Books
Idol Time author Ken Giese, under the pen name Ken Burke, writes novels. He is currrently editing his first novel titled "Sheol," which is scheduled for on-line publication here. It is a trilogy that starts with "The House" chapters, which tells a ghost story based on actual events that occurred, the weirdest of which was that three people who never met each other had the exact same dream while sleeping in the same room. "The Letters" chapters tell a love story about star-crossed college students caught in a wartime triangle, and "The Sins" chapters explains how the lovers became the ghosts. Ken has two more novels on the drafting board - 'Atoll' based on his real-life experiences with the supernatural while living on a remote tropical island, and 'Photograph' about a French family in Paris during the Nazi occupation. He is also working on his autobiography titled "Front Row Seat' chronicalling his first hand experiences with some of the most significant historical events in the past 70 years.

Plays
Ken and other Idol Time Artists have, and are writing plays. Ken is writing a rock opera about the Kennedy Assassination. The play features Idol Time original songs that will be sung in the play by key assassination characters, with lyrics adapted to reflect their feelings on that fateful day. The play will feature now-iconic images including videos like the Zapruder film.
Ken's brother Kerry Giese wrote several plays including a musical variety show called "The Cheek to Cheek Review" that was performed at an equity theater, "Dear Emma" about the life of Mormon church founder Joseph Smith, and "Margarittaville" based on the songs of Jimmy Buffet. |
