Conversation with Author Chris Jacobs
Hello Chris! You certainly are a busy man these days! Besides all of your other interests and activities, you've told me that you are now also attending college. How's that going for you?
Well, it is going pretty good! I am attending speech and financial
classes at the moment, but am going into the graphic design field.
Hopefully I am accepted into the program.

I have so much that I want to talk with you about, I don't know where to begin! You wear many interesting hats ~ You are an artist, poet, author, and a paranormal investigator. Let's start with your stunning artwork. Where do you find inspiration for your paintings?
My inspiration comes from the "voice" within. It guides me through all
aspects of my life, let alone my paintings.

Where can people go to see your artwork? Do you offer them for sale?
I do offer my paintings for sale, but unfortunately I do not have them
hanging in any art galleries or homes...YET!

I am very interested in your paranormal investigation work - I guess you know that since I've asked you questions about it before, but please tell us something about your work.
I belong to a paranormal group by the name of Paranormal L.I.G.H.T.S.
(Lincoln Investigations of Ghost Hauntings and The Supernatural). The
group was founded roughly 8 years ago by Nicholas Downs and Emily
Ganz. I have been in the group for at least 4 years now and in that
time we have investigated numerous locations around the heartland.
What we do is when someone comes to us and asks us if we can
investigate their house to see if it is haunted or not, we come out
with our equipment to see it we can prove it. We use a variety of
instruments, from a simple camera, to electromagnetic field detectors,
to digital recorders. We also investigate cemeteries and historical
sites as well. Our most notable investigation was to Ball Cemetery
near Springfield Nebraska. We caught the image of a Native American
apparition attacking the crew.

You also have said that you are an artist reenactor ~ What does that involve?
My father and I have have camped out and have been merchants at
historical reenactments since I was little. We study several defferent
time frames: Greco Roman, Dark Ages, Medieval, Renaissance, Colonial,
French and Indian war, Revolutionary war, and the Mountain man era. We
sell leather goods of our own making, plus knives, candles, and
ironware all appropriate to the time frames depicted. We also wear the
appropriate clothes for the events as well.

Now, to your poetry! You have a new book out called The Language of Heaven: Poetry of the Divine Volume 1. Can you tell us about it?
Yes, It was conceived back in May of 2005. It is the first book I
ever wrote and it includes poems from now all the way back to when I
was in high school. It's newest incarnation, Volume 2, was just
completed this year and includes 100 new and old poems. All of my
poetry and other writings I attribute to that same "voice within" that
guides my every move.

When did you first begin to write poetry?
I began to write poetry back when I was in high school, but really
started to excel at it later in life.
On a more personal note, here is the one question that I ask all of my victims, um, I mean guests ~ What is the most surprising fact about you that your fans would be shocked to know?
I see and speak to "dead people". It has been I gift of mine since long ago.
I know that you are a fan of traveling and adventure, where are some of the most interesting places you've visited?
I have been to many places around this country, but a few of the most
interesting places would have Santa Fe, NM, Colorado Springs, Co, and
San Antonio, TX. In Santa Fe I went with my mother to Saint Francis
Cathedral and saw the spiral staircase that stands on its own, we also
went to Chamiao and collected the holy dirt in the well. In Colorado
Springs, we went to The Garden of the Gods amongst the red rocks. We
also passed Cheyenne Mountain Military base, home of Norad and of
course the Stargate, LOL! Earlier this year I went to San Antonio with
my father. We saw the Alamo and went to Brakettville to the Alamo
Movie set. Unfortunately, I have not been out of the country yet. :(

Who would you say has had the most positive impact on your life?
I would have to say my parents have had the most positive impact on me.
Let's take a ride in a time machine ~ Where do you see yourself in 10 years? What is multi-talented Chris Jacobs doing in 2017?
I am in a house in the country with someone I love! Hopefully! :) I
have to fall in love first! LOL!

Who are your favorite authors to read? Are there any authors' work that have influenced your own?
Though I do not read too much, I have read Robert Frost, Robert Burns,
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Poe, ect. My work, however, is influenced by
my own experiences and soul incursions as it were. I have noticed
though, that I am influenced by the works of others that carry a
certain "Vibration".

Any new inspired works that we need to be on the lookout for?
Yes, as I said before, The Language of heaven, Poetry of the Divine
Volume 2, but I also have a few other projects I am working on.
The Maiden's Fury - Which is done, but is going to be published in a
more solid form later.
Pricilla's Moon - Sequel to The Maiden's Fury. It's not quite done
yet, but close.
Lonely Mountain - Continuing the story and characters of The Maiden's
Fury and Pricilla's Moon, this one is in the preliminary stages at the
moment. When I come up with an idea that I feel belongs in this book,
I jot it down.
I very rarely am inspired to write erotic, sensual/adventure stories,
but these just seemed right to me.
Another work that is close to completion is Sorceress of Evil, a book
that both my father and I am working on.
