Somewhere Never Traveled
When the next change in human evolution comes, it's not what anyone expects. Crouched in a ravine in Montana, Arvin Samuels takes aim at a cougar that has been stalking the herd on his uncle's farm. At the moment the bullet tears through the wildcat, something happens to Arvin. At the same moment, the same thing happens to Sylvia Bostic, a worker at a homeless shelter a thousand miles away, and to Jen Brunt, a nine-year old girl bouncing on the trampoline her father gave her for her birthday. None of them anticipated or wanted what happened to them, but the moment Arvin shoots the cougar, their lives are forever altered. And so is the human race.

None of them - or the others that follow - want the changes happening to them, and none of the can control when it happens. When a doctor investigating what he believes to be a disease afflicting these changed people is found murdered, curiosity turns to alarm, and the changed become the hunted. Called "Squatters" by those who fear them, the changed, as they find each other, refer to themselves as "The Weavers," and begin to work at ways not only to keep themselves safe, but to change the rest of the world, as well.

Reviewers have called Somewhere Never Traveled "a compelling, thought-provoking read," and "...breathtaking..."
Somewhere Never Traveled is Book One in The Weavers trilogy. Book Two, tentatively titled, Things Which Enclose, will be posted in 2016.

About the Author

There are places in your life that draw your heart right out into the world, and Judith Mikesch McKenzie was lucky enough to be born in one such place: the high mountains of western Montana - the Flathead Valley, specifically. The child of working-class parents (an auto mechanic and a cafeteria cook) she left home early, and has traveled to many parts of the world, but is always drawn to the mountains and valleys of the Rockies as one of the places on the planet that feeds her soul.
Her working-class roots also consistently feed her soul - she was inspired by the sharp minds and even sharper wit of her Irish-American parents, and their strong ethics, both in work and in life. They, along with the ever-gentle presence of her Bohemian grandmother, shaped her view of the world, and continue to do so to this day. Themes related to the working class and family drive her to the page over and over, creating characters whose connection to family and their family roots are their strongest foundation for living their lives.
The combination of Irish and Bohemian (with a gypsy great-grandmother) influences are evident in her life - outspoken, direct, and eclectic, she is drawn to friends and groups of people who reflect those characteristics. She is also a wanderer, never content to stay in one place for too long. When friends who have been out of touch call her, their first question is always "and where are you living now?" She loves change - new places, new people, new challenges, but also has a strong connection to friends who have been in her heart for many years.
Writing is her home.
