More DescriptionCAUTION: Spider In Baggie In Freezer is a comic fantasy about finding resolve in middle age and courage in the Middle Ages. Picture this: it's 1990 and two buddies - Mike and "Wiz" are dealing with mid-life crisis. Mike is a 42 year old part time "Mr. Mom" and professional voiceover actor. His best friend, "Wiz," is an 800-year-old dwarf/gnome (product of a mixed marriage) who has nearly unlimited supernatural powers. Wiz often uses his powers to create short adventures for them both as well as to teach Mike lessons about life. This (short) comic novel opens with Mike being turned into a duck, all because he told Wiz he wants a change, "something out of the ordinary," because that's what Mike feels his life is becoming -- ordinary. In the process, Mike is kidnapped by three Runyanesque burglars. As often happens, Wiz resolves the situation for Mike. In doing so, Wiz reveals he has taken on a new persona -- a high school senior -- and he's fallen in love with one of his classmates ¿ the lovely Elizabeth Rose. Mike is envious. His own love-life is less than happy. So now Wiz and Mike both desire change in their middle years, yet are frightened by it for different reasons. It¿s a comedy so, of course, everything works out eventually, but not before Mike is sent back to twelfth century England and is nearly drawn and quartered. Does Wiz have an ulterior motive in sending Mike back to that point in time? Will Mike find a way to use his wit and intelligence to save his self? Then there¿s that vengeful fairy who has been causing trouble for Wiz since the twelfth century. Will she have her revenge and destroy a middle-aged wizard¿s hope for happiness with the girl next door? Though all this, Mike learns there is no such thing as a ¿coincidence.¿
