Jay Watson and Kyle Wiltshire met in college and soon watched every single Highlander movie together on VHS. They have been the closest of friends for over twenty-five years and still talk nearly every day. They have committed their adult lives to cultivating stories and caring for people.
Jay Watson bio
Jay is passionate about speaking and writing. He has built a disc golf course, saw Garth Brooks in 1993, and takes pictures with fish. His hair started going gray at twenty, and he still loves Will Smith.
Kyle Wiltshire
Kyle has seen U2 in concert eleven times. He tries to paint like Bob Ross and enjoys talking about Star Wars. He loves pop culture and prides himself on being able to name the year any movie from the 1980s or ’90s was released.
Book Overview
What if famous rock stars from the past, those who died young, in sudden and tragic ways, actually faked their deaths to become secret agents? Welcome to the world of The Dead Rock Stars, the heroes we never knew we had. The Dead Rock Stars is a tale about Cole Denton, a young tech genius who discovers the secret world of rock star secret agents. He is tasked with saving the world from an unknown threat—one that’s closer to home than either Elvis Presley or the team can imagine. But can they beat the clock before it strikes midnight on December 31, 1999? In a twisting and nostalgic story, The Dead Rock Stars is an alternate history, placed squarely in the realm of real-world events, that happened without anyone knowing. Brimming with pop culture references for music lovers of every generation, the novel’s fast and hilarious plot will keep readers guessing at every turn.

Apple subscription is $3 a month, again with content not found on the Story-Power podcast.
