About the Book

A raw, gripping debut novel about overcoming the fear of the world. Orville McFadden's fantastic world of trolls, magic, and giant spiders is swiftly shattered with the murders of his sister and grandmother. Internal demons creep in and Orville begins to walk along a path of fear-fear of the world, fear of losing his loved ones, fear of failure. After a failed baseball career, a failed acting career, and a failed marriage, Orville hits rock bottom. He finds himself poised to jump from the Ballard Bridge in Seattle-it's at this moment, Orville must decide in the power of choice: to lead a life of failure or to choose a life worth living.
About the Author: Timothy Ross McDonald is a young author who has overcome personal tragedy and has conquered his own fear of the unknown. In his reflectively raw debut novel, he channels this haunting struggle of his own life into Orville James McFadden, a boy with a fantastical mind and a fear of the world. McDonald's brilliant mix of plot driven narrative and dialogue are bound to make one reflect on their own struggles with fear, compelling one to turn the page, to find out what becomes of Orville James McFadden. McDonald writes witty dialogue and raw scenes that make one laugh-out-loud at one moment and cry out with wonderment at the next. He writes reflectively about the world, and his characters are gray with complex internal struggles. McDonald is one to explore the darker areas of life, and he writes terse prose mixed with larger philosophical trains of thought. In addition to fiction writing, Timothy McDonald teaches English and is currently studying oenology in Italy. Read about his own philosophical reflections, travels, and his up-and-coming second novel, God City: The Flood in his witty and hilariously creative blog, http: //www.failuremcfadden.com.
