In his coma, he enters an in-between land, meeting historical and fantastical figures, such as Melchizedek, Sage, Simon, and a tweeting mockingbird called Mock. Over bonfires, meals, and walks through pastoral meadows, these men convince Script to go through a series of portals and enter Hell to circumvent the devil's pernicious plans to co-opt his play for evil ends." <strong> Mari Carlson, The US Review of Books</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"Presence, the Play is a thought-provoking story that is well-written, has great characters, and a great message. If you enjoy uniquely expressive novels then this imaginative story is for you.The book is a great reminder of the power and importance of words and stories." <strong> Literary Titan</strong></p><p><br></p><p>"The story woven by author William Jefferson is a grand one. At times, it feels almost like C.S. Lewis has joined forces with him, taking us into a new Narnia and opening up some of the most amazing and memorable scenes you've read in a long time." <strong> Feathered Quill Book Review</strong></p><br>
