Synopsis

The Frog King is a tale about one man's struggle and coming of age in the modern world, a world that oppresses him. Bill, a college junior and music major, believes he's found his soul mate. Now, after waiting patiently for his true love and with emotions ready to explode, he leaves home to pursue her. Nothing can stop him, not his tyrannical mother, not her overly protective father. Like most young men he believes he can accomplish anything. However, like most young men he is naive, impulsive and inexperienced. Just when he thinks everything is going his way, something so terrible happens that Bill risks losing everything, even his sanity. As Bill struggles, he finds a mentor in one of his college professors. Challenged to find out who he really is, Bill begins to unlock the cage that has imprisoned his soul since time began. During a Vision Quest he stands alone in Skull Valley, Arizona. Out of his tortured past a mortal enemy has once again found him and a life and death battle ensues.

About this title

About the Author

Raised in Southern California, John Worman was educated in the public school system, studied the violin, electronics and, like his grandfather, he shared a passion for metaphysics. During his many years of living in the Sonora Desert of Southern Arizona, he studied Christianity, Buddhism and the spiritual beliefs of the American Indian.Today, John still enjoys playing the violin, ham radio and astronomy, but his principle occupation remains electronic engineering. John has written many technical articles and several fiction works. For recreation, he hits the ski slopes and has also been seen sailing a catamaran in the French Antilles. John is currently editing his next work: "The Screwtape Letters, 2000." It's a volume of correspondence between the old master, Screwtape, and his new disciple, Scrabtree, that, by certain covert means, he's been able to compile. Simply put, these letters involve diabolical training aimed solely at disrupting the Faith of mortals and causing them to turn their attention away from all that is Holy and towards an entity that Scewtape referred to as "Our Father Below."The greatest deception the devil ever enjoyed has been convincing mortals that he doesn't exist. As spiritual hope rises in the twenty-first century, and carrying the tradition of Mr. C. S. Lewis, John will soon offer these underground letters to the public.John Welcomes e-mail correspondence and can be reached at: the_frog_king@comcast.net
