until the divine messenger from her youth reappears with evidence of the dead wizard’s return and demands Phoebe stop him once again.
Phoebe has no interest in another harrowing adventure since her personal life fell apart after the last one: her old friends haven’t spoken to her in years, the “love of her life” is long gone, and she hasn’t performed real magic in nearly a decade. But she knows if the wizard turns out to be alive it will be her fault for failing. Oh, and he’ll try to tear apart the universe again. Whatever the evil is, Phoebe needs to get strong enough to stop it from destroying everything she loves, because she’s the only one who can.
It turns out, once you’re The Chosen One, you’re always The Chosen One – and destiny is forever.

This holiday season, Menomonie Theater Guild invites audiences to experience the timeless charm and heartwarming magic of Irving Berlin’s White Christmas: The Musical. Opening on December 5th and running through December 14th at the Mabel Tainter Theater, this beloved stage adaptation brings the silver screen classic to dazzling life.
Based on the beloved 1954 film, White Christmas tells the story of two World War II veterans who become a successful song-and-dance team. When they discover that their former commanding officer’s Vermont inn is struggling, they team up with a talented sister act to put on a show that just might save the business. Packed with spectacular dance numbers, stunning costumes, and some of the most memorable songs ever written — including “Blue Skies,” “Sisters,” and the iconic “White Christmas” — this musical is a joyous celebration of love, friendship, and the spirit of the season.
Directed by RuthAnn Ledgerwood and Dominique Stewart, with choreography by Alex Hall, White Christmas promises a festive theatrical experience perfect for the whole family.

The books:
The Alt-Telomere Timeline
The Telomere Paradox: Set in an alternate reality where the fission bomb did not work, Dr Adrian Hale is contacted by a researcher in the USSR, claiming to have the secret to immortality. He soon finds that the researcher has other, less noble goals in mind.
The Telomere Lab Theater: Continuing the story of the reality where the fission bomb failed, Japan has found itself being pulled apart by rival occupiers, as well as being under siege of self-serving plunderers. Will any hope of a future be sacrificed for short term financial gain?
Caroline and the Telomere Factory: We met Caroline Nakamura briefly in the Telomere Paradox, but who is she, and was her role in the story just background information? it would appear that her involvement was deeper than that as her name is in the title. She definitely can be described as ‘more than meets the eye’.
