Update from Yuya on life and new book/film Ari and Salome Celebrate the Coin:

What’s up all you music fans in Canada, Australia and everywhere!!! OK, I’ve been MIA … been gone but not unproductive, as have written over 80 pages for Ari and Salome Celebrate The Coin, my new book/film that celebrates this first century couple. Ari is Aristobulus, the Herodian Jewish King that much of Jesus' life is based on, while Salome is the very same person whom both Salome and M Magdelene of the NT are derived from.

A couple of weeks back I blew the engine on my vehicle, so have been walking and busing a lot these past days. I tell myself I need the exercise and I do. I tell myself it was my own fault that the motor blew and in many ways it was, for I often drive too emotionally, and too aggressively. Work has been really difficult, and I haven’t been playing much music as have been grinding on my book and script, Ari and Salome Celebrate the Coin:


Ari and Salome Celebrate the Coin


Sometimes I feel as if I am in a time warp, as the current hostilities in southern Lebanon and northern Israel are occurring on the very same geography that my book takes place. I am in a position where time is of the essence and so have to define my priorities and stick with them. If I were able get a literary agent or a book publisher or a film investor on board, I feel that would give the Ari and Salome project some traction, so if you know anybody, holla at yer boy!!!
