“…a prerequisite read for every student of life…”
April 19, 2009
Comment from Diane Stevenett, visual artist and musician
“Talking To Tesla, The Mirror That Is The Door should be a prerequisite read for every student of life, artist or otherwise. It stimulates, inspires, and propels one to think about life going on about you. It begs one to muse, dream, trust, envision, creatively experiment, design and journal. A basic foundation for the cerebral human—eloquent, rich, and provocative.”

New Answers to Old Questions
April 18, 2009
“I AM JUST FINISHING UP THE BOOK and I wanted you to know how wonderful I think it is. I am convinced that it will be an opening for a lot of people into a new world of their own making.”
“The awareness, honesty and good intentions that made it possible are because both you and Marilyn had the faith and convictions beyond what most people could imagine. Alex, because of your fine mind and memory, the book represents a scope of understanding and awareness that will benefit anyone who is looking for some new answers to old questions, or just trying to figure out their own intuition and creativity.”
“It is beautifully written and engaging as well as scientifically educational.”
“I want to help in any way I can to help people understand the gift you are offering. Thank you both for the heartfelt effort you have made.”

Comments from Ben Behunin, potter, and author of Remembering Isaac, The Wise and Joyful Potter of Niederbipp
“IN THINKING ABOUT IT TODAY AS I SAT AT MY WHEEL MAKING BOWLS, I realized your book is a mnemonic device! I am sure you already are aware of that, but it finally hit me. Your writing is beautiful, descriptive, and yet also abstract…”
“I wanted you to know that your book really makes me think. It causes ideas to blossom, and dreams to occur—it is indeed a threshold into another world. It is that piece of mirror you describe in your treasure box. It is seeping into my subconscious; and arousing, creating thought. I am still only half way through Chapter 5. I am a slow reader anyway, but your book causes me to read even slower, wanting to suck the marrow out of it. Thank you for sharing it.”
“I recently came across a Thoreau quote I like. ‘A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.’”

Eating the Energizer Bunny
April 17, 2009
Reader Comment from Jan Jenson
“I TELL MY FRIENDS who have inquiring minds, and like fascinating books, about Talking to Tesla because it REALLY stimulates the mind in unexpected ways. I had NO IDEA what the book was about—other than thumbing through it quickly at a friend’s house. She grabbed it away and said “order your own” and don’t read bits and pieces of mine. This is a VERY unique book, with a life all its own (a vibration, a color, a sound… it seems to stimulate all the senses and starts them humming, errr… perking?).”
“I can’t say what will happen if you read it. Just do. Take a chance on it changing your world in marvelous and stimulating, thought-provoking ways! It zapped my creativity into over-drive. Most people ask me if I ate the Energizer Bunny! That’s a great problem to have, now that I’m over 65!”
Talking To Tesla Launch Was A Wonderful Event!
April 5, 2009
THE TALKING TO TESLA BOOK LAUNCH and unveiling of The Talking To Tesla Project on March 18th at the Springville Museum of Art in Springville, Utah, was a tremendous success.
Attendees experienced the music of renowned Celtic performing artists Kirkmount, the music of the multi-ethnic Studio A Childrens’ Choir, directed by award-winning musician Gael Shults, and a discussion with artist Kent Wing, winner of the 2008 Springville Museum of Art Director’s Award, about the painting Identity that is the cover image of Talking To Tesla.
The event was moderated by Frank McEntire, artist, writer, curator and former Executive Director of the Utah Arts Council whose body of work “paints a picture of distinction and unparalleled dedication to the arts” according to gallery owner and critic Ivar Zeile.
Special thanks go out to Cheryl Snapp Conner at SnappConner PR for her tremendous PR efforts in helping promote and organize the event.
