Why I wrote the book
Several years ago, my family moved to Kansas. On a whim, Cindy encouraged me to read L. Frank Baum’s first Oz book, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” because the story begins in Kansas.
Near the end of the book, Baum describes the iconic scene where the Wizard flies off in his balloon leaving Dorothy and Toto behind. Then the narrator says, “And that was the last any of them ever saw of Oz, the Wonderful Wizard, though he may have reached Omaha safely, and be there now, for all we know.
That intrigued me. Whatever happened to the Wizard? I wrote “The Lost Wizard of Oz” to answer that question. My wife was so pleased with my choice of hobbies that she bought me a Nissan 370Z because it has the symbol for Oz on the side: A circle with a “Z” in the center.
I LOVE MY WIFE!!!

The not so “Great and Powerful” Wizard of Oz has just left the Emerald City, leaving poor Dorothy behind. On his way back to Kansas, the balloon fails, and he crashes into the poisonous desert surrounding the Land of Oz.
After he’s gone, Glinda discovers the conniving little conman has stolen the most powerful talisman in the Land. To recover the talisman, she engages the services of a dangerous bounty hunter to find the Wizard. The pair stumble upon an underground outpost beneath the desert where a dark queen’s army is poised to attack Oz.
Can Glinda and her bounty hunter find the Wizard, recover the talisman, and stop the dark army before it reaches Oz?
