July Updates - Science Rules!

by John Bachkosky (7/18/22)

Summer is in full swing, and so are the projects!

As of July 1st - with a small panic-edit because I left a section out on accident - Land of the Elements is officially in the beta reading stage! A group of trusted friends are going through what I have written and will let me know by early fall what problems I have left to iron out.

To my beta readers, thank you times a thousand for taking the time to read my book (especially those who were part of the alpha read as well)!

As I set aside Land of the Elements for now and await feedback, it’s time to gear up for another round of Bards shows! The Bards have been hard at work this summer learning new covers, arranging acoustic versions of originals we haven’t played live yet, and incorporating new instruments into the line-up! We can’t wait to show you all what we have been working on.

Short update this month, but lots going on! I’ll be back in August to share updates about The Bards! Hope to see you at a show soon (check the tab labeled “The Bards” for all of our dates/times/locations)!

Oh! One other thing! This past week, NASA debuted some stunning images from the newly operational James Webb Space Telescope. I am quite the space nerd, so to say I was in awe of the pictures is an understatement - they are beautiful in every way, and their grandeur cannot be overstated. The pictures include galaxies dancing around one another, a star giving its final performance as it explodes into a stunning array of colors, and a stellar nursery nestled underneath gigantic stars.

P.S. - Read Victoria Schwab’s Shades of Magic series. It’s got dynamic characters, a brilliantly built and fascinating world, and a thriller of a plot to tie it all together. It’s built to be a series on HBO or something. Seriously.
