LEGENDARY BLACK: FREDERICK BLACK & THE TIES THAT BIND

by Philip Gabriel

Overview

It's October 31st, 1926.... and the world has just lost an icon in Harry Houdini - or did it? Halfway around the world, in the small unsuspecting town of Watford, England, Frederick Black is born - taking his first breath as Harry takes his last.

Nobody said the journey toward greatness would be easy - certainly not Harry. All Frederick wants is to follow in his mentor's footsteps - a mentor who is long dead and visits him in his dreams. Frederick finds himself mentally and physically tested at every turn. Jealousy has fractured his close friendships, his parents want to hide his extraordinary talents from the masses, and a mysterious raven is stalking him. If Frederick hopes to become a famous Escape Artist, he must conquer his fears and trust his instincts.

Life for young Frederick is a whirlwind of tragedy and triumph as one remarkable encounter after another pulls him toward his destiny. A destiny where life and death are separated by the slimmest of margins. A destiny where two worlds - the living and the dead collide to give rise to the Legendary Frederick Black.

About the Author

This whole “Bio” thing is a bit outside of my comfort zone, to be honest. I am far more comfortable encouraging others to share their stories while offering support and advice. My friends and family would say I am an outgoing, social person yet private in many aspects. I am a husband, a father, and a lover of people--especially those who've fought through adversity to see their true potential. I love reading inspirational stories of triumph. My book Legendary Black is just that.

Legendary Black is my first novel in what I hope to be a stable of future literary works. I draw inspiration from my family, friends, and God. I would say I’m a spiritual person looking to make a positive impact in this world and the people around me. I don’t have an ultra-fancy literary background, but I do have a drive to chase my dreams and inspire others to do the same.
