Remains - Hardcover

Jensen, Sky: - Sky Jensen is a name that some may recognize from music scenes across the Southeastern United States. Having graced stages as a singer, songwriter, guitar player, DJ, and other forms of entertainment since 1993, some know him as a solo musician, some as the front-person for Part-Time Weekends, Swamp Dog, Brackish Sound, Nuclear Saturday, Lee Rd., and more. Others may recognize him from raves across the U.S., as KYSĀ, one of the Drum 'n Bass DJ's for The Magic City Junglists and founder of Link Productions. He has collaborated with some of the finest musicians, producers, artists, entertainers, and writers in Atlanta.Sky began writing early, loving poetry and the idea of writing professionally. Fortunately, the realization that he is "just not that good" of a poet befell him before attempting to publish anything significant. His songwriting became the avenue to express that passion. Sky is a personal and professional coach, also working to publish his methods of growth and transformation.In the world of Literature, his first encounter was one of inspiration, passion and flow (see "previously published and long lost works by Sky Jensen: "Using The Force" ca. 1999), with the story and development of "Remains" overtaking his mind and life over the course of 12 weeks in 2023. He did not choose the story, nor could he stop it from materializing. Most of the 120,000 word manuscript was written on an iPhone, throughout his days and nights, any time the next portion manifested. The process was disturbing... He found a way to conceal his personal agenda into a work of fiction: First as a personal project, now available to the world, at the request of his most trusted constituents. Personally, he is a middle-aged father and husband, working to provide for his family and wrestling with many of the same concepts touched in "Remains" (but he won't tell you which ones). His professional life also provides a vast pool of experiences from which to resource information. He is a recovering addict and alcoholic, and is not afraid to leverage knowledge both from his time as a substance user and since beginning his journey of recovery. He is a former public schoolteacher, was raised by schoolteachers, has worked extensively in hospitality, and is presently a business professional. He has volunteered for numerous charitable organizations, including Relay for Life and Atlanta Dance Marathon, and is always seeking new ways to help those less fortunate. He is deeply spiritual, but not religious. Sky was adopted at four-months-old and only recently reconnected with his surviving biological family. Sky grew up in Stone Mountain, GA, a suburb of Atlanta, and is proud to have participated in the evolution of that beautiful city. These days, he is writing and producing from Madeira Beach, Florida, a suburb of St. Petersburg, in The Greater Tampa Bay Metro Area.
