Comox Valley author, songwriter and playwright James Allan Krause has been recognized for his recently published audiobook, Wetion which is a labour of love that took two decades to come to fruition. In December, Krause received nine awards for various categories from Outstanding Creator Book Awards. He received first place prize for Historical, second place finishes for Science Fiction and for Education and Reference Books. A third place honour for the Audiobooks category, five honorable mentions for Best Research, Best World Building, Best Character, Best Narrated and Best Quote/ Best Passage. Wetion is the first in a trilogy which takes listeners back to the time of Adam and Eve. From there, the story moves forward, capturing the lore and defining moments of 2,000 generations since and actual history it connects to. Heavily influenced by Greek philosophers and other masters asking fundamental questions, these stories connect the legends explaining our existence, passions, relationships with each other and the environment. Wetion’s design is similar to the remaining two of the trilogy. Each book offers stories connected to a full play and original music, with multimedia features. Krause is a Comox Valley author and producer and is a third generation writer. He has written six books, including two volumes of The Life and Times of the Comox Valley. His books can be found locally at Laughing Oyster Bookshop, Blue Heron Books and Compass Gallery and Gifts.
