Welcome to Another Story Please!

Do you love a good adventure story? So do I.

I love reading them and I love telling them.

Over the years I’ve told bedtime stories to my children when they were young, then told them stories around the campfire as they got older. Now, I have the privilege of doing the same with my grandchildren.

I started Another Story Please! to share some new stories with you as well. Episodes of each new story will be published on the podcast on Mondays and Thursdays, then will be available as an ebook and paperback once the story is finished. Each story is written for a 10-13 year-old reading level, but the content should be appropriate for younger children to listen to.

In addition to traditional stories, I will be creating interactive adventures, What Ya Gonna Do Adventures™, for you and your kids. These stories are a cross between short stories and text based adventure games where your choices make the difference. In the first free adventure, Jungle Jewels, you will have to find a way to escape a deadly jungle with as many jewels as you can carry.

The first story, Spacenapped, is finished and recording is underway. The podcast will premier on Monday, January 10, 2022, and the book will be available shortly after the premier. I hope you will join me in this new adventure!

Papa (Doug) Sjoquist
(Show – kwist)

She’s refueled the jetpacks, but her bestie is missing. Can she track her down somewhere in the void?

Twelve-year-old Taia loves her perfect life in a giant, rotating settlement high above Earth. So when she befriends a newcomer, she’s shocked by the girl’s secret confession that she’s on the run. Convinced she can help, Taia watches her clever plan backfire when she accidentally broadcasts her location to the wrong people… and her companion disappears.

Teaming up with her twin brother, Taia won’t rest until she fixes her terrible blunder. But to rescue her distressed friend from mysterious spacefaring kidnappers, she has no choice but to zip up her spacesuit and begin the chase…

Can Taia undo her disastrous mistake before they’re all lost in space?

Spacenapped is the first book in the action-packed Kalpana Three middle grade science fiction series. If you or your child like brave heroines, loyal friendships, and high-tech thrills, then you’ll love Papa Sjoquist’s orbital adventure.
