World War II veteran Frank Porter was permanently injured during his service as a paratrooper. But that was eight years ago, and now his bum foot is only a small part of his struggle. He never found success in the field of fine art and instead works long hours as an animator in an LA film studio. Fearful about revealing his true self, even to his friends, he'll be enduring another Christmas alone-except for his two pet frogs. When his boss orders him to spend a day observing handsome matinee idol Carver Reed-the voice behind the character that Frank is animating-Frank figures he's in for an embarrassing ordeal. The meeting, however, turns out to be something quite unexpected. Battered but not broken, can Frank find the courage to make one more jump? Kim Fielding is very pleased every time someone calls her eclectic. Winner of the BookLife Prize for Fiction, a Lambda Award finalist and three-time Foreword INDIE finalist, she has migrated back and forth across the western two-thirds of the United States and currently lives in California, where she long ago ran out of bookshelf space. She's a university professor who dreams of being able to travel and write full time. She also dreams of having two daughters who fully appreciate her, a husband who isn't obsessed with football, and a house that cleans itself. Some dreams are more easily obtained than others.Kim can be found on her website: http://kfieldingwrites.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KFieldingWritesand Twitter: @KFieldingWritesHer e-mail is kim@kfieldingwrites.com
