| Kristen as "Monique the Maid" in Accent on Murder 9/2013 |
I look back at my last blog post, I marvel that it's been so long since I've
written here. As you hopefully suspect, I have
thankfully been in good health and have been very busy in recent
months and hope that you have been as well.
In the music and songwriting realm, over the past year I’ve been writing and
arranging songs that will be on my next full-length adult contemporary/folk
rock CD that I plan to release this year.
I’m also working on another ambient project with Kathy Short-Gracenin
and Rusty Wiltjer that the three of us are really inspired by and intrigued with. I’ll share more news on the 2014 music projects
soon (and see my calendar of upcoming performances at ReverbNation here: http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/artist_shows/336419).
Throughout 2013 I’ve been involved in music and acting with music
performances in Bridgton, Lewiston, Norway, South Paris, Oxford and Mechanic
Falls this year. I performed as “Monique the Maid” in the Oxford Hills
Music and Performing Arts Association’s murder mystery dinner theater
production, “Accent on Murder” (see photo, details at http://www.ohmpaa.com/shows/2013/2013AOM.html), which was a whole lot of fun. I’ll be involved in additional theater
productions in the Oxford Hills of Maine as well as musical performances in
Maine and other parts of the U.S. in 2014.
I’ve also been busy with founding and operating the Short Folks For Hope
Foundation, a nonprofit charitable organization that supports the cancer
community. For more about my cancer
journey and the mission and activities of the foundation, please check out the
foundation’s website at http://www.shortfolks.org.

Thank you for your continued interest and support, and best wishes,
