Peter and the Serpent - Ralph Osgood

. .

Résumé :
In London of the 1740s, life was brutish, nasty and short whether experienced by the lower classes or viewed from the heights of privilege. The streets of London teem with the likes of pickpockets, prostitutes, mountebanks, Merry Andrews, and depraved aristocrats. Our hero's journey takes us from the squalor of Newgate prison to the heartbreak of the Tyburn gallows and finally to a fateful encounter at the open air fair in Moorfields. His path crisscrosses that of the great Evangelist, George Whitfield, and our protagonist comes to know the love of a Father who will never forsake him.

Biographie:
I am a poet, an historian, a novelist, and a writer for stage and screen, but foremost a responder to Jesus (Romans 5:8).

I was employed for over forty years in the entertainment industry, the last thirty of which I have crunched numbers successively for three of the top ten theater circuits in the US.

Back then my forte was numbers, added up in columns and balanced. Now I am hard at work exploring the richness of existence in a passion for words. Words that add up into poems, works of fiction and non, and works to be performed.

I am currently writing my third novel, looking out from my window onto the great Pacific Northwest, where I live with my wife Karen.

I am self-publishing my first work in June 2022, and from then on, plan to put something out every three months.
