Lost in time and dimension, is an island known as Odium. The name Odium came from a great giant who lived when the world was new. The island formed when Odium stepped from the sea. Mud from the bottom of the sea came up under his foot, and remained upon the surface of the water. As he stepped away, a shell cut his foot leaving his blood mixing with the seawater, creating the essence of life, and causing the evolution of the many strange wonders on and around Odium. An Ocean of Dreams surrounds Odium, keeping it cloaked from the ignorant and narrow-minded; an ocean that clouds perception and bends reality causing one to see what they want to see, but not always what is there. Many ships have gone into this ocean never to be seen or heard from again. It is said that this land called Odium holds the keys to our existence, our past and our future. To find the island and rediscover its secrets will bring about a time of great prosperity, wonderment and peace upon the land. However, through the millennia all of the charts and records to Odium have been lost. All that remains are the stories that elders tell to their young at bedtime. Hence, Odium was to remain forever a myth, a story told to children, or so we were led to believe... This is the tale of two extraordinary best friends, who discover a great secret and become adventures. Friends who never gave up, who dared to challenge reality and their own awareness in order to rediscover and explore Odium. For the good of the many, on the hopes of a few, they embarked on a journey of a lifetime.
About the Author: Born in the 20ith & 1/2 century, Frank is a mostly sane individual who has lived most of his life in the wilds of California. During his many trips around the sun, he has had the ability to travel extensively throughout this third planet and seen firsthand many of its delights and rarities. His children, (whom he read to while they still possessed that wonderment of youth and saw mystery and adventure at every turn), are why most of his books were written. To further amuse and titillate their creative spirit; before the onset of adolescents pushed it far back into the deep recesses of their minds and then became lost with the dawning of adulthood, he wrote stories for them, about them and about the things happening in their lives. It is his hope that a new generation of creative, adventure-seeking youth will take up the torch and boldly experience life with eyes of wonder once again. And with some intervention, perhaps of an unworldly nature, his fellow adults may to re-experience this bliss they have misplaced in those cavernous recesses.
