Produktbeschreibung
Near the largest frog farm in the world, townspeople synchronize their days and nights to soulful, all-day, all-night frog song. One day, the frog calls stop. The music dies. Word of "The Silence" spreads. Social media goes feral with jokes and insults. The town turns to religious leaders, shamans, and a magical ritual. An entrepreneur tries to help but she causes more trouble. Nothing works. In The Silence of Frogs, a precocious young scientist is convinced she can bring back the peace and harmony of frog song. Only her comedic biology teacher and her visionary friends believe in her. She makes a profound discovery. Then she and her team of radicals spawn an astonishing future not only for the town, but for the entire human community.
Autorenporträt
I somehow won the genes-and-family lottery when I inherited a natural happiness coupled with a skeptical eye and a drive to "do be do." Despite numinous gifts of love and energy, my magic carpet has slipped out from under me many times. I believe pulling out of those nosedives gave me the confidence to write and write. I developed and taught writing and coaching programs for youth artists, adult writers and adult inmates. I've published poetry and fiction and performed work in person across the U.S., in numerous print magazines and on the Internet. With poet friends, I founded Fractals, a literary tabloid, and with musician friends, I ran Poets and Players, a community performance series, and I write a lot. My day jobs, the pylons holding up the wires powering my artistic life, include founding and managing small businesses ranging from soy foods to ice cream to telephone fundraising to biological pest control to energy efficiency and solar retrofits and a media company. Some might think so many business and writing projects reveal an innate instability, 'tis true. I admit to restlessness and endless curiosity about this mysterious world and the Crooked Paths we all meander.
