A Mother’s Touch, a new book by Waldo Theus, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Where would we be without our mothers, the loving women who not only gave us life, but who took care of us as babies? Our mothers were unknown during our birth and childhood, challenged during our teenage years, and as the years passed we miss her dearly now that she has left this world to be with our loved ones and God.

In A Mother’s Touch, Waldo Theus talks about a son and family that not only showed love and respect to their mother while she lived, but honored her every wish during her illness and death. The letters in Theus’ book are written to his sister, mother, father, wife, and friends. These letters talk about their mother’s love and sacrifices for her family. His mother’s touch allowed him to say to her family and loved ones what she wanted to say before she left.

After accepting his current position as a building engineer, he met Tina Jenkins, the wife God and his mother wanted him to share his life with.

Goldmine Magazine’s website has posted an interview that opens with author, journalist, and pop-culture historian Harvey Kubernik asking Hollywood multi-hyphenate Travis Edward Pike about a question from a youtube visitor who asked if Travis is the European Rock Star who used to live in a haunted house near the lake, in Newton Centre.

“To be fair,” Pike replied,” my father’s house on Lake Avenue in Newton Centre, Massachusetts was reputed to be haunted. As for me being a European rock star, that’s not really as far-fetched as it sounds. Although I’m an American, born in Boston, my first shot at rock “stardom” came while I was stationed in Germany, where I was billed as Teddy Pike, Twist and Show Sensation. So, being discovered in Europe, if I was a rock star, I was, geographically, a European rock star, long before I ever approached anything like that status stateside.”

That’s typical of the easy rapport Kubernik and Pike enjoy, as they discuss the State Records (UK) 45 rpm vinyl release of “Watch Out Woman,” one of Pike’s songs from his father’s 1966 theatrical release of FEELIN’ GOOD, a movie made and premiered in Boston, that may bring to fruition, Travis’ 50-year-plan to become an overnight sensation.

They touch on the Alma Records 1968, 45 rpm single by Travis Pike’s Tea Party of “If I Didn’t Love You Girl” scheduled for a UK reissue this year, then go into some detail about the environmental issues, arcane sources and spells explored in Pike’s 2017 publication of his screenplay, CHANGELING’S RETURN and his MYSTICAL ENCOUNTER CD of songs he composed for that, as yet unrealized, musical film production.

The interview concludes by introducing Pike’s GRUMPUSS 20TH ANNIVERSARY PLATINUM EDITION DVD of his live, bardic performance of his award-winning, critically-acclaimed, original epic narrative rhyme in a world premiere charity gala for the UK Save the Children Fund at Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, and home to the Dukes of Marlborough.

Goldmine Magazine’s website also provides a link to Goldmine publisher Pat Prince’s November 2017 live audio interview with Pike – all together providing an excellent introduction to the works of Travis Edward Pike, the creative force behind Otherworld Cottage Industries.
