Marquette author turns historic play into new book

The play Willpower, about a historic notable Marquette resident, has been adapted into a book by its playwright and local author, Tyler Tichelaar. The story of Will Adams, the "Ossified Man," now has been released in several forms including a book and DVD.

Excerpt: When Will S. Adams was diagnosed with ossification, a mysterious disease that caused his tissues to harden until he became nearly a living statue, he refused to quit living life fully and was immensely productive. Now the original play Willpower, which translated his life story to the stage, is available as a book and a DVD.
