Lyrics for Lara

The Newest Lara Cole Adventure

Frohnmayer6_Cover_Crop_150DPI.jpg

Lara Cole is back in Oregon, this time for a mini-vacation through the breathtaking vistas of the Columbia gorge, Crater Lake, and the splendors of Southern Oregon. She is accompanied by George Graham, her surrogate father/FBI agent/mentor and his wife Alma. Alma, a teacher , makes sure they know what they are seeing.

​

Lara has promised “Stoney”, her six foot tall, kick-ass  lawyer friend, to help find out who is responsible for taking homes from the poorest of the poor in the Roseburg area. This puts Lara in contact with some very dangerous people, and threatens to fit her for “the wooden overcoat”.

​

Meanwhile, that soul-seducing singer, David, is back, promising that every lyric is a shelf upon which memories can be stored.  The romance is real, but can it endure both the corners of life’s turmoil and the danger that constantly pursues Lara?

JOHN FROHNMAYER

John's trilogy of books on sports and philosophy, Socrates the Rower (courage, and self-knowledge);  Carrying the Clubs (golf and ethics); and Skiing and the Poetry of Snow  (glimpsing the world behind the world) are out there, inert, but steaming, waiting for you to pick them up, read them, and challenge your body and mind as you dive into life.

 

Now John is writing fiction (intentionally this time).

 

Blood and Faith is an international thriller involving Russia, Ukraine and the United States in a crisis precipitated by the theft of Eastern Orthodoxy's most sacred Icon.  It is timely and historically prescient about the longstanding quarrels between Russia and Ukraine.

​

In the sequel, The Dangerous Illusion of Art, Lara seeks to regain her equilibrium, only to be tossed about in the world of money laundering, fake art, local politics, and rural mayhem.  It quickens her senses, and her desire for romance.
