"The Painted Frog"
BOOK RELEASE SUMMER 2026
The Painted Frog
Pete "The Pirate" Carolan - Navy SEAL Frogman
FEATURED WORK: THE PAINTED FROG
There are stories that entertain.. and then there are stories that matter. The Painted Frog is a deeply symbolic and emotionally resonant work that captures the essence of transformation, resilience, and identity through the lens of service and sacrifice. At its core, The Painted Frog is more than a book - it is a reflection of the human spirit under pressure, a story of becoming, and a metaphor for those who have walked through challenge and emerged forever changed. Through layered storytelling from BUDS class 47', Apollo 13 Capsule Recovery Team, and contributors of four generations of service this narrative speaks to the journey of self-discovery and the unseen battles that are carried long after the uniform is removed.
WHY THIS STORY MATTERS:
In a world that often moves too quickly to reflect, The Painted Frog invites readers to pause. It creates a bridge between generations - connecting civilians to the lived experiences of those who serve, and giving veterans a language for stories that are often difficult to express. This book is especially meaningful for military families seeking connection and understanding and veterans and first responders navigating identity beyond service.
SUPPORT THE MISSION:
When you support The Painted Frog, you are not simply purchasing a book- you are investing in a mission. A mission to ensure that the stories of those who have given so much are never forgotten. A mission to inspire future generations to lead with courage, integrity, and purpose.
