The year is 1969 and filled with turmoil. Yet, in the midst of all that is wrong, the first moon landing captures the world’s imagination. For a moment most eyes turn heavenward in hope and wonder.

But not Will’s. Nothing matters more to this young man than the pursuit of the girl he loves. The only things that stand in his way are her lethally jealous boyfriend, her impending departure to college, and his own talent for self-sabotage.

But these are mere details for this young man in love. If men can reach the moon, then Will can win a woman’s heart. All he needs is to take the first small step.

Bullfrog Moon with its cast of memorable characters is the third in a trilogy collectively known as The Jefferson Tales. As does Better To Be Vile and The Book of James, the storytelling is firmly rooted in the Southern tradition of blending just enough comedy to offset the poignancy of life.

There are lessons of the heart to be learned in Bullfrog Moon. Come along with Will on his journey as he discovers what it means to become a man. There will be a few detours, some twists and turns, but in the end it is the destination that matters.
