Author Spotlight Wendy & Charles Siefken


It's Wow Wednesday! Visiting the desk today is the writing duo, Wendy and Charles Siefken. The Siefkens are a mother and son writing team. How great is that? They've authored, Kai’s Journey: The New World Chronicles. Kai's Journey is part of their Young Adult (YA) Kai and Clover Series. Can teenagers really save the world? Read Kai's Journey today to find out.

An awful mistake, an unlikely companion, 
Kai’s Journey to save the human race.


After his father accidentally releases a killer virus into the world, Kai is left alone to battle the creatures the virus created. While fighting for his existence in the barren post-apocalyptic world, Kai runs into an unlikely ally in a young woman named Clover.


Fueled by a flicker of hope, the two teenagers join forces with a rag-tag band of survivors in a heroic journey. Can the human race endure?


Here's what readers are saying about Kai's Journey:

"Most stories about zombies and other creatures are not usually as touching as this. There is a love story in this book that is so sweet. I was really swept up in the moment and enjoyed the suspenseful ride that this unusual story took me on." ~Brenda Perlin

"It was wonderful to see him find himself as he navigated through the horrible consequences of experimentation gone wrong. The authors of the story weave a wonderful tale of fantasy and imagination with a flare for real world application." ~Tamy

"Not only did I enjoy this book, my teenage daughter fell in love with it and Kai.I highly recommend it." ~Dawn

"The story is one of survival but also zest for life. Still finding happiness through the most difficult of times." ~Bruce Goldwell, Author

and so much more!

Wendy Siefken (1966-Present)Currently working full time from home on writing stories and now a virtual assistant to those in need of an extra pair of hands online. Wendy lives on a farm with her family and enjoys reading, gardening and other activities with her family and friends. This is our first publication with many more to follow. This all started as a school project for her youngest son and business partner, Charles Siefken, that has grown into a desire to be published.


Charles Siefken (1992-present) is a recent graduate of high school. This is his first book of many to be published. He currently resides in rural central Iowa where he enjoys reading sci/fi books and playing video games among other things. We have found a publisher, Master Koda Select Publishing! Christopher Paolini was his inspiration to become a writer.

Wendy & Charlie Siefken Visit Nadia's Desk


I'd like to welcome Wendy and Charles Siefken to the desk today. They are the mother and son writing team behind Kai's Journey. Kai's Journey has been polished and is being rereleased by Master Koda Select Publishing after its original run as an indie book.

Exciting things are happening with the Siefkens including a great online release party at Facebook. Come over and join the fun with the Wendy, Charlie, friends, readers and the Master Koda Team at Kai's Journey book launch party. 




Kai's Journey is the story of a young man who lives in an apocalyptic world that his father created by accident. Faced with zombies and werewolves, how will he handle this world - seven years of adventure and lessons.



You can purchase the book at Amazon, here.









Now, lets hear what Wendy and Charlie have to say.

~~~

Charlie will be attending college this fall for auto mechanics. He loves to read and create stories. He works full time at a local auto shop now. Charlie’s inspiration to become a writer and who got him hooked on reading books is Christopher Paolini who also started his writing career while in high school as well. 

Wendy is a wife, mother and also works as a tier one tech at a local call center. She has always loved to read books and when her children were small she loved to tell them stories she would make up with the kids being the main characters. Together Charlie and Wendy create worlds and people who live in them. 


Our journey started as a school project back in 2009. Charlie was given the task of writing, editing, and publishing a book. He was always writing stories and the teachers had a difficult time getting him to do his homework or doing the writing topics they wanted him to write on. Since then we have tried our hand at finding an agent with the big publishing companies before going the indie route. We had found someone to help us edit the book but they didn't quite have the same vision for the story as we did.

We had also found someone to help us create a book cover but again, they didn't quite see it as we did. Since we have joined with MasterKoda Select Publishing we have had wonderful help with editing the book to make it the best story possible with characters that will stay with you long after you finish the book.

Dan Peyton who is a very talented author is also a gifted artist who helped us by drawing the characters Kai and Clover for the cover. His amazing talents and beautiful work can be seen on the cover along with Rebbekah White's background that helps bring the story to life. Together these two wonderful people have created a beautiful work of art that we are proud to display for our book cover. 

So please join us on May 31st for fun, games and prizes!
